    Vedder..Cobain.........Cornell.................Staley. Then of course that's kinda the way i think about the bands too.

    cornell's got the most overall talent, but he's too in too himself.
    vedder is a close second.
    staley's probably got the most interesting voice but then a bunch of mid 90s penis bands imitated it and sorta destroyed it's legacy.
    kurt was the most in touch with punk rock, so i dig his intentions the most.

    i kinda touched on this in another post, but like 6 years ago, all these bands were in my top 10, now i think soundgarden is the only one in the top 15. just dont really think they're all that special anymore.

    The only argument should be who will play drums

    Bring on AliceintheTempleofPearlGarden featuring Kurt Cobain

    1. Staley/ Vedder (I think Vedder has more overall talent, but Staley is my personal favorite)

    3. Cornell (listen to his Unplugged in Sweden show. Simply amazing.)






    4. Cobain (Huge drop from 3 to 4. I just can't relate to Cobain's music like I can the rest. Plus, I think he was the least talented of the group.)

    1. Cornell- No doubt about it, he has pipes from hell.

    2. Layne Staley/Jerry Cantrell- Their harmonies are absolutely heartwrenching.

    3. Ed Vedder- Especially on "Footsteps", his voice is drenched in soul gravy.

    4. Kurt Cobain- He had an original sound to his voice, but that's about all.
    I'll cut you in.

    Cornell was my introduction to the seattle scene so I have sentimental attachment to him and his projects. Some people don't like his cryptic lyrics but I can really relate to a lot of his stuff.
    Ed has amazing lyrics but his voice is sort of screechy sometimes. Haven't yet heard a lot of Alice in Chains. Citing Cobain as a lyrical genius has become a rock cliche' of late.

    whoever said scott weiland has got to be having a laugh. any 4 of those guys farts could out do his musical talent. he's a passable singer and i love purple but as far as i know, he dont write.

    For leaving lanegan off, i berate the original poster

    My list:

    Cornell: best technical singer and songwriter overall and level as a live performer with eddie (both good and bad respects) getting better as a lyricist, he has written some v accessible stuff as well as cryptic. (say hello to heaven and the whole totd thing, anyone?)

    also, the whole, he doesnt sing like its 1992 thing is getting really old, hes lost the top end of his range thats all. and the person who said hes too into himself-he's happier these days after beating alcohol addiction and depression, going through a divorce after longest relationship in his life,etc. sorry if you wanted him not to do that. you re confusing arrogance with contentment and confidence.

    vedder: I love his voice, his lyrics are better than Cornell's and he's level as performer. As songwriter and vocalist, Cornell outdoes him though. I wonder what solo efforts would be like...

    Cobain: Brilliant songwriter, adequate/chilling voice, wished he d realised his potential. the michael stipe collaboration would have been excellent. Great performer too. he is different to the other 3 though-nirvana had v little in common with other seattle bands soundwise after bleach. Its possibly unfaor to compare him.

    Staley: Good voice, better performer, not much of a songwriter but when he did write them, you wanted more. Gets extra points for Mad season and unplugged. that was the nuts.


    If id have included lanegan the man would be #2 behind cornell. Consistantly exciting and accurate performer, written very underated songs both with trees and solo. his voice is so good he can whore it out to people like greg dulli and josh homme. lyrics are poignant and varied too. He has this cool factor that the others dont-pretty inexplicable, anyone know what i mean?

    well thts my 2ps worth

    everyone has their greatness

    Cornell is the best vocalist ´´tecnically speaking´´ but the way he sing don´t like to many people as vedder or cobain does....

    Layney voice is more powerful,creepy and soulful than all the others...

    Cobain had a short range voice but the way he used it was great...

    And mr.vedder is my favorite of all of them...
