Greatest Vocalist

[Dryden]

Cornell is still awesome to this day.

Cornell still writes great songs and sounds fantastic on his studio releases, but I don't think his voice is the same as it used to be. Every live/bootleg Audioslave album I've listened to has been terrible.

James Taylor
Elton John
Paul Simon
Deb Talan
Eva Cassidy
Nina Simone
Kate Rusby

I'm intrigued by Colin Meloy's voice, but I wouldn't say that he's the greatest vocalist.

Who the fuck is Savage Garden?

And better yet, why do you even know about them?

Elton John has an outstanding voice.

I've always been very impressed with Mariah Carey's chops, er, lungs, er, whatever.

Bono
Steve Perry
Mike Ness makes you BELIEVE his songs
The dude from Lamb of God is a hell of a frontman for a metal band, although I wouldn't call him a great vocalist.

She is a great vocalist though, whether or not you like her songs.

Plus, she's easy on the eyes.

Always? Even before she had some work done?

Say it ain't so, Bill! Say it ain't so!

Totally agree on all 3 actually. It is just sad that Layne had to die so young, although it was his own dumbass fault. Cornell is still awesome to this day.

Agreed, Alice in Chains last cd came out in 96 or so and he was so sick they never even toured fro it. He had a couple side projects after that and a few shows here and there but mostly for the last 6 years of his life he was slowly dying away. Most think, I know I use to, that he died rightaround the time of AiCs last cd but he was still around 5 or 6 years just to strung out to make any music. His voice is amazing him and Maynard are two of the best.

Bono is my favorite vocalist.
