    I think Cornell's voice is the most overrated in the entire scene. It's a high-pitched, heavy metal wail barely a cut above that chick from Sleater Kinney's. Lanegan has more soul and emotion in his voice than Cornell could ever pro-tool into his ;)

    Fair enough! I think Cornell has a great voice but, your are right about the emotion. Cornell has nothing on Lanegan!

    Yeah, my opinion on Cornell's voice has always been a minority one. I hear time and again that he's great and that technically, he's the best singer in terms of technique or whatever. But I've never cared for his voice. I like a few Soundgarden and TotD songs in spite of his vocals, not because of them. Whereas Mad Season or the Gutter Twins... those vocals make the albums!
