Yearbook Photos

Who's that upstanding young lady with the trendy '80s haircut, classy jewelry and winning smile? Would you believe her potty-mouthed debut album is one of indie rock's all-time best?

Do you know who this happy little boy with the striped shirt is? We'll tell you this: He doesn't look much like that these days.

Do you know who the dude is sporting the awesome hair and semi-smirk? It shouldn't be too hard to figure out, because he still has awesome hair and often breaks out that semi-smirk onstage.

Do you know who the young girl is in the above yearbook photo? She was born in Mississippi but moved to Tennessee when she was in her teens. That's when she formed the band she now leads.

Do you know who this relatively clean-cut kid is? He could have ended up sitting in some cubicle in Florida (where he was born) or California (where he grew up). Instead, he plays guitar in one of the world's most popular rock bands, which is based in Seattle.

Do you know who this gap-toothed, shaggy-haired kid is? That vacant stare he's sporting pretty much tells you that "rock star" was his No. 1 career choice.

Who's the dude rockin' the sweet 'fro in the above photo? We'll give you a few clues, starting with the fact that he has less hair these days. Considerably less hair.

Who's the long-haired, vacant-eyed dude in the above yearbook photo? He was born in California and went on to play drums for one of the most popular pop-punk bands of the '90s. Since then, he's released albums with several other artists. He even has a solo record under his own name.

The boy in the yearbook photo grew up with a different name than the one that would make him famous. He was born near Detroit, where he formed a band while he was in his teens. That band is often credited as one of the first punk groups.

The kid in the photo grew up in Pennsylvania, gigged with Cleveland bands and eventually released his debut album under his group's name, even though he played every instrument on it himself. He was a major force in the alt-rock revolution of the mid '90s, releasing one of the best albums to come out of the era.
