    Makes me think of a blessing and curse of Andy Wood's suicide..cause there would be no Pearl Jam if not for his OD.

    Kurt is #1 for the same reason Hendrix is #1 on guitar player lists.

    Dead.

    As much as I love PJ...I have to say that I think Cornell takes this one. He has amazing vocals. Just listen to "Reach Down".

    I agree with the Kurt comment, but Hendrix would have always been #1. That's obvious. He was on a different planet.

    Weiland ahead of Staley is just stupid. First thing I thought of too. And any list that involves grunge or early 90's music is going to have cobain/nirvana at the top, just the way it is, they influenced so much that sometime they get credit for being things they never claimed to be. Like Kurt Cobain being so high on Rolling Stones top guitarist list when Cobain himself had said many times that he wasn't a great guitar player.

    I know we all love eddie here, I have to say though when it comes to "grunge" music Kurt has the better "grunge" voice than Eddie Vedder. Doesn't make Eddie less of a man or anything.

    Dead at the height of their prime is more accurate. ;)

    What I want to know is how on earth did Neil Young make it onto a list of any type of great singer at all? That is just silly.
    Another measure for me is, whose voice has been most emulated over the years? Layne's. Hands down-that's who everyone copies-Eddie says it, Henry Rollins says it, and I say it. So it must be true.
    Although-Kurt's voice is the kind that no one would attempt to try and mimic. Except Courtney, of course.
    Women that I think deserved some recognition here are Shirley Manson and Dolores O'Riordan.

    Gavin Rossdale from Bush's voice is just a lamer, British version of Kurt's voice.

    yeah, a different planet back in the 60s

    It's 2008 and there's been countless that have come after him who have done more and done it better

    Being first doesn't automatically make you the best.
