Hunger Strike

Grunge Rock
This 1991 grunge duet united Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell with a young Eddie Vedder in the one-off band Temple of the Dog. “Hunger Strike” spotlights Cornell’s soaring vocals and Vedder’s deep harmonies on the memorable “I’m going hungry” refrain. Initially under the radar, it became a rock radio staple as Pearl Jam and Soundgarden’s fame grew, symbolizing Seattle’s early ’90s musical brotherhood.
