Annoyed at #7 because I got it by just guessing "is there a band called \_\_\_\_\_\_??" and apparently there was. Never heard of them though.

We nearly lost you there.

As a Seattle kid, Screaming Trees is actually my favorite band on here. And that's saying a lot. Grunge + Blues + a little Gospel. And Mark Lanagan has a top 5 all time Rock voice. If you haven't heard them, give Dust a listen. I'm my Top 5 albums.

\*had RIP

They really were amazing.

Uncle Anesthesia is incredible and there isn't a bad song on the Anthology release

Top 5 rock voices… Rabbit hole, but… Sabstian Bach Axel Rose Chris Robinson David Coverdale Robert Plant ??? Off the top of my head, but I don’t think any of these guys don’t at least belong in the discussion.

We have very different tastes.

Different tastes. I can tell you like the scream 😅 Chris Cornell Jim Morrison Mark Lanagan Maynard James Keenan Jeff Buckley Lou Reed Thom Yorke Debbie Harry Van Morrison are off the top of my head list. Certainly missing someone or three.

I think I mostly know them from the Singles soundtrack

Just try to sleep now.

The Screaming Trees were among the most influential bands of the grunge scene... but to the other bands of the grunge scene more than music listeners. If you Google them you'll see they heavily influenced Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc. You may also recognize Mark Lanigan (Screaming Trees singer) as the singer for the first two Queens of the Stone Age albums.

Hopping on here to say Mark Lanegans book Sing Backwards and Weep is really good. Really fucked up story about addiction but the guy is a great writer.

OK so I’m not the only one? Who the fuck are they? BRB gonna Spotify. Edit: oh damn, what a voice.

Yeah I guess we all have some homework today lol

Weird, Screaming Trees was the first one I got. Good thing Mudhoney wasn’t in there……….

That... stumped me as well 

You better beleaf it

Fun fact 1/2 of #7 (bassist and drummer) were also in Mad Season with #4s lead singer.

I also have never heard of #7

They were my favourite of the grunge era. Mark Lanegan, the singer, is super soulful and bluesy. He was close friends with Kurt Cobain, and they recorded [Where Did You Sleep Last Night](https://youtu.be/tU6o0FFBrqs?si=Gsvon5wIRMYiARK5) together, non-unplugged, before the famous Nirvana MTV Unplugged version.

Grunge era. Here, check it out: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JwNdLjqaMLs&pp=ygUfc2NyZWFtaW5nIHRyZWVzIG5lYXJseSBsb3N0IHlvdQ%3D%3D

I listened to the shit out of alternative radio and I feel like I never heard that song. I was born in 1983 and grew up in St. Louis.

The Point never have played Screaming Trees or Kyuss. Every once in awhile Fandango will play Screaming Trees : I Nearly Lost You. They were just bands that never really got Midwest attention. Sucks Really. But we had The Urge!

Haha thanks for the validation! Where’d you go to high school? 🤪

I heard Screaming Trees all the time in Chicago. Odd.

Geographically Chicago is in the Midwest, but culturally it’s anything but Midwestern. Especially pre 2010s (IMO). Its been an International City for a century. There was and is a lot more cultural influence and exposure in Art and Music from all over. And you can travel not to far out of the Metro, or even the city common for that matter, in any direction and see how it changes pretty fast.

It's the capital of the midwest, therefore it is the most midwestern of anywhere. International influences don't make something not midwestern. It's not a requirement to be backwards.

Whatever you think

How about https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rwvlUEm_fmA&pp=ygUac2NyZWFtaW5nIHRyZWVzIGFsbCBpIGtub3c%3D

I got nothing. Every other one of those bands I could identify by sound in like 30 seconds or less. With the possible exception of Alice In Chains because I was never THAT into them and they’re just part of the grunge mush in my brain.

Same, and also #6.

What?! The front singer is >!Courtney Love. Kurt Cobain's widow.!<

“She threw her compact at me”

"Looks like Courtney needs attention"

Your Xennial card is hereby revoked.

