that works well, cos i dont care to read your explanation. though im curious what you think worked? you got me to admit ive never taken vocal lessons? congrats, you're spot on. as i said, i dont give a shit what cornell's technical ability is, his voice still sucks.

Yeah but all the newer pearl jam albums are great.. thats the difference

Yeah I watched Bob Dylan croak at me on a piano for 2 hours or so earlier this year and still loved it because the music is just THAT good.

I think Ed still sounds fucking incredible though (unlike Bob

).

I watched pinkpop 2000 yesterday.. any Binaural doubters would be converted after seeing that

Metallica has nothing on Soundgarden. Esp. Chris.

Ledbetterman10 · December 2006

i'm only kidding around. though I like Metallica better I think Soundgarden is real good too. i'm a big Superunknown fan but i'm not hardcore into them like a lot of people around here are

Euphoria Morning was fucking brilliant and "Wave Goodbye" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard (add onto that "Preaching the End.." and maybe "When I'm Down").

Lets not forget Pillow of Your Bones, awesome.:)

I really like his solo album. I like the first Audioslave album but I'd prefer either a solo album or a soundgarden reunion to what he is currently doing. I really hope his new solo album is good. I have heard there is a cover of billy jean on it....

And let me guess... "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" is beautiful too?

Just kidding with ya. I'm not a huge EM fan, that's all. No need for name-calling. You must have missed the post a couple scrolls down where I actually gave credit to the album where it was due.

Haha, as predicted this thread has turned into a total free for all for people insulting each others' musical tastes.

What I will say, is that Cornell has sold millions of albums with EVERY band he's been with, he is highly revered by other artists and critics and usually hits the top five in polls for best rock singers. Furthermore, he has sung many different styles of music through his career showing a great versatility in his voice. Everybody is entitled to their opinion, and I in no way think my opinion is more valid than anbody else's, but to say the guy 'sucks' or is 'talentless' is complete and utter bull shit. I wonder why people enter into such debate armed with the only defense of "well it sounds shit to me'. Seriously, have a go at singing along to something like Say hello to heaven, or Birth Ritual. You might hate both songs, but it takes an AMAZING amount of power, range, and control to sing in such a way. You know, I don't much care for opera music, but I wouldn't say 'Pavarotti sucks' - it would just make me sound like I have no idea what I'm talking about.

From where I'm sitting, it seems a lot of people can't differentiate between Chris Cornell the singer, Chris Cornell the songwriter and Chris Cornell the performer. Fair enough his vocal style might not be everybody's cup of tea, his songs might not do anything for you, or you may just find the guy 'smug' or 'arrogant' (as I've seen some people say in the past), but the fact remains, that in the most traditional translation of the word 'talent', at his peak he was virtually untouchable.

and i have stated repeatedly that i think he's a decent songwriter, and a decent person, that i have no idea what technical ability is or means, but that i cant stand the sound of his voice. where did i ever claim my opinion was fact?

If you have no idea what technical ability (in terms of singing) is, may I suggest you aren't best equipped to be passing judgement on somebody's ability to sing. For the record, I quite clearly stated in more than one post EXACTLY why people rate him as a singer (range/power/control), this was merely a rebuttal of the claim that he was overrated. As a technical singer (sorry if you don't understand that term) he is not overrated at all. If someone doesn't like his vocal tone, or songwriting abilities, that is a completely separate issue, and to that I would say, 'whatever butters your muffin'.

I dislike Chris Cornell
