What came first Soundgarden or Temple of the Dog?
Temple of the Dog was released on Ap, and initially sold 70,000 copies. By mid-1992, grunge had already exploded — Soundgarden had released Badmotorfinger and Pearl Jam blew up with their debut Ten.
Did Temple of the Dog come before Pearl Jam?
The album received positive reviews upon its release, but didn’t chart until the summer of 1992, when Pearl Jam — a band Ament, Gossard, Vedder, McCready, and drummer Dave Krusen formed in late 1990 after the completion of the Temple of the Dog album — had a Top Ten album with their debut record, Ten.
