Soundgarden was a seminal seattlerock band who helped to define the sound that came to be called grunge. Despite starting years earlier, and having a sound that sooner resembled Black Sabbath or Deep Purple than their contemporaries, they are usually considered one of the 'big four' of the '90s Seattle grunge bands, along with Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Pearl Jam. The band was formed in 1984 by Chris Cornell(vocals, and originally on drums) and (bass), to be joined later by Kim Thayil(guitar) and Matt Cameron(drums). Thayil joined the band after moving to Seattle from illinoiswith Yamamoto and Bruce Pavitt, who would later start sub pop records. Yamamoto was replaced by Ben Shepherdon bass after the release of 1989's Louder Than Love.

Mailman Lyrics
Soundgarden
Hello dont you know me
Im the dirt beneath your feet
The most important fool you forgot to see
Ive seen how you give it
Now I want to receive
I know that you would do the same for me
I know Im headed for the bottom
But Im riding you all the way
For all of your kisses turned to spit in my face
For all that reminds me which is my place
For all of the times when you made me disappear
This time Im sure you will know that Im here
I know Im headed for the bottom
But Im riding you all the way
My place was beneath you but now Im above
And now I send you a message of love
A simple reminder of what you wont see
A future so holy without me
I know Im headed for the bottom
But Im riding you all the way
Music: cameron; lyrics: cornell
