I like their vocals. I'm pretty sure Cornell's voice is objectively god-tier
Eli Garcia
Chris Cornell is technically the best out of the 4 grunge vocalists
Noah Gutierrez
Because they're a nogirlsallowedtreehouse.
All grungebands ban a certain group from their treehouse, they Are moral majorettee in dsguyse, run !!!!! Sjwuickleeee!!!!!!!
Ian Ward
Cornell's vocals are incredible.
Hudson Powell
Because Cornell has actual talent as well as a good vocal range and you're probably used to listening to people who don't know how to sing properly and think anyone who can sing in a high register sounds cheesy.
Jeremiah Murphy
>vocal range =/= talent
Adam Cruz
Cornell's vocals take some getting used to, even I still find them irritating at some points. But eventually you just kinda learn to appreciate his incredible vocal range.
Layne was still better.
Luke White
Layne was better at nothing.
Jackson Morgan
Layne was better at heroin
Logan Barnes
he sounds like chad from nickleback. that really generic "american idol rock" style
Nathan Hughes

What
Parker Bell
>he sounds like chad from nickleback.
Yeah the guy with the soaring voice who sings in an upper register sounds like the guy who grunts and has almost no vocal range
Nolan Adams
Dude you're fucking retarded.
Ryan Hernandez
here's your (you)
Landon Nguyen
>that demo of Beyond the Wheel
Holy shit I wish they kept that tuning for the album version
Connor Mitchell
At least try
Brandon Green
Just listen to his performance on Slaves and Bulldozers.
Josiah Mitchell
Confirmed for never listening to more than 3 soundgarden songs
Jaxon Murphy
Makes Eddie Vedder sound boring as ever
Isaiah Stewart
Layne has wider range
Carson Walker
Not even true. What the hell? Chris Cornell has a 4 octave range. Also Layne Staley sings through his nose, so he loses points either way.
Justin Morales
>Layne Staley sings through his nose
kek maybe he's trying to get rid of the coke stuck in his nose

Staley > Cobain > Cornell >>>>> Vedder
Anthony Rodriguez
I just hate how they always get compared to each other, when Chris Cornell is one of the most technically proficient rock singers of all time, and Layne Staley is...Layne Staley...Not that I don't like Layne, its just such a lopsided comparison that it pisses me off that its used so frequently.
Brayden Long
made me laf.
Nathaniel Young
Staley > Vedder > Cornell for me though my preference doesn't involve technicalities or whatsoever, it's just how I like their timbre.
Cobain's just a budget Frank Black most of the time.
Ryder Adams
Hey that would be a good point if it was true. But it's not, so why the fuck did you post it?
Elijah King
>Cobain's just a budget Frank Black most of the time.
When it comes to songwriting sure. But Cobain has nothing in common with Black other than they both scream a lot. You can tell Cobain took a lot of singing influence from the Meat Puppets guy.
Colton Perry
>rating some assfuckface who didn't even come from Seattle
Reminder grunge is Seattle only. Reminder Mark Arm is the true fourth grunge vocalist. Reminder Curdt Kobain aka edgy emo faggot was a fucking dickwad who didn't even play grunge music.
Jacob Price
Because it's grunge
Brody Rodriguez
>Layne Staley
>A2 to G6
>Chris Cornell
>A2 to G#5
Joseph Price
Not sure for songwriting, they are on different spectrums but the voice are similar.
Aiden King
Grunge isn't a real genre anyway. It was a joke label for Seattle bands that the media picked up and ran with. Any of the Seattle bands could have been labeled with another already existing genre term. Also Nirvana were more in line with "grunge" than Alice in Chains or Pearl Jam.
Dominic Barnes
Sorry but Frank Black and Kurt Cobain are nothing alike vocally. Kurt's voice is way too raspy and has a completely different tone.
Kurt DID ape Black's songwriting style though and is clearly very influenced by The Pixies. Even then though Nirvana sound almost nothing like The Pixies.
Juan Hill
Didn't Kurt say Smells Like Teen Spirit was his attempt to rip off The Pixies?
Adrian Ward
Grunge is 2 hard rock bands, a metal band, a punk band, and a bunch of ripoffs of the aforementioned hard rock bands
Ryan Miller
>Layne Staley G6
First of all these are falsetto notes which hardly even count. Also it was from some jokey hair metal song they did in their early days.
Evan Powell
Yes.
Josiah Gutierrez
Layne would never be able to just belt out Jesus Christ pose.
Brody Edwards
Right. Those vocal range things will take a random live performance where the vocalist shrieks at the top of their lungs at the end of a song and will count that as part of their range.
I wish they would separate their natural singing range from their falsetto range.
Isaiah Smith
Both AIC and Soundgarden are metal though
Isaiah Garcia
>>Layne Staley
>>A2 to G6
1. That's a ridiculous falsetto, there's nothing good to be said about singing that high.
2. It's probably wrong.
Jacob Morgan
>thinking Grunge is an actual genre
Grow up
Aiden Long
Neither Soundgarden or AIC are metal though.
Hudson Hughes
This is the baitiest bait that ever baited me. OP is a sad pervert.
Brandon Hernandez
Nathaniel Fisher
>Neither Soundgarden or AIC are metal though.
If you're respoding to my comment about the "jokey hair metal song" AIC started off as a typical Glam/Hair Metal band in the 80s. Also they're more Metal than anything else. Unless you want to use the Grunge label.

not really
Grayson Diaz
>not really
Well then why fuck did you respond to my comment? That was the only thing in it that mentioned them being metal.
Joseph Powell
>taking site that thinks Dream Theater is more metal than Converge seriously
Nathan Fisher
relax bud. he just wanted some extra (you)
William Wood
>>actually cites encyclopaedia metallum
>lol you almost had me for a second there
Well they wouldn't list them if they weren't metal. Think about it
Adrian Smith
Mark Lanegan was the actual best grunge vocalist.
