Totes. And if we were talking about best vocal performance... that would probably get my vote. It would at least be in strong consideration.

we should probably figure that out - best vocal performance.

that would be my vote for cobain.

not sure about vedder and cornell.

for vedder maybe LROM from that VH1 honors thing in '06.

for cornell you could do a lot worse than Burden.

My issue with CC is that I never felt like he brought the same depth of feeling to his performances as pretty much everyone else here - the range eclipsed the heart. When he wasn't showing off (on moments like Season) it was there, but not there enough. He swings for the fences in Burden in My Hand, but I don't quite feel the pain and doubt and self-loathing that the others would have conveyed.

I think chris is equally emotional if not more vulnerable than eddie, but he does often express himself in more sardonic and sarcastic tones. I think chris is not as direct as eddie but they are both equally expressive.

Eddie was always my favorite. Scott was always a close second. Billy's voice worked for me about 75% of the time but the other 25% was like nails to chalkboard. Chris seems pretty obviously the "best" singer of the group with incredible range and power. Kurt never struck me as a great singer but he was perfect for what he did. Layne is super hit or miss for me.