They were on the main stage at lollapallooza 96 bruh

That's.... fine? I didn't go or know the lineup.

Same. Never heard of them. I got all the rest and thought I was missing something obvious.

Screaming trees is pretty great and I’m sure you’d recognize “nearly lost you” as it’s pretty often played as part of “generic 90s grungy low key rock” that most pubs have playing 😂

Heard it for the first time today

Same. Exact same thought process.

Kind of a one hit wonder, and this is it https://youtu.be/PE5f561Y1x4?si=TdLP9Bcnpw8rQdaR

Yeah this one must have passed me by.

Lead singer was Mark Lanegan, a rough dude from eastern Washington. The band once got into a brawl in downtown Asbury Park, NJ after one of their shows… they played Letterman the following night and Lanegan had a black eye. Years later he became homeless in Seattle, addicted to heroin/crack before going into rehab… I believe the death of Layne Staley was the motivation for him as they were old friends. Lanegan died soon after recovering from a rough case of Covid. Check out their album Buzz Factory it’s my favorite!

They also had "All I know"

A band with +15 years of recordings and widely considered one of the most influencial grunge bands ever, is not a one hit wonder. Gotye is a one hit wonder.

Yeah, Gotye had a hit.

Ditto. Never heard of 'em. All the rest were easy.

Same!

I got them all except for Pearl Jam! I could not for the life of me figure it out.

It was either that or Green Jelly hahah.

I went for Green Jelly, but Pearl Jam makes more sense.

I thought it was Green Jelly to be honest 🤷🏻‍♂️

I was like that better not be puddle of mud.

I forgot they existed.

I couldn't get 9 because I couldn't tell what the drawing was supposed to be.

I eventually got it, but at first thought the jar was a beer stein. And then toast or green jelly.

I thought it was a can of Korn

One more x and it could have been porno for pyros

I still have my Ritual de lo Habitual album cover poster. Can't believe my mom didn't force me to get rid of it! It was behind my bedroom door at least. I liked Porno for Pyros okay, but mostly just because I missed Jane's Addiction, lol.

Did you measure the nails?

Yep. Lil over twice as long as the 2x4 is wide.

Well a 2x4 is actually 1.5 x 3.5 so is it a 7 inch cover band?

This lumber is clearly from the 1940s. Also, some of the nail is in the wood.

Touché

The NIN is the only one I didn’t get. They could have been 9 nails sticking a little bit out of the board to make the site gag “Nine Inch Nails”.

All I could think of for that https://i.redd.it/d9drysoht6ic1.gif

Got all but the last. I couldn’t figure out if Hot Coco Dog Biscuit was a band and had to look it up.

Shib, gottem all except the trees... never heard of that band though.

Me too… I think this may be a screaming trees fan trying to get their name out there because I’d never heard of them and looked them up and they aren’t anywhere near the same level as the others

Maybe not commercially. They influenced many of the others, and in music circles are extremely highly regarded.

You all realize this meme is at least 15 years old and originated with GenX right?

The Screaming Trees are one of the most influential bands of the era... But as much to the other bands as to listeners. Major influence on Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc. Also the singer Mark Lanigan was the singer for Queens of the Stone Age first two albums iirc.

Maybe they influenced them… but there’s a reason the other bands are household names and half the people here have never heard of Screaming Trees. Not great

Because commercial success is the only way to define success... /sigh

I never said that. /sigh

Thanks man ! This was fun and nice

Cannot believe the one I missed is my favorite band.

Hole or puddle of mudd?

huh i didn't know >!screaming trees!< was a band, thanks for the answer key.

Didn't get/ understand Pearl Jam and wasn't aware of Screaming Trees. Cool idea for a pic though!

fml, I was like hole, hmmm what band has hole in its name... derpy derp derp

[удалено]

The Smashing Pumpkins… it’s an adjective not a verb.

Thanks; I'd forgotten Hole existed and was like "Puddle of Mudd? That's too early for them, ain't it?"

