Soundgarden

Soundgarden was a rock band that consisted of the musicians Kim Thayil, Hiro Yamamoto, and Chris Cornell. Formed in 1984, the band was later joined by Matt Cameron on the drums and Ben Shepard eventually took the place of Yamamoto as the bassist. They disbanded in 1997 but reformed in 2010. The band played together until the unfortunate passing of Chris Cornell in 2017.

Steely Dan

Steely Dan was conceived by Donald Fagen and Walter Becker back in 1972. They are well known for their combination of various genres, complex production processes, and cryptically ironic lyrics. They made it big during the early 70’s, though they broke up in 1981. Interestingly, the band has stopped touring 7 years before then when they decided to be a studio-only group. According to the Rolling Stone, they were “the perfect musical antiheroes for the Seventies.”
