Soundgarden

Soundgarden, the grunge gods from the rainy city of Seattle, burst onto the '90s rock scene like a sonic tempest. Formed in 1984, this quartet led by the powerhouse vocals of Chris Cornell didn't just create music; they crafted a thunderous tapestry of sound that defined the era. With hits like "Black Hole Sun" and "Spoonman," Soundgarden took the angst of grunge and turned it into anthems that resonated across the flannel-clad masses. Cornell's wailing vocals, Kim Thayil's guitar riffs, and the rhythm section's seismic grooves made Soundgarden the architects of a grunge revolution that echoed through the Seattle skyline. In the '90s jukebox, they're the ones who proved that even in the rain-soaked gloom, a sonic garden could bloom with raw, unapologetic rock.
