    This is a really tough one. I think I should definitely, definitely say Soundgarden. They’re absolutely more influential and – to my limited perception – have stood the test of time a lot better. I even own two of their albums. But… try as I might, I just don’t really want to listen to them. I know, I know, Black Hole Sum is an amazing track. I just haven’t really connected to anything else.

    Machine Head, on the other hand, were the voice of the future circa 1997. I actually saw them in Norwich. I’ve only heard their debut and can only name Davidian and Brick as tracks. But they are bloody good songs, those two, and for a few short months they had something going. So I’m going to go (incorrectly) with them

      Absolutely fine reasoning! Although I ask you to listen to both bands with fresh ears 🙂 just to give them both recognition 🙂

    No disrespect to Machine Head, but Soundgarden wins by a mile. Not only is their musicianship and songwriting more concise, but they were fronted by one of the all-time greatest vocalists and lyricists in the history of Rock music.
