Screaming Trees was an influential American rock band that emerged in the late 1980s as part of the grunge movement. Known for their blend of psychedelic rock, punk, and blues, their music is recognized for its distinctive sound, characterized by Mark Lanegan's gravelly baritone vocals and Gary Lee Conner's fuzzy guitar riffs. Although they never achieved the commercial success of some of their Seattle peers, their 1992 album, "Sweet Oblivion," featuring the hit single "Nearly Lost You," is considered a seminal work in the grunge genre. The band's influence on alternative rock and their contribution to the grunge movement underscores their significance in music history.
