Soundgarden  

As one of the first bands to record for the legendary Sub Pop record label, Soundgarden is generally regarded as one of the founding fathers of grunge, even though much of their work was of a far more rock/metallic nature than the likes of a Pearl Jam or a Mudhoney, or even a Nirvana. From a metallic standpoint, their peak was 1991's Badmotorfinger, with the later albums such as Superunknown (featuring their biggest hit single, "Black Hole Sun") showing a more alternative side to the band. The band parted ways amicably in April of 1997 to pursue other interests. Vocalist Chris Cornell has remained in the public eye since then, joining up with several guys from Rage Against The Machine in Audioslave and more recently pursuing a solo career.

Inevitably, the band announced a reformation in early 2010.
