In the scheme of things they aren't too off the wall, but in that movement they did quite a few moves against the grain while still being associated with "grunge" unlike POTUSA, or Primus, or RHCP was.
The point I've made a couple times here though is that, at the time, I don't think they were particularly associated with grunge. I certainly knew of them before I had ever heard of Nirvana, Pearl Jam or a genre called "grunge". What they were associated with, like Alice In Chains, was metal. And "odd time signatures, a falsetto, playing instruments in the upper register" were very much staples of metal.

sweet jesus. Fine Zooney. You win.

Did you hear that everyone? Soundgarden is booooring.

edit: keeping in mind of course that it was not a staple of metal to write things like Head Down, Fell on Black Days, or Spoonman.

I'm not really trying to argue any kind of point here. I'm just discussing how strange it is the way perception of Soundgarden seem to have changed so much over time.

Not sure what you're trying to say. Those songs don't strike me as particularly weird or anything.

Well now your hedging your bets.

If soundgarden is metal, then those songs are weird.

If soundgarden is grunge, than the metal characteristics are left of center.

I don't see where I'm hedging my bets. How are those songs weird if they're a metal band?

Do metal bans play Beatles inspired tunes?

Probably. I mean, according to some people on MB the Beatles are the ultimate source of influence on everything.

Yeah! you will get alot of opinions that agree with that,
But most everybody knows that Led Zepplin is the current ultimate source of influence.
