My favorite band is Tool. But, Chris takes this one... Maynard even admits to not being a great vocalist and honestly, he is above par at best. But his style and lyrics are glorious. Chris, is phenomenal .
Definatly Chris Cornell. But MJK is pretty amazing also. Everyone should see the vid with Chris Cornell duet with MJK (During the period Cornell is with Audioslave)
May be a bit biased but I'd have to say Keenan. But I have just recently found out how much I love Cornell's vocals and it's close. Both are amazing vocalists, but I just prefer the feel of Maynard's vocals.
both are amazing but Cornell takes vocals , Maynard has him on lyrics imo , ive seen both live an there really is no contest who has the better voice , a much harder question would be who puts on a better show ? again a huge fan of both but TOOL sits a little higher up for me then Soundgarden ....
I am a huge fan of both artists, both as vocalists and as lyricists, in the end, I cannot really make a choice. What really needs to happen, is a collaboration album and tour.
If nothing else, they could get together and soak Justin Beiber and Selena Gomez, mid-coitus, in diesel fuel, burn them alive, all set it to music for the video and win VMAs for centuries.
Chris is awesome. he is grwat live and he has a great voice for hard rock, and a few different styles. so does maynard. he works with alot of artists aswell as apc and tool, like rage and alice in chains, etc. they both get around and are prettyt famous. they both have great voices and different styles. they are both unreplacable. and they are both awesome.
Chris has a very distinguishable and great rock voice. But Maynard is just a much better overall vocalist. He's one of the most well rounded and underated in music today. Add in his lyrics and emotions and you get 1 helluva lead singer.
Maynard has an original voice. Chris Cornell sounds like he is trying too much to sound like what the archetype "metal voice" is. That is Ronnie James Dio's sound, now give it back.
Problem with comparing the two is that they have completely different sounds and styles. Tool is a prog alternative metal band and Soundgarden/Audioslave/Temple of the Dog are all essentially rock bands. Cornell is probably one, if not the best, grunge rock vocalist of all time but Maynard is incredibly talented in how he uses his voice for his style, his genre.
i'm a huge fan of both since way back in the day. maynard is a genius !, but as far as vocals go chris cornell derserves credit. anyone who disagrees is a partial fan who hasnt followed both artists.
This question makes no sense. Chris Cornell has a good voice, I enjoy that singing/screaming combo he does, but Maynard can both sing and scream better. Also, very poor selections to portray the uber-awesomeness that is Maynard.
this is like comparing God to a really high pitched bird. Maynard is the voice of our time he is our sound and we need to accept that he may not be main stream, but he's the best.
Maynard is the clear winner. Chris sounds like he's got an oversized Adams apple. Maybe if Chris drank some of Maynard's wine he'd sing better.

Maynard stands alone, in my opinion. Chris is gnarly, don't get me wrong; but Maynard is incontestable.

I love both as my top two artists to listen to... But is there a really a competition in vocal abilities?
Cornell takes it easily - he is a 6 octave wonder. Maynard is awesome, but on more levels than just his vocals... mostly the mystique.
