It's because I'm fascinated by what I call the Soundgarden Phenomenon.

It's the phenomenon whereby a middle of the road band who was kind of second-tier in their day can somehow become legendary if given enough time.

I blame the literature that insinuates they were first-tier as much as I blame the people putting them on a pedestal...

Have you guys heard Superunknown..? It's a masterpiece. Even their lesser albums (Down on the Upside and Badmotorfinger) have some amazing songs on them, and are overall quite consistent.

Hell, their first two albums have a couple gems.

Oh, and Chris Cornell is incredible.

For the hell of it: Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Nirvana (Just did the "Seattle Four")

It has "Spoonman" on it.

"Spoonman" is a good song, and has a really good guitar riff.

Either way, it also has "4th of July", "Like Suicide", "The Day I Tried to Live", "Black Hole Sun", "Superunknown", "Limo Wreck", and "Fell On Black Days".

To name a few. Oh, and "Fresh Tendrils".

Edit: And "Mailman".
