and unplugged in nyc...lake of fire and where did you sleep last night? are incredible

after two days of solid listening, I have never heard a vocal performance like Say Hello 2 Heaven. it was high on my list before but it hit me today. so much emotion in that song, and the whole album. cornell's greatest moment without a doubt. the ending of that song blows my mind, when he hits the highest note... its just incredible.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
Totally agree on JDB, he has a fantastic voice, reminds me a lot of Freddy Mercury.
I think Cornell and Buckley, Thom Yorke, Vedder, and even Stanley could be put on the list of 'best voices in rock music history'. Put HIGH on the list.
I don't think Thom Yorke can sing for shit. He has a really bad voice. Neil Young and Bob Dylan have demonstrated less than conventional singing voices and, become part of their sound. Yorke just sounds terrible. On High And Dry and Street Spirit he puts it to good use, but Idioteque? :eek: Airbag :eek: No Surprises? :eek: I think you'd have to be insane to call him a good singer.

Oh my god, I can understand why you might not like his voice but for christ sake, you named three of the songs that best display his voice. Airbag is brilliant.

i love pearl jam and eddie vedder just as much as the next guy but to put him in the same breath as chris cornell is not right imo. Chris Cornell has the greatest voice in rock history (of course my opinion). As mentioned before, totd is unbelievable. some of the notes he reaches are simply stunning, his range is unbelievable, and i get goosebumps listening to the last part of say hello 2 heaven. i also like to point to never the machine forever as a song that only chris cornell could sing.
I caught a flash of flash of your smile through the fog of a dream, I'll have a hell of a time I clearly see, I can't be by your side, see you when I sleep.

Yep, that's why it kind of makes me laugh when you get people saying, oh he aint as good as people like Robert Plant or Freddy Mercury. As much as I like both those artists, neither would have touched Say hello 2 heaven with such clarity and emotion. Particularly Plant who's upper register, whilst mighty impressive, could sound quite thin. Cornell's voice on the other hand, still sounded really rich and strong, which probably has to do with the fact he's a baritone hitting high notes, and not a tenor.
