The Seattle Sound, from Folk to Grunge

Skskar104 on 01/09/2009

So you consider yourself a walking encyclopedia of music trivia. Well, here's your chance to show your stuff.

Since the late fifties, Seattle has been home to some of the biggest hit-makers in the country. Surrounded by mountains and water, this city has a unique culture which has incubated some of the best and brightest in the music industry. Home to the Boeing Corporation, Seattle has long been known as Jet City. In recent years, the fame has been due to the convergence of coffee (Starbucks started here) and technology (Microsoft, Amazon and Nintendo to name a few). But in the hearts and minds of many of us, Seattle is where we cut our musical teeth.

There are a few easy questions and a couple of more difficult ones. Have fun and don't be afraid to give a little feedback if you'd like. I'll tell you the story, you pick the artist or band.
