My Thoughts On The Song/Chart: Soundgarden's most famous song, and one Harmonix got in their first "Rock Band" Game, this 90s classic is a powerful one musically, instrumentally and vocal-wise.
R.I.P. Chris Cornell who was the only one who could have provided such a haunting and distinct vocal performance on a song of this kind.

From the very first few notes, I felt like I'd been hit by a thunderbolt. I was just absolutely stunned. What in the world is this? I get goosebumps thinking about it now.
