They recruited bassist Matt Lukin (formerly of Melvins) and drummer Dan Peters (of Bundle of Hiss and Feast) to form Mudhoney in January 1988. Mudhoney quickly gained popularity in the Seattle scene, with debut releases "Touch Me I'm Sick" and Superfuzz Bigmuff receiving positive reviews in the music press. Since releasing its debut album in 1989, Mudhoney has recorded a further nine albums and continues to tour. Following the demise of Green River in late 1987, Gossard, Ament and Fairweather formed the short-lived covers band Lords of the Wasteland with Malfunkshun frontman Andrew Wood. By early 1988 the Lords of the Wasteland had become Mother Love Bone. Mother Love Bone quickly rose to popularity in the Seattle scene, and were about to release its debut album in 1990, when Wood fatally overdosed on heroin. That same year, Ament and Gossard (along with Chris Cornell, Matt Cameron, Mike McCready, and a guest appearance by Eddie Vedder) recorded the Andrew Wood tribute album Temple of the Dog (amidst the formation of the band Pearl Jam), which went on to achieve international mainstream success. After Temple of the Dog, Gossard and Ament founded Pearl Jam along with Mike McCready of Shadow, Eddie Vedder of Bad Radio, and Dave Krusen. Pearl Jam gained fame with the debut album Ten and is still active today. Pearl Jam has released eleven studio albums in total and continues to tour.

Fairweather joined Gossard and Ament as a member of Mother Love Bone. Following the band's demise, he replaced Tommy Simpson on bass in the psychedelic rock band Love Battery in 1992. He played on two of the band's albums and many of its tours before leaving that band as well and dropping off the radar. In 2006, he resurfaced in The Press Corps, with Garret Shavlik (The Fluid) and Dan Peters (Mudhoney). Vincent, Green River's drummer, moved to Japan after the break-up and did not return to the United States for many years. He now plays in his own band, Ex's With Benefits (with vocalist Dmitra Smith – a high school classmate of Gossard, Turner and Vincent's).


 * For the legacy section that you took out, I found these sources to back it back.
 * Page 601 of The Guide to United States Popular Culture (2001) by Pat Browne and Ray Broadus Browne, published by Bowling Green State University Popular Press states: "Pearl Jam formed when the Seattle band Mother Love Bone dissolved after singer Andrew Wood overdosed and two of the remaining members, Stone Gossard (guitar) and Jeff Ament (bass), who had originally been in pioneering grunge outfit Green River together decided to put together a new group."
 * Page 386 of The Billboard Book of Number One Albums (1996) by Craig Rosen states "Green River is often cited as the early pioneer of the Seattle scene."
 * Paste Magazine states "Green River is one of the first grunge bands to have success in Seattle’s burgeoning music scene in the late 1980s."
 * Metal Hammer calls them "true grunge pioneers"
 * Also, you said that the AllMusic source that calls them a pioneer isn't reliable but AllMusic is consider reliable according to WikiProject Albums/Sources, as long is the info is from its prose. Issan Sumisu (talk) 16:29, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * " In general, Green River is widely regarded as being one of the pioneers of the grunge music genre." is quite an extraordinary claim. According to Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources, there should be an in-text attribution rather, especially for such an extraordinary claim. Graywalls (talk) 08:50, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
 * RhythmOne is amber on that page for a reason, its not that it's entirely unreliable, it just may need other factors in some cases. That page states to use additional reliable sources when available, the four I supplied above cover that. Issan Sumisu (talk) 09:50, 21 January 2023 (UTC)
