Number 16
Audioslave
"Audioslave"
Released: November 19th 2002
Key Tracks: "Cochise" / "Show Me How to Live" / "I Am the Highway"
There seems to be a bit of a supergroup pattern emerging here, but let's face it, when the music is this good, who cares if the guys have been in bands before?
Audioslave was Rage Against The Machine with Soundgarden's Chris Cornell on the vocals. It may sound like a bizarre combination on paper, but on record, it just worked. "Cochise", the perfect choice of lead single was as rocking as they come, and through the album, they hit some beautiful ballads, all the while Tom Morello's distinctive guitar shining through.
"Audioslave" was a great album, and two more good albums followed before the inevitable split. Great musicians, great songs, great record.
