    based mostly on the fact that Kurt was a way bigger figure in his band than the others were in thiers, I don't know how much SG was Chris but I would assume that the other guys had a say, and yeah Layne was the singer in Jerry Cantrells band. Also In Utero is the best album any of them were on,.

    do we have to start again ;p

    That's a bullshit comment. Layne may not have written all the words, but if it weren't for Layne, AIC would not be anything. And to top it off, Layne wrote some of their best songs. Angry Chair, Hate To Feel, Man In The Box...so, it was Jerry's band as much as Layne's...
    Is it so wrong to think that love can keep us safe?

    ha ha I thought that when I saw your comment, then I saw it was you and decided we wasted enough time yesterday on this,

    vocally - Staley, Vedder, Cornell >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>cobain

    lyrically - Vedder, Staley, Cornell >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> cobain

    stage presence - Staley (disagree, I dont care. I cant look away when watching AIC unplugged), Vedder, Cornell >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Cobain

    Basically I find Cobain very overrated. I love Cornell but not as much as Eddie or Layne.

    Hey, I love Kurt, but how could you possibly put him above Cornell AND Staley?

    hmmm good question? vocally Cobain is the weakest, but I like his lyrics. I change it, I was too quick with my answer. ;) I listen more to Soundgarden and AIC, so this is a better list.

    Lanegan
    Vedder
    Cornell
    Staley
    Cobain

    No love for Lanegan? Come on, people. He should at least be on the list.

    I agree with this one. Vedders the best and cornell is talented but I find him annoying.

    I love his words too but frankly Stanley and especially Cornell are way better lyricists than he was. In any case I don't see putting him last as voting against him in this kind of thing.

    Cornell and Staley are technically the best singers of the four, followed by Vedder with Cobain last. Cobain was a genius of a songwriter so would probably get the top position in that category followed by Cornell and Ed. Ed is the best lyrcist of the lot followed by Cornell and Staley.

    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    I put him over Cornell and Staley too. I did this because I love Nirvana, moderatly like Alice in Chains and don't like Soundgarden

    Cornell is probably at the bottom of the list for lyrics for me. Not that he's bad but I think he's a bit too cryptic for me and I can't relate :p.
