Wait screaming trees is actually the name of a band?
I got 6 I think
Radiohead.
Alice in chains.
Smashing pumpkins.
Nine Inch Nails.
Matchbox 20.
Pearl jam.
Lol I thought Pearl jam was black eyed peas and I was a little confused about the theme
The other three are:
Hole (Courtney Love’s band) Screaming Trees Soundgarden
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
I missed Screaming Trees, never heard of them, and didn't think long enough about Pearl Jam.
I think hole is actually puddle of mudd, but either works i guess
It’s definitely hole
Yeah you're probably right, I didn't realize most of their famous work was post 2000
Huh… I’ve never heard of that band before. Did they have a famous song with heavy rotation on MTV back in the day? If not, I must have missed them.
If you ever played rockband 1 their song "Celebrity Skin" was featured. That's how I know of them
Yeah but they were early 2000s not 90s.
They formed in 1992 and released their first album in 1997. Granted, not a lot of airplay on that, and they didn't really get much notice until their second album in 2001. I could totally see them being included if someone was just googling "90s bands" though.
They had a couple: "Blurry" and "She Hates Me" come to mind
She hates me was the big one I remember, but apparently that was in 2001 so they're right its probably hole
Blurry I think charted better
Also Skibidi toilet.
Got all 9 I think…

hole
radiohead
sound garden
alice in chains
smashing pumpkins
pearl jam
matchbox 20
nine inch nails
I could only recognize 5 so far
- alice in chains
- smashing pumpkins
- sound garden
- radio head
- puddle of mudd I was born in the 2000's but I grew up listening to 90's music
edit:
HOW COULD I NOT RECOGNIZE PEARL JAM?!
It’s Hole, not Puddle of Mudd. But if you were born in the 2000s that would explain why!
Hole was a more famous 90s band, Puddle of Mudd didn’t have success until the album Come Clean, released in 2001.
I can get 7, no idea who wailing trees or nails in plank are.
nails in plank: Nine Inch Nails :D
Screaming Trees?
Aha!
No, Aha! is a different band.
I had 5, but one different...
spoiler
I missed Sound garden, you missed nine inch nails and matchbox 20.
Oh, I thought the pearl jam was a jar full of jawbreakers at first. Pearl jam makes more sense with the bread.
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.
Americans call jelly jam, and i assume those are pearls.
Jam is made with smashed fruit. Jelly is made with strained juice, giving it a translucent appearance. Source: American
