Grunge's best vocalist?

Staley, done.

Cornell and anyone who says otherwise doesn't know what a vocalist is.

Cornell and there’s no comparison. One of the best vocalists across any genre.

Staley was awesome, but not on the same level.

I agree, it was absolutely Staley

Have you seen staley on unplugged?

Cobain GOAT

The entire group of Seattle grunge bands had incredible vocalist. It wouldn’t be fair to claim just one because, while all being called “grunge” actually had different sounds between them. Each band was unique and the lead singer fit each band perfectly. The one exception was Cornell. His range was just above the rest where he has the grunge roots, but the ability to switch bands/sounds and still nail it. If you had to pick one it’s Chris.

The other odd ball in the group is Cobain. His songwriting and melodic structure made him so unique. Many would claim he is probably the lesser of the true “vocalist.”He had his own sound that worked perfect for his band. But you take his voice and plug it in any other band and it’s a disaster. But at the same time, you can’t have anyone else but Kurt sing Nirvana.

Weiland would have to be up there too

It's funny how the internet has turned on Nirvana and Cobain over the years. Wall to wall fake news.

-He was murdered
-Nirvana was playing to empty venues by the time he died
-Cobain couldn't sing
-He was never the voice of a generation
-He was jealous because he knew Grohl's band was going to be bigger than Nirvana
-The news didn't cover his death till several days after he was found
-His distaste for fame was bullshite mythology and he actually loved it

...On and on. We'll get all this turned around to the way we want it. It just takes a few decades of repeating disinformation till it becomes the truth.
