Man, some of the bands listed in here are my all-time favs, specifically Soundgarden and Rage Against the Machine.
When Cornell came over to front the remaining members and formed Audioslave I never thought it would work. Yet, "Cochise" is quite possibly one of my favorite tunes, especially the intro...good stuff.
I saw Rage and Soundgarden in concert. Rage in, like, '96 or '97 at Starwood and Soundgarden in '96 at Municipal.
'96 Soundgarden is still the best concert I've ever been to, and the loudest. My ears were ringing for two days afterwards.
Oh...and the most popular band I don't like: KISS.
