I've come back around on Soundgarden and enjoy it as much or more than I did when I was a kid and first into them ~'92-'96. Definitely as much or more Sabbath there musically than LZ, I feel like the Zepp really comes in w/ Cornell's voice. Also a noticeable dark gothy/post-punk aspect with the pre-LTL records.
Never really cared for Tool. The videos were cool, I guess?

12This right here. Zep was part of the mix, for sure. “Get on the Snake” cribs the riff from “Misty Mountain Hop,” though everything except the riff is different. But there’s also Sabbath there, and Bauhaus, and Butthole Surfers.tallchris wrote: Wed Oct 27, 2021 12:55 pm I feel like the Zepp really comes in w/ Cornell's voice.

13They did a great live show of Zep covers with Jimmy Page, but they were playing Zep songs, so...no. Doing the Crowes repertoire isn't Zepplin-esque

14I listened to both bands A LOT in the mid nineties.
I don't care for them nowadays, but every couple of years or so I give Badmotorfinger or DOTU a spin.
So it's Soundgarden.

15I'll concede that the band sounded good with Page, but the vocals still kinda sucked. I remember a lot of their early work sounded like LZ-styled hard rock fried with faux-hippie.
We're headed for social anarchy when people start pissing on bookstores.

Neither of them did the Led Zeppelin signature, horrid mix of Tolkien and the goofy innuendo novelty song subgenre of the blues, lyrically. Neither of them mixed careful composition with acid rock abandon, instrumentally. Neither of them has a horrible caricature creature singing - you want Patton-era Faith No More for that.
"lol, listen to op 'music' and you'll understand"....

17Tool reminds me of a bunch of dudes that would have a huge collection of cat skeletons to hang their huge rosery collections off of while they try on leather pants in front of underaged girls smoking cloves. Soundgarden seem like dudes that just want to show underaged girls smoking cloves the new carpet they put in their van or maybe how tall their new bong is.

18I was never a big Soundgarden fan but I enjoyed them some back when I had a cool haircut. Anyone who says Chris Cornell wasn’t a great rock singer is full of shit.
Tool is unlistenable.
I love LZ and I don’t see a helluva lot of connection here, but Soundgarden wins by any measure.

19It's Soundgarden for me. Like a lot of teens in the mid-90's, I got on board when 'Spoonman' and 'Black Hole Sun' got huge. I even bought a Superunknown t-shirt that glowed in the dark! I still like the deeper cuts on that album - Limo Wreck, Mailman, the title track - and I don't need to hear 'Black Hole Sun' again for a while.
I never got into Tool.

"Whatever happened to that album?"
"I broke it, remember? I threw it against the wall and it like, shattered."

20Dude, the title track on Superunknown IS Misty Mountain Hop. FWIW, My Wave is the best song KISS never wrote.Wood Goblin wrote: Wed Oct 27, 2021 1:50 pmThis right here.
