King Animal, that was a pretty nice return album from Soundgarden.

I like Chris Cornell a lot and he is a very talented singer. Not so good live in my opinion. I guess they said Layne wasn't as good live in his later years, either, due to all the drugs.
On Bush, I do like them.
Sixteen Stone has some great songs that are an integral part of the mid-'90s. But by the time
The Science of Things rolled around, it was Bush overload on the radio IMO. If I had to hear "The Chemicals Between Us" one more time...maybe it's not so bad now, but it was getting overplayed at the time, which was nauseating. I was excited when
Sea of Memories was announced, but I gave that album a spin, and it's not very good at all.

By Silverchair being grunge, I'm mainly thinking of
Frogstomp and maybe a few songs off
Neon Ballroom, the latter of which I've not spun in a long time. In going back and listening to
Frogstomp, I had forgotten how heavy their earlier sound was. They changed their sound drastically later on as they went "weak sauce" with things, so you wouldn't be missing anything in not looking into it.
