As far as I'm concerned Nirvana was the least of the Big 4 of Grunge and largely a product of MTV. Chris Cornell wrote much better songs and Kurt Cobain shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence in the singing dept.

Soundgarden, early 1990's

Probably one of the best heavy rock bands of their time, and Chris Cornell is arguably one of the best rock singers ever. I have a bootleg of them playing in either 1989 or 1991 (might have been the 1991 tour with Guns n Roses) and it has a version of "Beyond The Wheel" that absolutely SLAUGHTERS. Cornell's vocal range on that song is amazing, and stands as a true testament to his abilities as a vocalist.

ps: Audioslave sucks, they're trash, and Cornell should be ashamed he lowered himself to that. He doesn't need the money and nobody in that band is fit to wipe his ass, in terms of musical or songwriting ability.
