Oh sure, it coulda been under the POLLa colored sky, or hands POLL over the peasant's daughter or something, but I'm nothing if not a blunt instrument.

Some would say it was all downhill from here... we'll have to do an albums poll after UltramegaOK and find out...

half of these songs are CLASSIC. But it has to be Full On Kevin's Mom
A shame that this poll wont get the same number of votes/posts as the other polls.

I bet LJ hasn't heard the magnificence of Louder Than Love or Ultra Mega OK

Hands All Over

yes it was all downhill from here and tbh it wasn't that far to fall to begin with

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

shame, it seems hardly anyone knows old Soundgarden albums.

TS: best heavy pop act since zeppelin vs that "grunge" band that did "black hole sun"

― butt-rock miyagi (rogermexico.), Sunday, 12 April 2009 17:03 (seventeen years ago)

and the 1st album is the most "grunge" of all their albums yet no-one knows it these days apart from doom metal fans. These albums deserve deluxe remaster jobs like Pearl Jam - Ten is getting.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 12 April 2009 17:15 (seventeen years ago)

Ultramega OK has long been on my "albums to get" list; Louder than Love, not so much, heard it was the worst of their stuff; had a few near-misses, but after being slightly disappointed by BMF, decided not to go out of my way to look for it...

― jagged-electronically mäandernden underbody (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 12 April 2009 18:02 (seventeen years ago)

this thread is causing me to reconsider, though...

― jagged-electronically mäandernden underbody (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 12 April 2009 18:03 (seventeen years ago)

"Ugly Truth"

― Alex in NYC, Sunday, 12 April 2009 18:30 (seventeen years ago)

Definitely reconsider. The only really shitty/embarrassing track on this album is Get On The Snake. The rest is pummeling and awesome and not at all like your typical nails-in-the-brain Terry Date production.

― MacDara, Sunday, 12 April 2009 19:39 (seventeen years ago)

Get On The Snake is great!

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 12 April 2009 19:41 (seventeen years ago)

Up until their last album, this was seen as their weakest, but nowadays some see it as the last good soundgarden, and everyone else realises that there are some of their best songs on here. I personally think BMF is the best then superunknown and Ultramega OK are better as they are more consistent, but I love love love listening to live bootlegs from this time, with the band playing tracks from both albums.
Soundgarden have kinda been forgotten outside of doom metal circles havent they? Even then they dont get the love you might expect for the 1st 2 albums.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 12 April 2009 19:45 (seventeen years ago)

They get dismissed as "oh yeah they were a grunge band" in a way that the melvins dont.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 12 April 2009 19:46 (seventeen years ago)

right...i blame that on "black hole sun"...nut youre right, that's totally unfair...

― jagged-electronically mäandernden underbody (Drugs A. Money), Sunday, 12 April 2009 19:48 (seventeen years ago)

nut = but

i kinda get the feeling audioslave didnt help (tho it never harmed RATM)

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 12 April 2009 19:53 (seventeen years ago)

I love love love listening to live bootlegs from this time, with the band playing tracks from both albums.

I actually have a really good quality bootleg of a show they did at the Whiskey in 1990 or thereabouts, which I think was actually an official recording as there's a track from the same show (or series of shows, may not have been a single gig) that wound up on one of the Blow Up The Outside World singles. Shame it never saw an official release because it's very good -- considering they were notoriously bad live in their later years.

― MacDara, Sunday, 12 April 2009 21:51 (seventeen years ago)

I have 2 boots from 1990 (I think they might be the same gig but 1 has 2 extra tracks). Not sure where it's from.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Sunday, 12 April 2009 22:26 (seventeen years ago)

Possibly their lolseattlest moment...

Big Dumb Sex 0 ???????

two posts for "gun" but only one vote?

― butt-rock miyagi (rogermexico.), Monday, 13 April 2009 00:34 (seventeen years ago)

weird. I wonder if the ilx downtime cancelled some votes?

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 13 April 2009 12:43 (seventeen years ago)

ultramegapoll ok?

The 1990 Whiskey show was released on VHS and promo CD as "Louder Than Live"
VHS seems cheap and easy to get. CD not so much.

― Fox Force Five Punchline (sexyDancer), Wednesday, 15 April 2009 14:53 (seventeen years ago)

It was also released on LP. and there is actually a one-song track difference between the two (I think one format has "Earache My Eye" and on the other it is swapped out for some other track.)
