Soundgarden adalah salah satu dari empat Godfather of Grunge, selain Nirvana, Pearl Jam, dan Alice In Chains, namun mereka sendiri menyangkal keterkaitan mereka dengan musik grunge. Namun demikian, penggemar mereka tetap memasukan mereka ke dalam genre ini.

Album Soundgarden yang paling sukses adalah Superunknown dengan hits seperti Black Hole Sun, Spoonman, dan Fell on Black Days.

Kekuatan utama Soundgarden terletak pada garukan sang gitaris, Kim Thayil, dan vokalis Chris Cornell. Cornell pernah memperkuat band Audioslave bersama para bekas anggota Rage Against The Machine. Musik Soundgarden diibaratkan sebagai kelahiran kembali Led Zeppelin.