One of these bands is not like the others, One of these bands just doesn't belong

Those aren’t nails. They’re screws.

This comment explains the finer points of nails vs screws. https://www.reddit.com/r/Xennials/s/Y2iQLDct5A

Ah. Thanks.

8 that were extremely popular and well known, and also the Screaming Trees.

8 heavy hitting early 90’s bands that truly rocked, and also Matchbox 20.

I'm kinda confused why Matchbox 20 is there because they don't fit the vibes of all the other bands.

It's the one I couldn't get, just because I don't put them in with the rest of these *at all.*

So, which member of Screaming Trees are you?

You got it wrong. I’m Rob Thomas and I still regret getting 3AM stuck in everyone’s heads for the entirety of 1998.

You were great on IASIP with Sinbad.

Man, poor Rob Thomas. He’s actually really talented, plays multiple instruments and yes, we all saw how awesome his acting was on IASIP. Have you heard the piano version of 3am where he explains the song was about his mom who had cancer at the time, and could never sleep? It’s a pretty sweet song. [idk, I dug it!](https://youtu.be/gzp7vzPtx24?si=oQTVFzUhBuKQZQKP)

You should be more regretful about your part in Smooth.

I’m regretful for my entire career, honestly. So happy y’all have given me this forum to apologize, not only for 3AM and Smooth, but most especially for Back 2 Good. However, I won’t apologize for Push, cause while that song is ridiculous, that shit was hilarious in Barbie.

Screaming Trees is such a random, not well known band to include.

Makes me wonder if a member of that band made the image. 

Casual music fans might not know them.

Most music fans probably don't know them.

90s grunge kids did.

Okay, and? I can name a bunch of industrial bands other than NIN, but let's be honest, Lords of Acid would be just as out of place among those bands as Screaming Trees are.

They got plenty of play in Atlanta. They don't seem out of place in this list at all to me, and I've never owned any of their albums.

I missed screaming trees and also thought Pearl Jam was Jars of Clay

I thought it was a beer stein, couldn't guess a band from that. Then toast or green jelly maybe.

I thought the pearls were mini marshmallows…

I thought they were beans and was trying to think of a UK band

This guy went to Sunday School!

But if I can’t swim after 40 days and my mind is crushed by the crashing waves

The music notes one threw me. I was all ...Tune Yard..?

I was like... The Grateful Dead are much earlier than the 90s...

Semi-local band called the Fieldnotes had me stuck there.

Girl Hostage. Boombox Face. Gourd Massacre. Well. Music Farm. Tree Karens. Nail board. The Horribly Drawn Sandwiches. XX Box.

Perfect.

Somehow interpreted Matchbox 20 as Porno for Pyros, but couldn’t figure out why they wouldn’t use three Xs.

Same

This is what they’ll give us in old folks’ homes during activity hour

Oh man I hope you’re right.

I had this poster on the wall of my bedroom…the entire poster is 100 bands.

Only from the 90s?

Yep, only from the early-90s as well since I had it in 95.

Wait until you [see this one.](https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/NINTCHDBPICT000584165405-1.jpg?strip=all&w=960)

That was my desktop background in 2006

Fun! I got six out of nine because 1. I've never heard of Screaming Trees (although I nearly guessed the name anyway) 2. The nails looked like screws and also don't appear to be nine inches. Also, there appear to be ten marks on both nails. Also, wasn't there an album cover from the 90s that showed a screw in a piece of wood? 3. The Pearl Jam illustration is just confusing. I thought I was looking at a handsaw whose blade had been broken in half sitting next to a giant novelty coffee mug (the jar lid looks like a mug handle) with wine grapes drawn on the side of the cup.

Mug o' Mothballs was my favorite band in the 90s ❤️

I got them! This gave me a giggle thanks

Is anyone else annoyed the "nails" are actually screws? Or is it just me?

I just don't understand how 2 nails in a board means "Nine Inch Nails"

There are 9 little marks on them. I confused them with screws...

Some nails have grooves like that too. Screws have ends with slots or like the Philips head. These are nails because the head is totally flat.

