The Profile

American rock band formed in Seattle in 1984, central to the 1990s grunge scene; best-known for albums such as Superunknown and Badmotorfinger and for Chris Cornell's distinctive voice.

Formed in Seattle in 1984. Core members associated in reviews and public records include Chris Cornell (vocals), Kim Thayil (guitar) and Matt Cameron (drums); Ben Shepherd is the widely cited bassist from the band's later classic lineup. The band broke up in 1997, reunited in 2010, and ceased with Chris Cornell's death in 2017.

A collection of DeBaser reviews focused on Soundgarden's albums and live releases. Reviewers are nostalgic about the 90s peak, praise Superunknown and Badmotorfinger, and debate later reunions. Many pieces mix admiration for the band's sonic inventiveness with critical notes on later work.
