I've heard the name Screming Trees so many times, but I couldn't place any of their songs. I just went to poked around, This is the only one i've ever heard that I can recall

Even though I lived through the 90s and was into most of those bands, I have never even heard of Matchbox 20. So that was the only one I couldn't guess.

[–] TrumpetX@programming.dev 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

What jam bottle has a handle? But then after you know, it's the lid on it's side.

[–] _stranger_@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I was thinking beer and marmite, like is this some obscure Australian band I don't know about?

[–] BobbyGasoline@lemmy.world 3 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

You know you are getting old when you hear Beans on toast at the hardware store.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Wakeup call: Damn this grocery store radio station is LIT. ohh fuck, did my brain just do that?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 1 day ago

This wasn't headlined with wrong answers only.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 39 points 1 day ago (2 children)

[–] gh0stb4tz@lemmy.world 43 points 1 day ago (5 children)

The other three are:

Hole (Courtney Love’s band) Screaming Trees Soundgarden

[–] diabetic_porcupine@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I thought soundgarden was a puddle of mud for some reason

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago

I thought hole might have been one, and screaming trees was totally just something random I said in my head.

Can't believe I missed Soundgarden

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I missed Screaming Trees, never heard of them, and didn't think long enough about Pearl Jam.

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (8 children)

I think hole is actually puddle of mudd, but either works i guess

[–] Karjalan@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Dang, I only got like 6 or 7 of these, even though I know all the bands.

Was thinking that they could have easily done counting crows too

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Wait screaming trees is actually the name of a band?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 hours ago

I think Josh Homme from Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age was in the band for a period of time.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It feels like there is a non zero chance that this graphic was made by a member of the Screaming Trees, because nobody k ows who that is, certainly not at the level of the other 8. Like, Stone Temple Pilots would be a good actual 9th. Maybe Garbage.

[–] moody@lemmings.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Screaming Trees were a big name in grunge (not part of tge big 5, but in the same scene) in the 90's and have collaborated with several of the other bands in this image. Mark Lanegan (rip) has gone solo and done a bunch of stuff with Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, and Eddie Vedder since then.

[–] chunkystyles@sopuli.xyz 3 points 15 hours ago

He also sang some of Queens of the Stone Age's best songs.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think I heard more than one song by Garbage until they did that Bond theme song.

[–] RamenJunkie@midwest.social 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I guess I was in a different music loop, I liked Garbage (the album) and Version 2.0. V2.0 in particular is one of my favorite albums from High School.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Guess so! I was mostly exposed to country and oldies at the time.

[–] frunch@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hell yeah 😆 i first heard them on the Singles soundtrack https://youtu.be/rWoG7jShUck

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Huh well I cant say I remember them or the song but they certainly sound very 90s.

[–] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Am I the only one trying count hands and also wondering why "hands from the 90s"...

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

What's on the table between the matchbox and the jar, and why does the jar have a handle?

[–] ContriteErudite@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

It's a jar with the lid leaning against it. The jar is full of jam, and a butter knife is spreading the jam on bread. The jam also has pearls in it.

Pearl Jam

[–] AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.ca 2 points 21 hours ago

Oh! I see it, thank you and the others replied, I see it now.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 3 points 1 day ago

That's the lid leaning up against it.

[–] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That's a lid, not a handle, and it's a butter knife spreading the substance in the jar on a piece of toast. I couldn't tell what that was on the table either

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 points 21 hours ago

I mean the notes in the garden there could be the beat farmers but I don't think they ever went main stream.

Got all 9 I think…

nine inch nails

[–] DahGangalang@infosec.pub 4 points 1 day ago (3 children)

So I've got 6:

  • Nine inch nails
  • Alice in Chains
  • Matchbox 20
  • Radiohead
  • Smashing Pumpkins
  • Sound Garden

Unclear what the hole, the screaming trees, and the (jelly?) sandwich are, but I bet those are the other 3 I'm missing.

Maybe in the meantime you got the answers from the other comments, but appart from Pearl Jam, the other two you pretty much guessed them accidentally : Hole and Screaming Trees.
