    I saw in the sky
    I heard it in the wind
    I thought it was the end
    I thought it was the 4th of July.

    love that passage.

    what from that album is not lovable?
    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    Whilst I think that BMF has brilliant songs, SU flows better as an album to me.

    Superunkown is simply a masterpiece, I've always thought of it as one of the most critically under-rated albums in history. If the wind was blowing right it could easily have gone down as a universal classic but, as it is, you rarely hear it mentioned in the press / media / industry. I'm trying not to blurt out "I think it could be the greatest album of all time"... but you know what? Sometimes I do think that. From start to finish it's faultless and completely sublime.

    ...is no Badmotorfinger
    32 shows and counting...

    Superunknown is richer and more musically mature than Badmotorfinger.

    I'm not going to get into arguments about it. Yes, it's all about taste; yes, it's possible to like Badmotorfinger better than Superunknown but it's quite obvious the aforementioned statement is the case.

    True!

    Favourite song on Superunknown?
    My Wave for me :D

    the lyrics are the best i've come across


    the day i tried to live
    i stole a thousand beggars' change
    and gave it to the rich...


    my favorite line on the album, and almost every line is good.

    played this album on the weekend... I haven't played it for years but it's a really amazing effort. Makes you wonder what happened to Cornell.
    I'm just flying around the other side of the world to say I love you

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)
