    I hung out with Layne one evening and we drove to the Des Moines 7-11 together and sat in the car talking philosophy for a long while. Interesting guy.

    Love Layne. I love Kurt, but the best live frontman from that era was Scott Weiland.

    I'm on my broke phone, but google stp down live 1999. If you aren't feeling that, I don't know what to tell you.

    Cornell is the best voice of the 90's, period. If you disagree you pick the 7-11 and I'll be there.

    Agree. Best voice of the 80s is a tougher call. I'd probably go Axle but some say Steve Perry. I'm sure there are plenty of hairband noyds who would nominate there* own guy.

    Edit: The right answer is probably Michael. I'm sure Spooge agrees.

    Cornell vs. the Staley/Cantrell harmonies is a toss up for me. Both are absolutely iconic in their own ways.

    Cornell is great, but the rest of the band is subpar to any other 90's grunge type band.

    They used to be my favorite. Not anymore though. I still like them better than Pearl Jam. Pearl Jam and their fans are awful.

    I think the harmonies make AIC's vocals the best of the decade, but as an individual voice Cornell >>> all

    Fuck all y'all for not including Heart (ILTC Bellevue "Seattle").

    Especially Nancy, not chunky Ann though she was fairly doable back in the day.

    If we're including heart we had better include Queensryche.

    A wild guess bit pretty sure Heart has sold more albums than anyone in the north west
