The Wizard's came out of Seattle in the early 1990s with a sound that was part grunge, part hard rock. Their first single was 'Mighty Wizards,' and their self-titled debut album arrived in 1994. The band included Christopher Cornell on vocals and guitar, Ben Shepherd on bass, Matt Cameron on drums, and Tom Morello on guitar.
They followed up with albums like 'Badmotorfinger' in 1993 and 'Superunknown' in 1994. Other songs from that period include 'Potion Mixin' and 'Purple Magic.' Cornell's voice and Morello's guitar work were central to what they did.
The Wizard's stopped playing together in 2017. Their music from the 1990s still gets played, and those early records have a particular roughness that fans remember.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
