soundarden is a graet band with a unique and original sound, they are influenced by led zeppelin, black sabath and PINK FLOYD. in his last three albums they develop a progressive way of make music, using many different time signatures riffs , using diferent kinds of guitar tunings , guitarist kim thayil make an exellent "athmospherical use of the guitar" that at times he can make it sound as a synth only with basic effects ,other point is that matt cameron -the drummer- works with geddy lee solo album.
albums i recomended to hear: down on the upside superunknow.
bye! |

No! Great band, even really quite original sometimes, but nothing whatsoever to do with prog!

Surely you must be kidding. Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath aren't
prog, and there's no Floyd influence in their music whatsoever.
They're a good band, but in absolutely no way are they related to prog. |

What are you......on DOPE????? You can explain it any way you like it,they aren't prog and never will be And Cameron playing on Lee's solo cd isn't much of an argument.It's a good cd,but more hard rock than prog. -------------  |

Soundgarden are a great band, and some songs from Superunknown and Down on the upside are sufficiently complex ... but they're not prog. Actually, I wonder if Chris Cornell - Euphoria Morning could be included. That album is a real gem - wonderful mellow music, not at all like Soundgarden. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

That's interesting, wasn't Cornell involved with someone from a prog band at some point? My memory may be playing tricks on me, of course.

Their last two album started to evolve beyond grunge ... but they never got complex enough to be called prog. But songs like Spoonman could easily qualify as Prog Metal, and Applebite might be called Post Rock ... but it's simply not enough. ------------- https://awesomeprog.com/release-polls/pa" rel="nofollow - Release Polls Listened to:

OK Mariah Carey is prog, if you say she isn't you must be prejudiced against pop music.

Although ironically enough ... the Soundgarden stuff I've heard isn't too different from the King's X stuff I've heard (and there were a few people championing their inclusion) ... personally, based on what I've heard (which I admit is a minority of each group's output) I would describe neither as being even close to progressive rock ------------- "Death to Utopia!

| I think they were very progressive, but what some folks need to realise is that progressive dosent always equal prog if you know what i mean, progressive music and prog are not the same, if they were, that would make stravinsky more prog than soundgarden, if anybody is really worthy of the archives, its the beatles, they should make the archives before the doors, zeppelin and especialy soundgarden, not only because they had several prog elements in their later albums(especialy sgt peppers and the white album)but because they also played a role in progs creation as well, IMO sgt pepper was a prog album anyway you look at it, that dosent mean the beatles themselves are a prog band but the point is they made a prog album, zeppelin had houses of the holy and the doors had soft parade, those 3 bands at least made 1 prog album, soundgarden havent, they may have made a couple of prog songs or whatever but they never made an overall progressive rock album...anyway im not saying the beatles should be added, just that i would rather see them added before any other "kinda" or "almost" prog band. |

Yeah I know what you're saying. I'm probably the biggest King's X fan on this site, but I have never, and would never, push for their inclusion. As far as Soundgarden and KX being similar in some respect, I absolutely agree. Heck, many of the better Seattle bands name King's X as a primary influence, what with the psychedelic vibe and the dropped-D riffage. I know Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam have name-dropped the mighty KX on occasion, and it wouldn't surprise me if Soundgarden had too. |

Wow, way to go guys. Just ridicule this person for requesting Soundgarden, very welcoming.  ,
no I don't think they are prog, in fact I think they were more
influenced by Black Sabbath and The Stooges. I don't think
they're influenced by Pink Floyd either. I still think Chris
Cornell has one of the best voices in music and that Badmotorfinger and
Superunknown are great records.

Great piece of music,and great band.Kim is an incredible guitar player .He has a style of his own.Propably the best band of what they call Grunge.I hate labels but since we're on PROGarchives it would be a little difficult to put a band with Zeppelin and Mc5 influences here. |
