Let me start today’s WW off by saying that I have a whole new respect for this band after we tried to play this song this past weekend on Rock Band.

You see Black Hole Sun, comes from SoundGarden, one of the grandfathers of grunge after having formed their band back in 1984.  However it would take the likes of fellow Seattle bands Nirvana and Pearl Jam, before the garden would hit it big.  Through their tenure, five studio albums were released but most people, (myself included) really only remember the fourth album that today’s song comes off of.  

“Black Hole Sun won’t you come, and wash away the rain.  Black hole sun won’t you come, won’t you come?”
