@ Wilytank--- this is much more logical since both bands are very similar in the sence they are both known to be very eclectic, and hard to pinhole to one spesific gener. It is also well known that both band hell god standards and they stick out of the branch becouse they write good songs, and are backed by a drummer who is much more technicaly skilled that gives the bands a certain creative boost. it is also based on two lead guitarist, Cornell -Thayll in Soundgarden and HInds - Kellhier in Mastodon. also Soundgarden have certain influence on sludge metal, which leads them to be influential on Mastodons roots (not as clear as Melvins and Neurosis but it is ther) -------------

| I really love both bands, however I have been listening to Soundgarden for longer, so the sentimental value sort of puts me at a bias. |

Definitely Mastadon! Sound Garden are cool but there is no comparison really. Even their names don't compare. Mastadon all the way. ------------- You can also talk about Metal with me here: http://metalforum.com" rel="nofollow - http://metalforum.com ! ;) x |

| As much as I like everything Mastodon has put out so far, none of their albums really grab me like Badmotorfinger and Superunknown. Mastodon has the better discography, Soundgarden has the better peak. I'll go with Soundgarden. |

Don't really like many Soundgarden tracks although I have heard all their albums so Mastodon was an easy choice as I own all their albums on vinyl

"Soundgarden vs Mastodon" ?!
LOL. Soundgarden is awesome, but they fell into the predictable output category long ago, in my opinion. Mastodon, hands-down! ------------- www.withinareverie.blogspot.com soundcloud.com/withinareverie facebook.com/withinareverie |

i am actually surprised the votes are so close. not surprised in regard to the the fact that they are both great bands (great rock bands), but Mastodon are waaaayy better artists in my opinion. I FREAKIN' LOVE MASTODON. but....I maintain that my opinion in this poll is OBjective. ------------- www.withinareverie.blogspot.com soundcloud.com/withinareverie facebook.com/withinareverie |

Sorry to spam this thread, but Mastodon's last 3 albums were the SH**!!!! and their other albums were good too, imo. Let's take that into account. I love Soundgarden, but the last album they had that was solid all the way through was Superunknown, in my opinion. They had some more good tunes after it, but not a super solid album all the way through, like Mastodon. Anybody else love "The Hunter"? The song "the sparrow" is like m**hf****n heav-as* Pink FLoyd! Awwwwwhhhh B'jeah! also, I am drunk but my sentiments are fo' ril. ------------- www.withinareverie.blogspot.com soundcloud.com/withinareverie facebook.com/withinareverie |

| Mastodon is actually a pretty important band for me in the fact that Leviathan was I believe the first metal album I owned, it's the album that hooked me on the genre. |

Soundgarden easily. Soundgarden's first 4 albums are all masterpieces, Mastodon only has one masterpiece. And that's Blood Mountain.

You're right, they made four albums that are better than Crack the Skye. (Though I do really like Crack the Skye, don't get me wrong)Also, I don't think it was completely fair for me to say Mastodon has only one masterpiece. Both Blood Mountain and Leviathan are modern sludge classics.
