All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

CHRIS CORNELL RIP
"Seeking a Friend For The End of the World"
I'm Gonna Break My Rusty Cage and Run
I've Got An Idea of Something We Could Do With a Gun
The problem with modern rock music-- and this extends to '90s "Grunge" rock-- is that "artists" thought you could be "extreme" or be a "shredder," and this, somehow, would be enough. No, it's not. Cornell had a interesting voice, but it's not enough to emote. First you have to write good songs. Nirvana wrote a total of about 7. Soundgarden is instantly forgettable.

Did you listen to the first song in this set?
ReplyDeleteIt's a GREAT song.
I do agree that, for the most part, Chris Cornell was not a great songwriter.
But I think he wrote some great songs:
Preaching the End of the World
Black Hole Sun
Fell on Black Days
Times of Trouble
Hunger Strike
Cochise
And a lot of his other work was very, very good.
I think you don't understand the music.
