Let's discuss Chris Cornell

I know he has (had) a very distinctive sound and not everyone is a huge fan of the grunge-era ballads.
That being said, I don't recall ever mourning another artist the way I did CC. He did it all: heavy rock and roll, harmonious melody, and a lot of passion. He really did it all.
His acoustic album, Songbook, is absolutely breathtaking.
This past Voodoo, Prophets of Rage absolutely killed it. I mean, they absolutely and utterly stole the weekend for my wife and I. Most of you probably know this, but Tom Morello and their drummer played "Like a Stone" leaving only the crowd to sing the song.
It was the most beautiful musical moment I've ever experienced. I've been to hundreds, yes hundreds, of concerts and I can't conceive of a situation that could top that.
I know that is a bit heavy on a Sunday night, so i apologize. What are some of your favorites?

His Zepplin cover Thank You.
PISSED when I heard he died. One of his acoustic shows was something I figured I'd get around to eventually.

Been a fan since a teenager when black hole sun came out.
His cover of Nothing compares 2 U on Sirius XM is probably one of my favorites.

I really like his Soundgarden days, especially Spoonman & Fell on Black Days

He was incredibly talented.
Spoonman is probably my favorite, with Blow up the Outside World a close second.

Oh, I am. Very memorable era in American music
Fell On Black Days realli highlighted his vocal prowess IMO, and is somewhat prophetic.

Temple of the Dog got a lot of love after his passing, and rightfully so: it was his best project.

He’s dead like all the other 90s hit artists.

The 90's were a very dark time for music. Grunge, sludgy music, goatees, plaid baggy shirts, beginnings of opiod problems ( heroin popularity revival), depressing lyrics ect..... Layne Staley, Cobain, Cornell and Andy Wood all fell victim to these things. I think music can conjure many emotions and these guys went to far to the darker side for too long....
The days of happy songs about pussy and cars ( a'la Van Halen) were all but over in the 90's, Cornell just lasted longer than most.

The One (I guess hybrid cover/mash-up) thing sticks with me as being particularly good.
I also like his cover of Nothing Compares 2 U.

Say Hello To Heaven with Temple of the Dog may be his best song vocals, in my opinion.
Posted on 4/9/18 at 8:17 am to CARCEMONT
Say Hello To Heaven, Reach Down, and Call Me a Dog are all awesome songs.

Cornell is my favorite singer and I'm still stunned that he's no longer with us. This new acoustic direction he was going in was fantastic (Songbook, Higher Truth + the tracks he wrote for 13 Hours/The Promise films).
As far as his voice, Temple of the Dog was his best work. That album is a thing of beauty. I also feel the first Audioslave album is underappreciated. Might be Cornell's second best album vocal-wise.

The tortured artist has been a thing for as long as art has been a thing.

The emotion he sang with put it over the top.

Celebrity or musician deaths normally dont bother me, but Bowie and CC absolutely did. And I didnt appreciate it at the time but Layne Staley was a huge loss.

"Call me a Dog," "Nothing Compares 2 U," and "Thank you" are all incredible (especially done acoustically).
I was listening to a different acoustic version of "cleaning my gun" and he basically says "a guy loses love of his life and possibly wants to take his life. Well, he's writing a song, is what he's doing." I thought it was eerily prophetic, since he wrote the song...

Shannon Hoon was the one that resonated with me. I just feel like he was one artist whose plight you could truly feel through his music.
