Is anyone a big fan of Mad season or Temple of the Dog? Have you heard the new/old Mad Season tracks? I love both, but Mad Season is my favourite. What do you think?

Heh. I forgot about this old thing.

Sorry, I was really going for the Big 4. These are all good, though.

Imma go with Burt Cobain and Eddie Better.

It was impossible to include in the survey someone more modern?

I'm not surprised to see Layne and Chris battling it out neck and neck on this list. Probably two of the best vocalists of that period in music most definitely. If this were a battle of who wrote better lyrics though, Layne would win by a landslide.

But by personal choice, and he wasn't on the list but I do understand that maybe this person wasn't even thought of, but that too I get due to the band he's from. Gavin Rossdale of Bush. He's my favorite actual 'grunge' vocalist. I've always liked how his voice sounded. It's not as unique as Chris Cornell, but it's also different enough to be one of a kind, because I've heard no other that sounds like Gavin...though, it is a fair argument that Gavin sort of took influence from Kurt Cobain.

Why more modern? Grunge is a 90's scene. Unless you count post-grunge, which is NOT grunge.
