Pound for pound, DKC2 may be the "better" soundtrack. But hey, "Aquatic Ambience" and "Stickerbush Symphony" more than justify the inclusion of both DKC installments in any video game music "best of" lists, and there's plenty of other beautifully composed tracks on each.

When I saw Green Day on the American Idiot tour, Sugarcult was the first of three bands.

My memories of their set was them playing to a stadium full of people still trying to find their seat and the singer taking a hit of a joint from somebody in the crowd.

This was September 2004. If you ask me, being on a tour that scale (coupled with their sync placements in Burnout 3 that same year) was probably their “shot” to become synonymous with the genre.
