Powerfully original, they were the first of their generation of Seattle bands to sign to a major label in 1989 and their work continued to evolve over the course of seven groundbreaking albums.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Cornell\u00a0<\/strong>has continually redefined his sound and vision. In 1990, side project<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Temple of the Dog<\/strong>\u00a0saw him experiment with a more soulful style alongside the future members of Pearl Jam. Later in the decade, his critically acclaimed solo album EUPHORIA MORNING combined lush melody and instrumentation with lyrics which spoke of alienation and despair. And as the millennium turned, he joined with three other musical pioneers from Rage Against the Machine to create supergroup<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Audioslave<\/strong>.
