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.

    A-Sides will give you a lot of their best songs (thats their best of album).
    Superunknown is an absolutely wonderful album, which is defintiely essential with a good portion of their best "non-hit" songs

    I've always thought that "Rusty Cage" and "Outshined" were great songs. Good to play really loud.

    I agree with an earlier post, pick up "A-Sides." You can probably get it cheap and if you like it, move on to "Badmotorfinger" and the other studio albums

    Yeah, A-Sides is actually a very good compilation for the beginner. I still pop it in once in a while if I just want some variety. Anyway, as for the list (excluding tracks on A-Sides):

    Slaves and Bulldozers
    Room a Thousand Years Wide
    Mailman
    Superunknown
    4th of July
    Zero Chance
    Dusty
    Never the Machine Forever

    Boot Camp

    I concur. Incidentally was room a thousand years wide written by Kim? I fucking love that song and I'd be mighty impressed since Chris was the main songwriter.

    First off I want to say that I appreciate all the song listings, I have been a PJ fan for about a year and they have now become my absolutely favorite band of all time. I have recently listened to a couple of temple of the dog songs, and figured I would go out and listen to some soundgarden. Anyways the best soundgarden song I have heard so far, to me, is Burden In My Hand. Soundgarden is a much darker band than PJ, and Burden In My Hand is a much more upbeat song. I believe the intensity and emotion in a song should come from the singer, not music. I feel like a lot of Soundgardens music sets a dark tone. I definately like the band, i just wanted to point out why I still feel PJ is a better band.
