The following were all released on the A&M Records label.
. Finally in 1997, Gary Cherone joined with Van Halen for their album called Van Halen 3, issued in 1998, and he left Van Halen in 1999-2000. A compilation of b-sides and non-album tracks by the band, which had been planned by them prior to even beautifulgarbage, is also reported to be in the works. Extreme disbanded in 1996. Shirley has also said BLM will comprise more hard rock and be a return to Garbage's roots after the eclectic experiment of beautifulgarbage, an announcement that has resonated with most fans. The subsequent record Waiting for the Punchline, released on February 7, 1995, containing the singles "Hip Today", "Unconditionally", and "Cynical" was even less successful than III Sides to Every Story. It originally had the working title Hands on a Hard Body, but Shirley Manson announced that the band had come up with a new title, Bleed Like Me, that better fits the band's improved dynamic following a period of tension and crisis in October 2003.

The band was sued, but they quickly settled out of court, later releasing a new version of the film clip. The offical track listing as follows: Bad Boyfriend, Run Baby Run, Right Between the Eyes, Why Do You Love Me, Bleed Like Me, It's All Over But The Crying, Boys Wanna Fight, Sex is Not The Enemy, Metal Heart, Why Don't You Come Over, and Happy Home. The video for the first single, "Rest In Peace" was inspired by a film short by the National Film Board of Canada called "Love Thy Neighbour". Garbage's next album, Bleed Like Me, will be released on April 11th 2005 (April 12th in North America). Sales of the ambitious concept album III Sides to Every Story, released on September 22, 1992, were disappointing despite the record receiving critical acclaim from some quarters. Garbage followed the album up with a successful tour of the US and Europe. Extreme was one of the many bands to receive diminished attention from music fans and the recording industry when musical tastes changed in a rush following the release of Nevermind by Nirvana. Still, the album managed to reach #6 in the UK and #13 in the US, though it quickly slid down the charts.

The subsequent single, Hole Hearted, also an acoustic and sweetly-sung tune was also successful, rising to Number 4 on the same popular music chart. Hence, no songs charted in the US, and the four singles released charted in the 20s in the UK. It later became a huge smash, hitting Number 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 in the United States. While it represented the band's most eclectic and mature sound to date, it contained no standout commercial singles. The acoustic ballad "More than Words" entered the Hot 100 on March 23, 1991, at Number 81. After again retreating into the studio for several years, Garbage released beautifulgarbage in 2001. Neither single was successful, and album had fallen off the charts when A&M sent the third single to a number of radio stations in Arizona. In 1999, they performed the theme song to the James Bond movie The World Is Not Enough.

"Decadent Dance" and "Get the Funk Out" were released as singles. Their second album Version 2.0 topped the charts in the UK and hit #13 in the US. It revolved around a loose concept, following the path of young boy Francis as he wandered through a decadent, degraded and corrupt society. "Push It" was released and became a summer hit in 1998, reaching #9 in the UK and #52 in the US. The record, which showcased Bettencourt's extraordinary guitar-playing prowess, was an ambitious and complex mixture of funk, pop and glam metal sounds. Garbage spent two years working on their follow-up album, during which time Shirley Manson became well-known by the technologically savvy by being one of the first artists to maintain a blog. Michael Wagener, who had previously worked with Dokken and White Lion was engaged to produce Extreme II Pornograffitti 1990. It went top 20 in the US and top 10 in the United Kingdom.

. Garbage released a string of increasingly-successful singles over the year 1995, culminating in the massive hit "Stupid Girl". The first single was "Kid Ego", a song that Cherone would later admit made him cringe. The fact that Garbage is composed of three music producers is made obvious by the high production quality, with many layers and a "wall of sound" production aesthetic. In 1988, the band signed to A&M Records and recorded their self-titled debut which was issued in 1989. Garbage utilizes samples, electronic loops, grungy guitars, and various other effects to produce haunting and melodic tracks, made distinctive by Scottish singer Shirley Manson's sultry vocals.

The band had accumulated approximately 55 songs by the time A&R director Bryan Huttenhower signed them to A&M Records. This made the band particularly popular with disaffected youths. The band gradually developed a strong local following, and was named "Outstanding Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Act" at the Boston Music Awards in 1986 and 1987. Garbage's angry, emotional lyrics contrasted with their catchy, pop alternative rock music. Cherone and Bettencourt began writing songs together and played numerous shows in the Boston area. Another anecdotal origin for their name, was that Butch Vig contributed a remix to Nine Inch Nails' album Fixed, which Trent Reznor labeled "garbage". Following an altercation between the rival groups over communal dressing rooms Cherone, Geary, Bettencourt and Badger decided to form a new band. The band may have derived its name from their insertion of seemingly unusable noise in their songs.
