Who Sang It: The Grunge Generation

Time to test yourself.

IF YOU EVER wished you had come of age during the grunge era of the early 90s, or spent your adolescence with a Seattle-associated soundtrack in your ears, then it’s time to test your wits on the music which drew a line under the hair-rocking of the 1980s.

Match the lyrics to the band to see how you do in The Grunge Generation Quiz.
