10 Best Soundgarden Songs
The best Soundgarden songs are culled from the band's lengthy and rich history, as they formed all the way back in 1984 and achieved an incredible measure of commercial success during the grunge heyday in the 1990s. The combination of gnarly riffage, pulsating rhythmic dexterity and Chris Cornell's soaring, soulful vocals set them apart from the hard rock pack and elevated them above “just another band capitalizing on the grunge thing” status. They eventually split, but found their way back together, but even if they didn't, we'd still have an extensive catalog to enjoy. The 10 Best Soundgarden songs are hard to choose for several reasons, but mostly because they have assembled an expansive catalog that transcends the “grunge” tag, since they existed as an entity years before “grunge” was a category and term. They also honed their sound, which allowed them continued success as grunge and all its offshoot bands began to wane in popularity. Check out our list of the 10 Best Soundgarden Songs below:
