I like almost everything Soundgarden did, but I'd suspect I'm in the minority here.
I am 100% with you ont his one. I loved this band.
Absoutely no idea why, as on paper this should be my least favorite band of all time. But there you have it.
I would vote for Pavement. They were great, then they turned to a turd.
Here's a super, super unpopular opinion: I really thought Yo La Tengo lost it with Summer Sun. I just did not like that album, at all.
THEN the last two records, which I didn't rush out and buy the day they were released, blew my mind again.
So they're excluded from the list.
TRAGICALLY HIP is my answer here.
