lol babyfat Cornell!

Thayil favors a Guild S-1 and a Les Paul Custom Lite, played through a 65-watt Music Man head and whatever speakers are available, preferably something resembling four 12-inch speaker cabinets.

Vocalist/rhythm player Chris Cornell uses a Les Paul Custom cherry sunburst, played through Mesa/Boogie amps.

Hunted Down!

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 20 April 2009 23:31 (seventeen years ago)

you gonna vote differently incase we're the only voters? ;)

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 20 April 2009 23:36 (seventeen years ago)

This is pretty much going to be the rogermexico/herman g. neuname tree fort, isn't it.

If Hunted Down is off the board, I'm leaning toward "Nothing To Say"...

― butt-rock miyagi (rogermexico.), Monday, 20 April 2009 23:40 (seventeen years ago)

Fopp might get the lurker/knows the original version vote, or will get bugger all.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 20 April 2009 23:42 (seventeen years ago)

i only know the 45 tracks which is a bit of an oversight. hunted down anyway

My Top 10 singles (and EPs) list from 1987, as published in the Boston Phoenix:

1. White Zombie Psycho Head Blowout
2. The Puddle Pop Lib
3. Poison "Talk Dirty To Me"
4. Poison "I Won't Forget You"
5. The Three Johns "Turn Up Those Downhearted Blues"
6. Halo Of Flies Garbage Rock
7. Debbie Gibson "Shake Your Love"
8. Soundgarden "Nothing To Say"/"Hunted Down"
9. Shonen Knife Pretty Little Baka Guy
10. Bon Jovi "Livin' On A Prayer."

Voting for "Nothing To Say" because I listed that one as the A-side. They never topped the single. Wish I still owned my copy. (Blue vinyl, I believe.)

― xhuxk, Monday, 20 April 2009 23:48 (seventeen years ago)

haha a four vote logjam!

― butt-rock miyagi (rogermexico.), Monday, 20 April 2009 23:51 (seventeen years ago)

I won't break the logjam because I went with "Hand Of God." Fopp is fun, but Screaming Life just cranks.

― EZ Snappin, Monday, 20 April 2009 23:56 (seventeen years ago)

looks like we have a winner unless theres some lurkers around.
xp

This album isn't even on Spotify so it's not going to get any votes from people hearing it there like happened with the other polls unfortunately.
And why won't people who like superunknown and down on the upside go back and check the albums before they were famous?

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 21 April 2009 10:03 (seventeen years ago)

lol actually it is on Spotify http://open.spotify.com/album/5x5RLZSeyPajY5sdCwyjxi but for some reason under green river but the actual tracks are labelled with the right soundgarden songs as being played by soundgarden. so LJ you can listen to it!

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 21 April 2009 10:13 (seventeen years ago)

More goodness. Hunted Down w/ Nothing To Say a close second.

Haven't listened in forever but I'm guessing the FOPPs haven't aged as well...

― Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 21 April 2009 17:53 (seventeen years ago)

Love love the goopy vox on Little Joe too.

Listening to this tonight!

― Hadrian VIII, Tuesday, 21 April 2009 17:55 (seventeen years ago)

"Swallow My Pride"! Got this on cd @ Wal-Mart for 2 bux back when they still had cut-out bins.

― The Wild Shirtless Lyrics of Mark Farner (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 21 April 2009 18:02 (seventeen years ago)

I need to get Fopp on vinyl since I have Scraming Life on vinyl. Though it would probably be cheaper to get the 2on1 cd.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 21 April 2009 20:25 (seventeen years ago)

b-b-but "Swallow My Pride" is a cover!

― butt-rock miyagi (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 21 April 2009 20:50 (seventeen years ago)

and so is Fopp!

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 22 April 2009 13:37 (seventeen years ago)

I like their version of "Swallow My Pride" more than Green River's.

― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 22 April 2009 14:06 (seventeen years ago)

^^ point

― Alex in NYC, Wednesday, 22 April 2009 14:10 (seventeen years ago)

The hand of God has got a ring about the size of Texas.

voted "Entering"

― Plunge Protection Team, Thursday, 23 April 2009 17:03 (seventeen years ago)

the opening to entering is awesome. But i could vote for anything on Screaming Life

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 April 2009 17:07 (seventeen years ago)

I'm voting Little Joe for nostalgia's sake if nothing else.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 April 2009 17:13 (seventeen years ago)

Seriously? I've been chagrinned by it for years.

iirc at the time that i was finding myself disappointed by their pre-Badmotorfinger releases i liked this one more than Ultramega or Louder...voted for "Swallow My Pride" just because it's the one that leapt into my head the most clearly.

― some dude, Thursday, 23 April 2009 17:20 (seventeen years ago)

because you know the green river original?

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 April 2009 17:26 (seventeen years ago)

nah i think i heard the SG version first, i still hear Cornell singing it in my head when i think of it

― some dude, Thursday, 23 April 2009 17:37 (seventeen years ago)

I hadn't heard the original either when I got Screaming Life.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 23 April 2009 17:55 (seventeen years ago)

The Fastbacks version was the first version I ever heard of the song, because I had bought Sub Pop 200 back in the day (to get the Soundgarden track of course!)
