Chris Cornell is one of the greatest rock singers of all time!
This guy is amazing. Unlike many rock singers that sound like they are always screaming, Cornell can sing his ass off. All his **** with Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, his solo and now with Audioslave amazes me. While the Audioslave songs aren't as good as the old stuff, his voice is still good. Tell me your thoughts on him!

Definitely. Audioslave is no Soundgarden but he can still sing his ass off.

yeah he's a great singer. very unique voice. also he's gotta be coming up on 40 by now?? looks wise dude is still killing it. he's aging like fine wine....
Great, great, great singer. Absolutely terrible lyricist.
i haven't heard but one song off the latest album, but there were a couple of well written songs on the first Audioslave album. but back on topic, while cornell is singing, he looks as though it's nothing to him. crazy. Reminds of that dude from Disturbed... that nonchalant "dude-i'm-not-even-trying" look.

Who would u guys say is a better singer? I'm not that too deep into the rock/grundge but his voice stood out to me. Cobain is still my fav because the of his lyrics and emotion but Cornell is a better singer.

Maynard James Keenan. whether you like Tool\APC or not.... vocally this dude is next level with his. haunting .... soothing ... intriguing .. erie all at the same time.... only way to describe his singing style. his vocals put me in a trance. word.
Aside from a few sub-par performances, his lyrics are almost always great. Nothing mindblowing, but still solid.
NAh. IF you listen to the lyrics alone, dude sucks. He gets an adequate feel because of his incredible voice but lyrically he's the worst of all major rock singers right now and was the worst of all the Seattle bands.
that one song, blackhole sun, the fukk was that about??? i forgot all the lyrics, except for the chorus. i remember that a friend of mine used to use that song for a debate in favor of hip-hop music; back then, i listened to it all, but he didn't - some friends of ours who had a band didn't like hip-hop music and bashed the lyrics; his arguement was that rappers were simply talking about what they saw and speculated "that muthfukka aint never seen no blackhole sun!!!!"
