""This recognition means so much as it not only celebrates the extraordinary body of work that Chris created with his band - songs born from his soul, his imagination, and relentless dedication; it honors Soundgarden's profound effect on music that helped create a whole new genre - grunge - with the depth of Chris' writing and his creative vision at its core. ... It reminds us that Chris's spirit lives on - in every song, every lyric, and every soul his music continues to touch.""
