SOUNDGARDEN
With their pioneering fusion of punk, metal and experimental edge, Soundgarden kicked off the Seattle-based grunge movement, breaking ground for Nirvana and Pearl Jam, among others. The first of the genre’s bands on a major label, they achieved global success with the aggressive Badmotorfinger and multiplatinum, emotionally deep Superunknown. Their reputation as an untouchable live act with compelling, radio-friendly albums broadened the possibilities of modern rock.
