Bono or Eddie Vedder - Who's the better vocalist?

[Takes Two To Tango]

Both are fantastic singers in their own unique ways.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Here's both bands singing the song One.

Mr. Vedder for me.

Mr. Vedder for me.

I think he'll win this, but we'll see.

Bono has a better more powerful voice, at least a young Bono did,,,,,,Shame U2 fell apart and with POP and then slid downhill to the point that I had to search how to remove their shitty songs from my I-Tunes.......

Vedder is a better song writer and has a unique way of putting emotion in his songs/singing but is often unintelligble in songs.....I like Vedder acoustic crap a lot and his guitar guy at the party cover of Trouble by Cat Stevens is fantastic-



and while I'm on about Cat Stevens, if you don't like the songs Trouble, Wild World and Miles From Nowhere, I want you banned from the dog.

But as a pure "vocalist" it is Bono

I agree 1984-1994 Bono was at his peak prime and his voice was divine.

My vote always goes to anyone that is not bono.

 

[ssBaldy]

Vedder will win this because people don't like U2. Bono is the better singer.

Came to say the exact same thing, except about U2 in general. Always going to pick whatever doesn't involve U2.

When comparing both in their prime it's Vedder and it isn't even close. That said Eddie's voice is shot now.

From what I remember, Bono had a decent voice, but was nothing special. Nowadays I couldn't tell you at all.

 

[Captain Tenneal]

Eddie Vedder ftw

 

[RoastBeast]

Vedder for sure. The way he changes the start of the 2nd verse here in Black is awesome.

I voted for Bono because he's got an outstanding singing voice, I think that's hard to deny. However he seems such a weirdo creepy vile goblin to me, where as Vedder seems so cool. Vedder's voice is also great, but not quite as good as the pretentious leprechaun's

From what you remember? I posted videos of Bono in his prime singing. Check them out.

My memory serves me just fine.

I just don't bother listening to U2 much because I don't like them. Especially anything made after the early 90s

I however couldn't tell you if he still sounds good.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Would pick killing my entire family over 30 seconds of U2 or Pearl Jam. That being said, I'd pick Vedder I guess.

That's fair, sorry about the previous post. I didn't mean to sound forceful like that.

Tuff choice actually. They are at the same level basically, but probably Bono has a greater tonal extension in his voice. Vedder Is rockier of course, but has less range than Bono.
