SUPERANKNOWN
















Grup: Soundgarden.
Any: 1994.     
Formació: Chris Cornell, Kim Tayhil, Ben Shepherd i Matt Cameron.   
Àlbum d’estudi anterior: Badmotorfinger (1991).
Àlbum d’estudi posterior: Down on the upside (1996).  
El millor: el període estel·lar de la banda grunge.
El pitjor: treball una mica eclipsat per altres obres de l’època.

Soundgarden, el grup de Seattle encapçalat pel ja desaparegut cantant Chris Cornell, va ser la primera formació grunge en aconseguir l’èxit, encara que posteriorment la banda quedaria una mica relegada a un segon pla pel trio Nirvana i el quintet Pearl Jam. L’àlbum “Superanknown” va representar el moment àlgid del quartet, que avui és recordada com una de les grans obres d’aquella època de la música rock, juntament amb treballs com “Nevermind”, de Nirvana; “Ten”, de Pearl Jam, o “Every Good boy deserves fudge”, de Mudhoney.  El disc analitzat va ser ràpidament número u a la llista nord-americana de Billboard, va obtenir un gran èxit en diversos estats, va ser nomenat als premis Grammy i va extreure cinc singles: “Spoonman”, “The day i tried to live”, “My wave”, “Black hole sun” i “Fell on black days”.  L’àlbum, que també conté pistes com “Let me drown”, que obre el disc, o l’excel·lent “4th of july”, es va veure influenciat pel rock dur de la dècada dels 70, per exemple de Led Zeppelin, si bé també hi té lloc la melodia, i va deixar enrere les connotacions punk dels seus inicis per fer emergir factors psicodèlics i experimentals.

PABLO ALBORÁN












Lloc de naixement: Màlaga (Andalusia).
Dècades: 10.
Gèneres: pop, cobla i flamenc
Principal àlbum: Pablo Alborán (2011).
El millor: artista revelació de l’any 2011.
El pitjor: encara molt per fer.

El malagueny Pablo Alborán es va convertir en la gran revelació de la música popular espanyola l’any 2011, quan el seu àlbum inicial, de títol homònim, va ascendir directament al número u del rànquing. Posteriorment, l’artista andalús va gravar el disc en directe “En acústico”, va guanyar un premi Goya per “Palmeras en la nieve”, va triomfar a Portugal i el seu èxit es va estendre per la resta d’Europa i el continent americà, on va rebre quatre nominacions dels Grammy llatins pel seu primer treball.

AUDIOSLAVE
















Lloc de fundació: Seattle (Estats Units).
Formació: Chris Cornell (veu), Tom Morello (guitarra), Tim Commerford (baix) i Brad Wilk (bateria).
Dècades: 00 i 10.
Gèneres: grunge, rock dur i rock alternatiu.            
Principal àlbum: Out of exile (2005).
Solistes que origina: Chris Cornell.
El millor: la reunió de grans talents.
El pitjor: les divergències.

Quan Zach de la Rocha va abandonar Rage against the Machine, Tom Morello, Tim Commerford i Brad Wilk van decidir obrir un parèntesi i dissoldre la banda per formar el supergrup Audioslave, amb l’exlíder de la formació grunge Soundgarden Chris Cornell com a cantant i frontman. El nou conjunt, que va aconseguir assolir una identitat pròpia, va triomfar amb l’àlbum “Out of exile”, però la separació no va trigar en arribar a causa de les diferències entre els membres.
