* CoverVersion: He performed a cover of "Billie Jean" in ''Carry On'', and many others live, even leading to the posthumous CoverAlbum ''No One Sings Like You Anymore, Vol. 1''.

* ''Scream'' (2009); a collaboration between Cornell and Timbaland in an ill-fated attempt to put Cornell on the pop and dance chart. Was panned heavily by critics and fans, but not necessarily Cornell himself.
