I can't help it you guys don't get the thread
It CANT be anything before Superunknown. No way! Michael Beinhorn is on record as to the extent to which Cornell wanted to bring in his beloved Beatles influences on that album, and that influence stuck around until the end. Anything before that album ignores one of Cornell’s two biggest influences (the other being Sabbath), and presumes that those last three albums were not as integral to their success, which is obviously false.
For a SG pick, you need:
-Sabbath influence
-Beatles influence
-Quiet/loud dynamics
-Parallel chord movement (just trust me)
-Some of Matt’s tom work
The Day I Tried To Live is a FINE choice!
But you are missing the intense temp changes and time signatures i think...
Otherwise Day I tried to live is pretty good.

This is a fair point! Maybe it’s Pretty Noose? Or Spoonman?

I haven't read the whole thread but is there a reason we're not nominating Black Hole Sun?
It checks pretty much every box here.

I think I personally was avoiding it because I thought it was too obvious or some other nonsense. Typical overthinking.
It's really the best answer though.

I know we're trying to avoid hits for some reason but isn't it definitely Interstate Love Song?
