Question: Which band 3 Doors Down or Throwing Muses was formed first ?
Context: The discography of American alternative rock band The Breeders consists of four studio albums, one live album, three extended plays, ten singles and twelve music videos. Kim Deal, then-bassist of American alternative rock band the Pixies, formed The Breeders as a side-project with Tanya Donelly, guitarist of American alternative rock band Throwing Muses.  After recording a demo tape, The Breeders signed to the English independent record label 4AD in 1989.  Their debut studio album "Pod" was released in May 1990, but was not commercially successful.  After the revival of the Pixies and Throwing Muses in 1990, The Breeders became mostly inactive until the Pixies' breakup in 1993.  With a new lineup, The Breeders released their "Safari" EP in 1992, followed by their second studio album "Last Splash" in 1993.  "Last Splash" was The Breeders' most successful album; it peaked at number 33 on the United States "Billboard" 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America in 1994.  The album spawned the band's most successful single, "Cannonball".  The single peaked at number 44 on the US "Billboard" Hot 100 and at number two on the "Billboard" Alternative Songs chart. Throwing Muses is an alternative rock band formed in 1981 in Newport, Rhode Island, that toured and recorded extensively until 1997, when its members began concentrating more on other projects.  The group was originally fronted by two lead singers, Kristin Hersh, and Tanya Donelly, who both wrote the group's songs.  Throwing Muses are known for performing music with shifting tempos, creative chord progressions, unorthodox song structures, and surreal lyrics.  The group was set apart from other contemporary acts by Hersh's stark, candid writing style; Donelly's pop stylings and vocal harmonies; and David Narcizo's unusual drumming techniques eschewing use of cymbals.  Hersh's hallucinatory, febrile songs occasionally touched on the subject of mental illness, more often drawing portraits of characters from daily life or addressing relationships. "Citizen/Soldier" is a single by the American alternative rock band 3 Doors Down from their self-titled album "3 Doors Down".  The song was released as a single in November 2007 in conjunction with a recruitment campaign by the United States National Guard.  The lyrics convey the band's views regarding the actions performed by the Guard.  It was released as the third single for American active rock and mainstream rock radio stations in November 2008, while it is their fourth overall single. Limbo is a 1996 album by the American alternative rock band Throwing Muses, released on Rykodisc.  The album was recorded at the same New Orleans studio the band recorded "University".  Following a tour for the album, Throwing Muses were dissolved, with Kristin Hersh continuing her solo career and David Narcizo and Bernard Georges working on several personal and music projects including Hersh's.  The album, engineered by Trina Shoemaker, also features cellist Martin McCarrick and Robert Rust on piano. 3 Doors Down is the self-titled fourth studio album by American rock band 3 Doors Down, released on May 20, 2008. " It's Not My Time" was the first single from the album and was released in February 2008.  It can be heard on the band's MySpace site.  Another song on the album, "Citizen/Soldier" was released in 2007 as a tribute to the National Guard. Throwing Muses is an album by the alternative rock band Throwing Muses.  It was recorded over three weekends and released simultaneously with Kristin Hersh's solo record "The Grotto" on 17 March 2003.  The album features Bernard Georges on bass and David Narcizo on drums as well as original bandmate Tanya Donelly on backing vocals. Seventeen Days is the third studio album by American rock band 3 Doors Down, released on February 8, 2005, five years to the day that 3 Doors Down released their debut album, "The Better Life". 3 Doors Down is an American rock band from Escatawpa, Mississippi, that formed in 1996.  The band originally consisted of Brad Arnold (lead vocals/drums), Todd Harrell (bass), and Matt Roberts (lead guitar, backing vocals).  They were soon joined by rhythm guitarist Chris Henderson.  The band rose to international fame with their first single, "Kryptonite", which charted in the top three on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart.  The band then signed with Republic Records and released their debut album, "The Better Life", in 2000.  The album was the 11th-best-selling album of the year and was certified 6x platinum in the United States.  They were later joined by drummer Richard Liles, who played during the tour for their first album. Hips and Makers is the debut solo album by Kristin Hersh, best known as the primary singer and songwriter of the band Throwing Muses.  The album was released by 4AD in the UK on January 24, 1994, and by Sire Records in the US on February 1, 1994.  In contrast to Hersh's rock-oriented work with Throwing Muses, the album is primarily acoustic, with Hersh usually playing unaccompanied.  Other credited musicians include Jane Scarpantoni on cello and Michael Stipe of R.E.M., who sings backing vocals on the opening track, "Your Ghost."  In addition to Hersh's own material, the album features a cover of the traditional song "The Cuckoo". Throwing Muses is the 1986 debut album of the band Throwing Muses, released on British independent label 4AD.  This was the first album by an American band to be released on 4AD, which had concentrated primarily on British-based acts up to this point.  The release marked a shift in the label's direction; a year later 4AD would sign Pixies based in part on the band's connection to the Muses, and by the mid-1990s much of the label's roster was made up of American bands.
