Side One/Side B with Dave and SteveSITTING HERE LIKE UNINVITED COMPANY, WALLOWING IN OUR OWN OBSCENITIES, SHARING CIGARETTES WITH NEGATIVITY: Steve brings in an album by one of his all time favorites, an album that helped put grunge on the map, BADMOTORFINGER (1991) by SOUNDGARDENSend us a textBadmotorfinger is the third studio album by American rock band Soundgarden, released on October 8, 1991, through A&M Records.[5] Soundgarden began the recording sessions for the album with new bassist Ben Shepherd in the spring of 1991. The album maintained the band's heavy metal sound, while featuring an increased focus on songwriting compared to the band's previous releases. AllMusic considered the album's music to be "surprisingly cerebral and arty"; alternative tunings and odd time signatures were present on several of the album's songs, and lyrics were intended to be ambiguous and evocative.2025-01-271h 27
