I listen to Badmotorfinger almost every day.

That album has a place in my heart. Everyone talks about Superunknown and forgets about BMF.

I think BMF is every bit as good if not better.

Chris Cornell and David Draiman (Disturbed) are the best rock singers today, when vocal competency seems to be rare.

One thing I miss about about the 70's, you couldn't throw a rock without hitting a good singer, and usually they played another instrument. And harmonies! Everybody did harmonies. Not anymore.

I saw Cornell's solo tour in '99. I was front row and about a foot from him. One of the best concerts I have ever seen. General admission, so I got there four hours early.

Louder Than Love was another good one by Soundgarden.

Cornell could sing "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and make it sound great!

Don't forget about guitar solos!

I guess it's easier to just bang out power chords than to actully master the art of the guitar and put a little soul into it.
