Vince, to be honest most of *Down on the Upside* kind of bores me; never found a taste for it. Yr picks? Definitely a couple good tracks but overall pales in comparison to the other Soundgarden albums, maybe to the point of irrelevance methinks...

They should definitely be the subject of your next post. To this day I can't understand why they never achieved the same amount of success as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice In Chains. They were an amazing act that influenced countless other bands. They may not be as “dynamic” as Soundgarden (though they come close), but you CANNOT overlook Screaming Trees.

If they ever get together again before Chris Cornell's voice is permanently shot I'm there. Badmotorfinger has some seriously metal moments---"Slaves and Bulldozers" anyone?

Badmotorfinger has some seriously metal moments—”Slaves and Bulldozers” anyone?

This just inspired me to pull it up again. What about "Flower" from Ultramega OK?! One of the most killer riffs from the "Grunge" era!

I was up on my feet for the whole set, fist pumping in the air, and someone behind me actually said, "Hey buddy, why don't you sit down?" Seriously! I also saw Alice In Chains on the Clash Of The Titans tour in '91, and the crowd looked really confused during the set from this unknown act opening up for Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer. It was beautiful. I saw Soundgarden open up for GNR in the late Eighties and no one knew who they were.

Where Pearl Jam were more hard rock, and Nirvana punk, Soundgarden definitely had a Sabbath-esque, metal feel. So logically everyone here should like them. Right? And is it just me or does Chris Cornell in that last picture look kind of like a long-haired Shia LaBoeuf? Damn, Soundgarden were great.
