10 Great Albums That Came Out After The Band Split Up

Famed as one of the greatest vocalists in rock music history for his work with Soundgarden, Audioslave, Temple of the Dog and also as a solo act, music will surely never see a talent quite like Chris Cornell again.

Despite the fact Cornell formally entered the music industry in 1983, he was not credited with a major full album release until Soundgarden’s debut album, ‘Ultramega OK’, in 1988. Soundgarden would go on to record a further four full length studio albums throughout the 90’s, before Cornell finally released his first solo album in 1999. ‘Euphoria Morning’ performed well as an individual record, shifting over 75,000 copies within the first week of release. But, it paled in comparison to the success of Soundgarden’s albums. Cornell would put his solo work on the back burner at the turn of the millennium to focus on his new project, Audioslave, a hard rock supergroup formed with members of rap rock legends Rage Against the Machine. After Audioslave had brought out three highly successful and critically acclaimed records, Cornell returned to his solo endeavours in 2007.

In total, Chris Cornell now has five solo albums to his name, but the latest of these came out over three years after his unfortunate, gutwrenching suicide in 2017. ‘No One Sings Like You Anymore’ suddenly appeared on shelves in 2020 with no prior warning from Cornell’s record label or family estate. The ten cover songs included were recorded by Cornell in 2016 and according to his widow, Vicky Cornell, he couldn’t wait to release it. Even though the world now has the honour of witnessing this amazing album’s final form, Cornell himself sadly never got the same chance.
