[kj] SOUNDGARDEN REUNION 2010

[Neil Perry]

Agree about Thayil and to an extent the Louder Than Love album
(coincidentally listened to it
the other day and after ripping 3 or 4 tracks, its gone to the secondhand
shop) but to me Soundgarden
were massively over-hyped. Saw 'em once and never bothered again.
I think they've seen FNM and others milking it and decided its their turn.
One reunion I can't get excited about.
