I was shocked and saddened like so many people when I heard of Chris Cornell's passing. Since then I've been listening to Soundgarden non-stop and it has reinforced that they are the pick of the bands from that era and that Cornell is probably the most talented singer/songwriter/musician in a scene/era brimming with fantastic bands, musicians and singers. His and Soundgarden's legacy will live on long after the rest of us have shuffled offstage for good.

As a teenager I would say often "I want my hair to look like Chris Cornell's in the movie Singles".
