We are to name only one? Or several? Well, let me start with Soundgarden. Forming around 1986 and calling it quits in 1997, along the course of their career, they redefined the many aspects of rock music. Helping to finally to "drive the last nail into the coffin of glam rock" with their release "Badmotofinger" in 1989/90, they helped to usher in a whole new load of bands, inadvertantly paving the way to launch the grunge era and the "seattle sound" while none of them quite knew what they were doing like Soundgarden...not even close.

Just to mention the bands mentioned thus far:
Bands like Creed today owe their allegiance to Soundgarden, especially guitar-wise. Listen closely and you will see Mark Tremonti's obvious influence from Chris Cornell and Kim Thayil's guitar work.

Tool is actually a seperate story. They are not directly related to Soundgarden's sound in terms of mood except that their album "Undertow" and parts of "Aenima" seem to be heavily grunge influenced rhythmically, but at the same time dont fall within this genre.

_RED_ stuff
