Soundgarden was one of the most most successful and popular grunge bands of all time.
It was formed by drummer and vocalist Chris Cornell and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. They were also joined by guitarist Kim Thayil. Cornell later moved onto guitar and vocals when drummer Scott Sundquist joined the band, but was replaced 2 years later by Matt Cameron.
They survived through band member's leaving and being replaced, along with certain drug addictions. They broke up in 1997 after Chris Cornell began trying to leave their "heavy" sound that defined them. The final nail in the coffin was when bassist Ben Shepherd threw his bass and stormed off stage after equipment failure.
Though they were commonly overshadowed by Nirvana, Soundgarden was a pioneer of grunge music.

Get the Soundgarden Smile mug.A fantastic hard rock band which broke into the mainstream in the early nineties. Much like Alice in Chains (another great band), Soundgarden were tossed in the "grunge" crowd due to hailing from Seattle, but had almost no tie sound-wise to the genre whatsoever. Unfortunately, also much like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden were overshadowed by mediocre acts like Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

Get the soundgarden mug.horribly underrated band from the 90's.i know alot of people on here said that they weren't grunge,but out of all the other "grunge" bands,they seemed to hit the nail on the head the best IMO.all though they were heavily over shadowed by alice in chains and nirvana and such,i honestly think soundgarden is more talented than both.got a problem??
