Soundgarden vs Audioslave

Poll

Which of the two do you prefer?

There appears to be many a fan of Chris Cornell (legend). His talent is undescribable (maybe I'm going too far.) (I don't think it's too far :p:)

So I want to know which of the two people prefer, Soundgarden or Audioslave. I like both (of course), but I think I'd have to say I prefer Soundgarden to Audioslave. They have a rockier feel to them I think, whereas some of Audioslave's songs feel a little slow, as if they are lacking a bit of 'ooomph', for lak of a better word.

So what are people's thoughts?

I bet n u c l e a r b u d d h a will be first to reply

Also, did anyone see his acoustic version of Black Hole Sun (available on YouTube [sorry no link :p:])? It is pretty good. But not as good as the original. :smile:

I have a feeling we've had a battle thread with these two before but I can't be bothered to look for it so I ain't complaining. :p:

Audioslave win. Soundgarden were good but did Soundgarden have the legend that is Tom Morello? No. :proud:

Of course, RATM come above them both.

It wasn't edited. I knew it. Only cos we share a love for CC and you were here and I was here and you were here in the music forum, sharing our love of CC...:p:and each other

And they will not. Watch. This. Space.

I mean it, this very space (or that one up there) very carefully. ;yes;

I saw that not-so-subliminal message. :wink:

Here is a fascinating fact about Chris Cornell that you may or may not have known: he is afraid of sleeves. Proof can be found in almost any Audioslave or Soundgarden video.

Ok, ok, so he wore sleeves sometimes... :p:

Anyways, bed for me. Night nuke :hugs: :ciao:

Farewell. :smile: I'll be disappointed if I don't see you parading around the place tomorrow.

I will keep an eye on this thread for you. Be afraid. Be very afraid. :biggrin:

Don't you be bringing that in here. #zomg#

Wait... it's your own thread. You do what you like. I'll just sit here and watch Audioslave get all the votes. :proud:
One vote for soundgarden... but then another for RATM being better than both.
Audioslave and RATM suck... Soundgarden had Jesus Christ Pose.
I can't decide...
I'm going to be the person at RATM at Coachella with the "Be Yourself- Audioslave" sign. I kid you not.

Actually, I'm probably not going to Coachella because I WOULD do something that stupid.

My unlearned vote is for Soundgarden though.

The thread you're referring to was mine :p: and it was Audioslave VS RATM, and apparently only I like Audioslave more, which is fine, so as good as Black Hole Sun is, Audioslave get's my vote, got some immense songs.
Even stevens at four apeice.

I disagree that Soundgarden only have good lyrics though. I think the music is top as well.

I don't particularly like either, but I marginally prefer Audioslave.

I'd honestly expected Audioslave to win this hands down. They're only one vote ahead. Insane.

Yeah, I must've been thinking about your threads, Decent_Jam.
Hands down? But their music isn't better. Maybe that's because I prefer the slightly 'grungier' style of Soundgarden, but I honestly think Soundgarden have made many a better track.
