Layne Staley, for me. great character and range to his voice. just an amazing singer.
i'm sure i didn't include a bunch of awesome singers that you might feel belong in this poll, but i just wanted to know between these four.

For lyrics and song writing gotta go with Cobain

Kurt was an innovator, but I couldn't stand him live. Eddie got on my nerves with his lyrics in the later albums. Layne was actually a VERY close 2nd almost first, but on the albums if you kill Jerrys backups he isn't as full sounding as most people think. I was going to give him the rating for the Mad Season album. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Texas | | | I'm going with Staley for the simple fact that his vocals really complimented the music. Cornell's a close second and Vedder is meh. Cobain's vocals were as good as his guitar playing. |

to me, Layne Staley conveyed more emotion than the others. i think Cornell's got him in the belting department, but i enjoy Staley's belting more (whoa... weird sentence if taken out of context). when Staley belts, i really feel it, y'know?

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Jun 2006 Location: Tampa Bay, FL | | | I had to go with Cornell. Sheer vocal strength, range and dynamics I think he's got all that. Stayley's a close 2nd, the one thing he's got on Cornell is emotion. Kurt Cobain had a lot of emotion albeit sometimes poorly conveyed, and I don't think Ed Vedder even rates on this list other than the fact that he was in a grunge band.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Feb 2008 Location: York, UK | | | Kurt Cobain I suppose. I'm not really a fan of any of those guys.
I wish Chris Cornell had shot himself in the early '90s. Could've saved us from all that Audioslave garbage. |

I really despise the whole "underbite rock" vocals thing... I wish it were bands like the Young Fresh Fellows and the Fastbacks that made it big instead of the ones that ended up saturating the airwaves....