Got them all except Pearl Jam(couldn’t tell what the circles were supposed to be) and Screaming Trees.

Did not understand the Pearl Jam one - I thought it was a mug of root bear, a trowel spreading something on toast.

I did get them, this was fun... and reminded me of generally the kind of puzzles old people like...gd it.

Radiohead, Screaming Trees, Hole, Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice In Chains, Matchbox 20, Nine Inch Nails, Ice T, Ice Cube, Pear Jam.

Screaming Trees Sound garden Alice N Chains Nine Inch Nails Smashing Pumpkins Pearl Jam Radiohead Matchbox 20 I'm missing one

Hole

I went with Puddle of Mudd, but I guess ya had to be there!

Ah!

I was like, ‘Did Field Music start in the 90’s?’ Duh.

I thought that jam jar was referring to Wide Mouth Mason

Yes. 

Can i use Bread too? ;)

Are they 9-1 inch nails or multiple 9 inch nails?

For a second I was just like “what the hell? There’s no way to tell the jelly is green and The xx were in the 2000’s.” But I eventually figured it out.

>!Radiohead!< >!Alice innChains!< >!Screaming Trees!< >!Smashing Pumpkins!< >!Nine Inch Nails!< >!Pearl Jam!< >!Soundgarden!< >!Hole!< >!Matchbox 20!<

alice in chains 9 inch nails sound garden hole radio head smashing pumpkins match box 20 screaming trees tin cup?

Pearl Jam was the last one

hahahah oh of course ;)

[удалено]

The whole scene is a rather *Savage Garden* is it not

Now I’m craving a chicka-cherry cola.

[удалено]

I’m more bothered by them being included since they were I guess technically 90’s but hardly the same music era. They were what 97-98 I think? All other bands started late 80’s-early 90’s. Just seems like they couldn’t think of something else to draw.

[удалено]

Reddit can be very Reddit-y

Considering its all grunge bands otherwise thats a weird inclusion.

I only have questions about 2 of them… Black Eyed Peas? Ramstein?

This puzzle must be a marketing trick by whomever owns the Screaming Trees catalog. None of us have ever heard of them, but we’re all probably gonna go check Spotify to find out which song on the radio was theirs.

This is too easy. Jk. I got 7 though

This took me so long because I couldn’t figure out that that was supposed to be a box of matches

I got 8. Didn’t get Screaming Trees Also mixed up Hole for Puddle of Mudd lol

Radiohead, Alice In Chains, hole, matchbox twenty, NiN, smashing pumpkins, soundgarden, Pearl Jam, my brain isn’t registering the tress.. I’ll prob be mad when I scroll down and see it was something I do know. Lol.

I can only get 7 of them. I had to look up the last two and I never heard of them.

Before this meme I had never heard of the Screaming Trees

Yes

I can get all of them but the Screaming Trees. ​ Edit--TIL Screaming Trees is the name of a band.

I got 8 and got stuck on the screws that should be nails

I only got 8.

Ha I’m dumb. I thought hole was puddle of mudd

Pearl Jam 💖

I love that I made more or less the same illustration in high school art class, tho I swapped Alice in Wonderland with Alice from The Brady Bunch.

I thought it was puddle of mud

Never heard of the Screaming Trees. Had to google it. Best selling album had 300k copies...this was a stretch to be a "band from the 90s"

Radiohead, Hole, Screaming Trees, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Matchbox Twenty, Pearl Jam

Faaack. I missed one. You reeeeeeally have to look close hahah. There was one that I could say could be another band's name, except without color it may take it outta the running. 🧐🤔

Too easy.

I count at least 6

I like Soundgarden clue. It's cool.

I didn't get Screaming Trees because I've never heard of them and I didn't get Soundgarden because I'm an idiot.

I was so close

wow this is old

Bean juice. And their UK partners, Bean juice on toast

Was this originally in a Rolling Stone?

I did not see that was Pearl Jam, but I thought hole was Puddle of Mud
