First it steals your mind and then it steals your... your POLL: SUPERUNKNOWN

can't believe i let you guy trick me into listen to Louder Than Love...

anyways the one Soundgarden track that was always my secret personal fav was the one off of the Basketball Diaries soundtrack, "Blind Dogs"

Can anyone explain the Soundgarden/Jesus Lizard beef

Seems Yow and co really hated them

I think Soundgarden may be ILX's favourite grunge act, threads on them are always overwhelmingly, enthusiastically positive.

so overwhelmingly enthusiastically positive that i feel like talking about how much i've grown to like king animal

how did you know that this would be your fate?

this song rules so much

yeah it was not bad. i really just wish they never broke up and had half a dozen more Down On The Upside/King Animal-quality decent albums, i would've been fine with those kind of diminishing returns as much as i am with Pearl Jam. better that than Audioslave and Scream, anyway.

they're a band that sound great together, they could put out hookless whatevers forever and i'll be down. was surprised that my favorite songs on king animal are all cornell-written though

i think he probably missed playing with people that could handle the weird tunings and time signatures and had a whole bunch of ideas saved up that he couldn't really put to much use for a decade.

bones of birds def my favourite off king animal

is 'black days' the best song ever to have used 'whatsoever' in a lyric

it's the only best song to use "whatsoever" in a lyric

undisputed champion

also scores big in the whomsoever category

Am utterly confused by how unremarkable album track "Fell On Black Days" has won this tbh.

During this song I always feel like I'm just waiting for Mailman to start (I don't like to skip tracks)

srsly

Mailman is the one I really came around to

Man, 4th of July was robbed, such a massive song. Idk how that track was received at the time but it's weird to me hearing something so doomy on a relatively mainstream rock album.

my friends and i were teenagers, we just took it all ine

*nedlike flip of the hair*

uug relentlessly otm rn

yes!! fresh fucking tendrils!!

Fell on Black Days winning is as weird to me now as it was four years ago

25 YEARS

Wow. I just started listening to this album this week. I had always had something against SG when I was a kid that I never got over (excepting the Singles soundtrack songs), but I finally found my way in. 25 years too late I guess.

respeckt to whiney

me: i have a lot of different drumming inspirations but i wonder who my favorite drummer of all time is

*listens to superunknown*

me: oh, it's matt cameron

Man, I feel bad for Mailman - what a monster tune!

I swear the echo on the vocals on the title track sound just like Nilssons jump in the fire

also 30 years old today

still really long

I rate LTL higher but this is a close second
When you’re really alone, you’re superunknown

I remember polling this album too, I'm such a screw up. Such a monster album, this with Alice in Chains were probably unmatched. If you take out Nirvana.

Listened to it earlier this week with no idea it was the 30th anniversary, still their pinnacle for me. Head Down probably my favourite now, but Fourth Of July, Limo Wreck and The Day I Tried To Live all contenders too.

Let me drown > my wave is a hell of a twofer to open an album

I like to start on track 3 and skip over “spoonman”

CC’s scream after the bridge on “drown” is so epic

Would still rather have Giannis

also 30 years old today

still really long
