    MLB to me sounds like they were really trying to sound like GNR which makes sense given the time. It's still great stuff that I enjoy and I think chloe/crown is a stupendous song. But Chris just brings me to another place with that voice, and their music is more representative of Soungarden/PJ which appeals to me more than GNR.

    Temple, no question. MLB was like glam rock.

    ToTD. I'll listen to that album front to back anytime. Mother Love Bone, I really only enjoy Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns.

    I basically picked MLB because they had more songs even though I've only heard a few of them. I probably should've picked TOTD though.

    Picked Mother Love Bone because they were different. TOTD was Soundgarden with guests to me.

    Yea, I guess Cornell's voice just puts me in that place. I do enjoy both however.

    Temple of the Dog is a fantastic album - I love every song and it's still one of my favourite records to spin...

    But...

    Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns for the win. Every. Single. Time.
