[Chromatose]

cornell, easy

 

[dorian gray]

hahaha AWESOME thread. What traits are we dicussing here?
Ima gonna go with Mr. Staley although I think Cornell is technically the better singer. Vedder is ho-hum. AiC has kicked my dick in since I first heard Man in the Box in '90 or so. Dirt and Badmotorfinger are two of the best albums OF ALL TIME so I dunno. I'm gonna go drink vodka now. Should I mix it with something or what?

Should I mix it with something or what?

w/ Ill Intentions.

 

[dorian gray]

wtf?

 

[Guthrum]

Hmm, that's a tough choice between Cornell and Staley. I think I'll go with Cornell.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I went w/ Staley even though Cornell is the better vocalist of the two. Hoegaarden>AIC>Soundgarden

 

[J.]

Cornell, because he's the best singer of the three. And Soundgarden never released a bad album.

Staley was pretty good. His voice gets annoying after a while, which is why I always preferred Jar of FLies and Sap. Dirt is good, but everything else is horrible, like Pearl Jam's entire discography and Eddie Vedder's clench-teeth vocal delivery.

Nirvana had a few shining moments on Nevermind, but other than that, awful.

 

[Reign in Acai]

I found Jar of Flies to be atrocious, while Dirt is damn good.

Nirvana is ghastly music. I wish Cobain would've took his life a few years earlier. Sorry Nad, I say that with love.

All in all, I'm not a very big fan of the genre. Hell I probably only own 4 albums collectively from the bunch.

 

[J.]

AiC's "softer" music was always much more enjoyable for me. Jar of Flies has I Stay Away, Don't Follow, and their best song in No Excuses, while Sap has Got Me Wrong and Am I Inside.

Dirt is good, for sure, but it suffers from filler killer. I love Angry Chair...woah.

 

[dorian gray]

The title track of Dirt is awesome...as is everything else on that album.

 

[J.]

junkhead, godsmack, hate to feel, sickman=filler
rooster, them bones, dam that river, angry chair, would?=killer

 

[General Zod]

Cornell. Just an outstanding vocalist. That said, Layne is amazing in his own right.

Zod

 

[Krilons Resa]

CORNELL by a fucking LANDSLIDE

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Staley, since his voice was the soundtrack to an angst-filled 9th grade year on the football team. Cornell is disqualified due to his involvemnet with Audioslave

 

[Dev]

I hate Cornell. His solo album is the worst piece of shit I've ever heard. That or any Audioslave album. But Soundgarden is ok I'll admit.

I'd go with Staley but in fact I don't *really* like any.

 

[Necromunchkin]

Cornell. And Thayil was the best guitarist out of that whole scene.

 

[Thanatopsis123]

While they've all produced some gems, they've also all produced a lot of stuff that was somewhere between mediocre and shit. The same can certainly be said of Nirvana but I think Nirvana happened to produce more gems among their crap (maybe not by percent, but overall).

 

[dill_the_devil]

I find Cornell's voice somewhat grating, and AIC never put a foot wrong as far as I was concerned, so I went with Staley.

 

[NAD]

Staley. I mean, come on.

Jerry Cantrell is my favorite musician from that whole scene among many greats, and nobody can deny how incredibly innovative The Zig Zag Man was/is.
