gunners_4_eva Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I had always thought Pearl Jam were the best "grunge" band.Thanks to audioslaves album, i found chris cornell's voice really unique, hard to describe it really. I got a few Soundgarden albums after that, and i really think they were the most consistent of these groups. i just want to know why they arnt widely recognised when it comes to great bands in grunge, i think SG definatley blow the majority of them away, i think theyr better than nirvana and pJ as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This_Guy Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 back then, soundgarden werent as commercial straight off like the others riding that reluctant wave of success. they hopped on a little later. plus musically, it doesnt really speak to a transcendant demagraphic like the poppier riffs of pearl jam or alice in chains.i like to think that sound garden was only grunge by media association and not musically connected in any way.loud love still to this day steals my ears every so often.

Wreckless_Life Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Yeah I'd say that Soundgarden are probably the best 'Grunge' band. They weren't as popular as the other Grunge bands as they didn't have as commercial a sound like the others. They only really became popular with the album Superunknown in 1994.Grunge is a strange term, neither of the so called 'Grunge' bands sound anything like each other. Nirvana had a punk rock sound, Alice In Chains were basically Heavy Metal, Pearl Jam had a Classic Rock sound and Soundgarden were quite psychadelic.

Leigh-Rok! Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Black Hole Sun - One of the only songs I know of theirs... but one of the best of all time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Soundgarden is one of the best bands ever, both BMF and SU are awesome albums. I like Nirvana a lil bit more though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryne Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 I've listened to "Soundgarden: A-Sides" before and the song "Hands All Over" was my favorite, I haven't listened to anything off of them in a while though. Audioslave won't be put aside too soon though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eschman Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 They predate "grunge" by a loooong time.They have the best sineger of the Seattle bands.Pearl Jam was a better band, I think, but BMF and Superunknown as well as Down on the Upside were awesome albums.They were really big before Superunknown. BMF was a huge album. Outshined was every bit as big as evenflow, which was popular at about the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cold*heartbreaker Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 Soundgarden's pretty good but I've never really gotten into them. I think Alice In Chains is the best grunge band, even though some say they don't fit in that category, they came out with the rest of them.

Duffmandavid Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 Soundgarden was a greta band, unfortuantely they will always in my mind, be in the shadow of their neighbors, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
