Beeruser- If you want to hear an interesting tribute to Soundgarden, pick up Johnny Cash’s last CD. Not only does he do a great cover of “Rusty Cage” but also a song written by Beck (“Rowboat”). ---

PapaBear, you surprise me.I would definitely listen to Cash, but I’m getting to the point(age) where I don’t want to spend $13-16 for a CD. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-bands/11263.md?page=2)
