With the sudden death of Chris Cornell comes grief for those who grew up in the grunge era of the late 1980s and early '90s. These music videos can attest to the legacy he left behind.

1. "Black Hole Sun"

In a way, "Black Hole Sun" was one of the songs that introduced Cornell's voice to many. It was part Soundgarden's breakthrough album, 1994's "Superunknown," and was even nominated for a Grammy for Best Rock Song.

2. "The Day I Tried To Live"

Also part of "Superunknown," "The Day I Tried To Live" has been described by music website Stereogum as the "quintessential example of almost everything that made Soundgarden great and unique." Part of that, of course, is Cornell's "great vocal melodies."

3. "Hunger Strike"

Three years prior to the release of "Superunknown," Cornell teamed up with Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder and formed Temple Of The Dog. The band's heartfelt song "Hunger Strike" was first in an list by Billboard celebrating Cornell's voice.

4. "Blow Up the Outside World"

"Blow Up the Outside World" is Cornell at his best, according to Consequence of Sound.

5. "Rusty Cage"

Cornell's high, metal-indebted wails take center stage in this pulsating track from Soundgarden's "Badmotorfinger."

6. "Like A Stone"

Cornell lent his powerful vocals to Rage Against the Machine after the band's vocalist left, forming Audioslave. He was central in making "Like A Stone" one of the most successful alternative tracks of the 2000s.

7. "Nearly Forgot My Broken Heart"

In 2015, Cornell proved that he can still hit the high notes with ease. His enduring presence in the rock scene makes his sudden death Wednesday night all the more depressing.
