Saw Sondgarden open for GNR in the early 90's and they were atrocious live.
History has been kind to Soundgarden, but there may not be a band that sold out more than that particular foursome. I know people like to point the finger at Nirvana because of their major label affiliations, but Nirvana still sounded like an alternative rock band even towards the end.
On the other hand, Down on the Upside is one of the most uninspired, pedestrian releases you could ever conceive of from a band that at one point was considered one of the best, if not the best, in the country.
Kim Thayil likes to be a dick who claims that they weren't really influence by Black Sabbath aside from the utilization of drop-D tuning, but I think most fans would agree that Soundgarden was at their best when they teetered on that heavy metal sound and label.

I'm with you guys on the opinions about Nirvana. I never was a fan. MTV popularized them but I never thought they did anything to earn that popularity.

Damn. I can listen to DOTUS, Badmotorfinger or Superunknown on loop. I think all three of them are great.
My vote is for Soundgarden.
