List of grunge albums

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is a list of grunge albums and EPs with articles on English Wikipedia. They appear on at least one cited album list and are described as "grunge" by AllMusic ([1]). Although citations could be found describing each of these as "grunge", in some cases the designation would be controversial, particularly for those bands that are considered Post-grunge.

In addition, several artists not typically associated with grunge music have released albums displaying a grunge sound, including Manic Street Preachers with Gold Against the Soul (1993),[1], R.E.M. with Monster (1994),[2] and Def Leppard with Slang (1996).[3]
