Top 10 Best Songs by Audioslave

An untouchable masterpiece and the supergroup's absolute calling card. Driven by a hushed, hypnotic bassline from Tim Commerford, Chris Cornell sings about a lonely man on his deathbed waiting to be reunited with his loved ones in the afterlife. Tom Morello delivers one of the most remarkable solos of his career, using a Whammy pedal and delay to make his guitar sound like a singing bird or synthesizer. Cornell's fragile yet gigantic vocals are guaranteed to give you goosebumps.

The explosive opening statement of their debut album. Morello's muted, pulsing guitar sounds like an approaching attack helicopter. When Brad Wilk's drums and Cornell's primal scream kick in, a devastating earthquake of pure hard-rock energy follows. Named after the legendary Apache chief who refused to surrender.

An inspiring, timeless ballad about authenticity, loss and self-worth from the album Out of Exile. Opening with a warm acoustic guitar and soft drums, Cornell sings with deep wisdom: 'To be yourself is all that you can do.' A comforting anthem that has strengthened millions of people through hard times.

A majestic, wide-open road song full of melancholy. Cornell sings with poetic pride about refusing to be defined by someone else ('I am not your rolling wheels, I am the highway'). Morello's slow, atmospheric guitar chords give the song a cinematic grandeur reminiscent of Led Zeppelin at their best.

Heavy funk-rock driven by a lumbering, down-tuned riff. Cornell sings from the perspective of Frankenstein's monster asking his creator why he was brought to life if existence is so painful. The raw, fluttering wails at the end are among Cornell's most striking vocal moments.

A bouncy, almost acoustic pop-rock track about seeking distraction from painful memories. The relaxed melody and sweeping chorus earned the band a Grammy nomination and showed their versatility.

A dark, brooding track full of heavy grooves and anger over emotional betrayal. Morello's razor-sharp solo and Cornell's raw howls in the finale are among the heaviest passages on their debut.

Made famous by the iconic nighttime coyote scene in Michael Mann's Collateral. The slow, menacing build-up erupts into a crushing emotional release in which Cornell shows why he was one of the greatest rock singers of all time.

A slab of pure sonic adrenaline. Driven by a rousing shuffle beat and Morello's innovative guitar effects, Cornell paints an apocalyptic vision full of fire and rebellion.

From their final album Revelations. A swampy, swinging funk-rocker full of retro swagger and an irresistible groove. Audioslave combined virtuosity, bluesy heaviness and a golden voice in an unforgettable supergroup.
