I didn't particularly care for the grunge movement, but there was something special about Chris Cornell's voice. "Black Hole Sun" definitely got my attention. It's a song that you could hear a million times and find something new each time. I still don't get what it all means, if it means anything, it may mean nothing...but hit me like a wall. RIP.
*Black Hole Sun* facts
#1 song of 1994 on the Modern Rock Tracks Chart (despite a peak of #2)
#1 for seven weeks on the Mainstream Rock Chart
failed to hit Hot 100 only due to the stupid singles rule.
Reached #9 on AT40.
