    Ok, add Flower to the list too.. Just came on my Soundgarden playlist, hadn't heard it a couple months or so, and this song does indeed kick ass.. Ahh, the early days of grunge.. Still have my old Soundgarden t-shirt my buddy got for me from Lollapolooza '92 (with PJ too), had the SG logo on the front and big-ass middle finger on the back... Got banned from wearing it to work, and from a couple restaurants.. Can't fit into the fucker anymore though, so it's stashed away. My all-time favorite article of clothing..

    Umm,.....everything

    but seriously...if you want to hit a few to get there "bigger" stuff, get the general feel, then dive in:

    Spoonman
    Black Hole Sun
    Burden in my Hand
    the day i tried to live
    jesus christ pose
    bleed together


    Don't care what anyone says about mainstream or overplayed or any of that, my favs (though I love em all) are Spoonman and BHS
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Oh man.....just finished reading all the posts. I never really saw a list of their shite put together before. Simply AMAZING. I would venture to say one of the most overlooked bands of all time. I wish they were still playing. I know they would have been untouchable by now.

    What amazed me is that they never had a weak album. Even their filler was / is sensational.

    I haven't heard any of soundgardens music and was wondering what some of their better songs are, not necessarily the hits but in general the best songs.


    Like A Stone....

    You can't go far wrong with picking up Bad Motor Finger and Superunknown. Bad Motor Finger is a much heavier album and Superunknown is perhaps a little more commercial, so you get a good range of their songs from those two.
