• Article recently became GA so its good, QPQ also already present. I prefer ALT1 as it focuses more on the radio, the hook is spread across several sentences but all cited (some are offline source but thats fine). Good to go I think Nyanardsan (talk) 00:27, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
  • @Sammi Brie: washington magazine isn't willing to say ALT1 for soundgarden in their own voice, and even the quote says "at least locally"? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:13, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
    • @Theleekycauldron: try [1] p63. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 00:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
      • @Sammi Brie: I'd propose a new hook to match that source, but i think I'll just go with ALT0 instead :) theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/her) 00:44, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
