Definitely Soundgarden for me. I was never a huge fan of Rage's stuff. A bit too political for me. Some of Morello's guitar sounds sound gimmicky . The man can play though, I won't deny that.
Soundgarden was definitely more than the sum of its parts. Chris' voice does sound better on the earlier 'garden albums. I have a couple of rare tracks and I thought his voice was going to explode. Devastating stuff. I'd recommend listening to "Cold *****" the b side to "Spoonman". As for the rest of the band, well....
Matt Cameron, coming from a jazz backround and not being a real "metal " fan added a helluva lot to the bands sound. I mean, the guy was playing stuff in weird time signatures that I still have trouble tapping my foot to. They naturally leaned toward these twisted uncommon time signatures that really made him stand out from the standard "rock" drummer.
On one of their later tours he was dubbed "God's drummer".
Ben Shepherd is the only other bassist I admire apart from Paul Mccartney that wrote songs that stood up to or equalled anything that Chris or Kim Thayil ever wrote.
In short, these guys sound tracked the later part of my growing years. And I wouldn't replace them with anything else.
I miss them so, so much.
I defy you NOT to tap your foot to this song, this riff and this drumming. The guy who made this video has some special reasons for dedicating a video to it.

As a whole, I'd give the award to Soundgarden...HOWEVER, Audioslave's debut album was the best album from the 2 bands. I can't stand Rage Against The Machine, but for this one album, they pulled it together on an emotional scale with cornell (although i bet cornell wrote the entire album). Although their Out of Exile and Revelations sucked. Huge disappointment. Therefore, Soundgarden had Badmotorfinger and Superunknown, with more total good songs, so they get the edge.

Soundgarden. Audioslave was good, no doubt, but Soundgarden was better. And Chris Cornell was at the peak of his performance during that time

Soundgarden. Audioslave is good, but it's nothing more than a reinvented Rage Against the Machine. Soundgarden is classic, and always will be.

Never heard much by Soundgarden but Audioslave kick *** in my book. I don't think they're a reinvented R.A.T.M. May be the same musicians but sound totally different. Give someone who hadn't heard either band a cd by each one and i bet they couldn't tell they were listening to the same musos.

Did someone say Audioslave is a reinvented version of RATM? Clearly not.
Soundgarden for imprtance but Audioslave do have decent tracks. More middle of the road, if that makes sense.

i dont even think its a contest. soundgarden is better than audioslave. and by the way, tom morello has a distinct sound. if you listen to rage or audioslave, it wouldnt be difficult to make a connection.
