This week we’re discussing every album by Audioslave. If for some reason you haven’t heard of these guys, it’s Rage Against the Machine but with Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell on vocals instead of Zack de la Rocha.

Plus, Tom Morello doing his wacky pedal stuff.

This week we’re discussing the only album by grunge supergroup Temple of the Dog. As a tribute to Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood, Chris Cornell recruited Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, as well as almost every member of Pearl Jam (Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, and Mike McCready).

This week we’re discussing the almighty Soundgarden. Although they are technically considered pioneers of grunge, these guys transcended genres and were some of the most brilliant songwriters to ever gain massive mainstream success. The suicide of frontman Chris Cornell in 2017 put a tragic end to their successful reunion, in addition to breaking Mike’s heart for a legit 2 years. This is a great episode, everyone.
Closing track: “4th of July” from Superunknown (1994)
