Which band released the 1990 grunge album Green River?

The band that released the 1990 grunge album Green River was Green River.

Green River was a posthumous compilation album by the Seattle band Green River, released by Sub Pop in 1990. It collected material from the group’s earlier recordings, including tracks associated with the Dry as a Bone EP and Rehab Doll, after the band had already broken up.

Green River formed in 1984 and is widely regarded as one of the foundational bands of the Seattle grunge movement. Its members later played in major groups: guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament became central members of Pearl Jam, while Mark Arm and Steve Turner formed Mudhoney.

The title can be confusing because both the band and compilation share the name Green River. The group’s best-known original releases appeared before the 1990 compilation, making the album a retrospective rather than a new studio record.
