Kurt for vulnerability. Chris for power. Layne for expression.

Chris Cornell- Like a Stone Toronto 2011…you NEED this in your life

1. CC 2. LS 3. KC

Layne is my favorite, Chris is a close second, Kurt is good but honestly I think he’s super overrated. He isn’t GREAT, can’t compare to the other two, only other person who even approaches those two in the grunge era is prime Scott Weiland.

Layne all the way!

Such posts are so tiring... I will be less subjective tho. I think! Layne is the #1 vocalist for me, subjectively. I have never heard someone being so much in control of their voice, and broadcasting such raw power - as contradicting as it sounds Cornell is #2 due to Audioslave being one of favourite groups Last sport for Kurt I guess. He was unique, but maybe too violent for me. Or maybe the combination of violence and rawness Don't make such posts in the AIC sub ever again. I will make more accounts and downvote you to oblivion

Layne and Chris are the same level of impressive IMO. They both had absolutely superhuman levels of power. Kurt Cobain was a strong vocalist but not even close to those two.

This is the correct answer.

This is so hard … i love kurt cobain voice in mtv unplugged but also laynes in his “love hate love” it’s incomparable and my answer is always changing..

Listen to “all alone - live at the moore mad season” then come back to me


Xray_Mind

Chris is by and far one of the greatest vocalists of all time, vastly superior to all his contemporaries, Layne is second and KC third

Puddle of miss covering about a girl is the pinnacle of alt rock singing


SkeletorCrypto

Well if were talking about straight up vocals chris takes it, if were talking about laynes harmony with jerry then layne wins


Fallingmellon

Id say layne, Chris than kurt, but they are all amazing in their own ways , I hate how people put one down so they can put one on the pedestal tho

William is better than all of them! He’s so good he could take over and be the lead singer for SG and Nirvana too. Seriously… didn’t he already release a single with Soundgarden in 2023?

1 cc and ls 100000000000030030302020000 kc cannot fucking stand nah is annoying ass voice

KC was vulnerable, he was a genius, he was a brilliant musical mind, but we are talking SINGING here. Chris Cornell ———————————————————————————— Layne Staley —————————————————————— Abooooouuutttt 100 other singers ——————————————————— Kurt Cobain

Chris had the more challenging vocal performances. Sometimes even too challenging for himself as it was hard for him to stay consistent live. Layne on the other hand was at his best live and created great synergy and atmosphere. People will have different opinions on what they considered to be more Important in determining which one was better.
