Episode 70: Soundgarden

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.

Closing track: “4th of July” from Superunknown (1994)
