Jeff Buckley or Chris Cornell - Who was the better vocalist?

[Hellowhosthat]

Hard for me to give too much credit to a one-hit wonder, especially when his one hit was a cover of someone else's song.

He was a good singer no doubt, but I have to give it to Cornell

Have you heard Grace? His singing is incredible throughout the album.


Although you'd have to say his dad beats them both.

 

[Nathan LaMontagne]

Its Cornell for me, taking nothing away from Buckley

 

[GearSolidMetal]

Cornell for me, but we all should agree Buckley is in Cornell's league.

 

[puppybird]

Cornell for me, but we all should agree Buckley is in Cornell's league.

That’s a nice way to put it

 

[Meatspin]

Cornell just because I listen to him more. RIP both of them

 

[Madmick]

Cornell. Can tell it's him from the very first note. I can't tell Buckley from any average American Idol contestant.

 

[lakersfan45]

Buckley. I love both. Also Mike Patton over both for me

 

[GergreG]

Certainly a better match up than Buckley v Cobain, as Cobain was a terrible singer. I say this having seen all three (Cornell/Cobain/Buckley) live... no pun intended.
I don't think I can split Buckley and Cornell. They both died much too young. Buckley was a better singer but Cornell had time to release more music.
