Seattle, United States (1984 – 1997)
Soundgarden was a seminal seattle rock band who helped to define the sound that came to be called grunge. Despite starting years earlier, and having a sound that more closely resembled Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin than their contemporaries, they are usually considered one of the ‘big four’ of the ’90s Seattle grunge bands, along with Alice in Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
History
The band was formed in 1984 by Chris Cornell (vocals, and originally drums) and Hiro Yamamoto (bass), to be joined later by Kim Thayil (guitar) and Scott Sundquist (drums). Thayil joined the band after moving to Seattle from illinois with Yamamoto and Bruce Pavitt, who would later start sub pop records. Scott Sundquist, who left in 1986 to concentrate more on his family, was replaced on drums by Matt Cameron. Yamamoto was replaced by Jason Everman on bass after the release of 1989’s Louder Than Love. Jason Everman was quickly replaced by Ben Shepherd, who remained with Soundgarden for the rest of its life-span.
Break-up
Soundgarden disbanded in 1997, following an aborted tour in support of their album Down on the Upside, as a result of increasing tensions within the group. Cornell went on to pursue a solo career, releasing a solo album, Euphoria Morning. He subsequently went on to form Audioslave with former Rage Against the Machine members Tom Morello, Tim Commerford and Brad Wilk, while Cameron subsequently joined Pearl Jam, replacing Jack Irons on drums.

Putting bands into different genres does lessen the individual uniqueness of the band. Grunge to me was definitely a scene that was just the mainstream version of what was post-hardcore. Musically, Soundgarden has a very distinct style completely differentiating themselves from the other "grunge" bands.

Imo, their first EP's (Screaming Life/Fopp) were slightly grunge, and along with Green River's ones have been a major influence on the so called grunge scene that was to come. For the rest, I pretty much agree.

I expect the masses to regurgitate what they've been spoonfed, I'm searching for those few who will see through the bull and see them for what they really are - not grunge . . . and Alliban you're right image wise they are grunge, when I said style earlier I meant their musical style (poor choice of words in retrospect). . . musically, both their song writing and overall creativity is leaps and bounds above your average run of the mill grunge band

Yep me being one, grunge is not just about the music. It's about the style, the attitude and the fans. Soundgarden are grunge, face it.

Unfortunately for you, my good sir, an enormous lump of people are not going to agree with you.

facepalm all you want, people only refer to Soundgarden as grunge because other people have and they don't know any better, they've been incorrectly given that tag because of the city they came out of and people lumped them in with the grunge movement, when in reality they were around and doing what they do way before any of that started, and their style is really not grungy at all
