Ed’s MedBox:

“Superunknown” by Soundgarden. Like many others, the teenaged medschoolmedic was very sad to hear of the passing of Chris Cornell, lead singer of bands such as Soundgarden and Audioslave. Soundgarden was one of those bands that I grew up listening to often, and would hear on the radio and think back fondly to simpler days. Superunknown was, ironically Soundgarden’s most popular record. The album can be found here.
