Best 100 seattle releases

Seattle music generally refers to the music scene and subcultures that originated in Seattle, Washington in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It includes genres such as grunge, alternative rock, and indie rock. Seattle became a hotbed for this music largely due to the popularity of local bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, which gained national and international attention. The scene was also marked by a DIY, anti-commercial ethos, and many bands and venues were part of a close-knit community.
