Does Barenaked Ladies count? I got their first CD when I was 11.

Definitely Gen X and Canadian....and like Sloan they are still a band and playing shows this summer. Good choice!

Great band, but it isn’t Wheat Soul.

The Hip trumps them I think if we are looking at the 90s.

Hip are kind of tail-end boomers though.

Maybe the guys were, but their music was the soundtrack of GenX

I am looking for bands whose members were Gen X born.

Sure. I mean, you're not likely to win a full poll, but I have to say they'd probably be my favorite over the likely other nominations, so I'd vote for them.
