I'm not talking just in rock either, I'm talking about across the board, of all time.

Not necessarily THE best, but he should be included in the same conversation with others that are generally considered GOAT singers like Freddie Mercury, Michael Jackson, Prince, Elvis, Johnny Cash, Whitney Houston, etc.

These are also fantastic songs.

I don't know if I can think of a single track other than maaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyybbbbbbbbeeeeeeeee off of Soundgarden's debut album Loud Love that Cornell doesn't sound incredible, and honestly that's more because of mixing/production issues on the album than anything else.

It was decent IMO, but kinda forgettable. There's only a couple of Cornell's solo stuff that really stands out to me. His voice is of course amazing as always, but otherwise I'd rather listen to a Soundgarden or Audioslave album.

IDK if I've actually listened to his first solo album from beginning to end, I need to fix that.

I do like Can't Change Me a lot though.

I liked the song before the movie and liked it even more after... same with Ready Steady Go/its Korean version. I don't know why I liked that movie so much. It was right around the time Tom Cruise emerged publicly as a full on scientologist

His best shit to me was on Louder Than Love

Back when there was no struggle to hit any note no matter how high it was. The songwriting got better as they progressed into the nineties but holy shit that album is awesome.

Louder Than Love is pretty hit or miss for me tbh.

It's a good album, and Chris is great on it, but I defintiely think both the band as a whole and Chris himself really refined their sound by Badmotorfinger and onward.

i went through a huge Sound Garden/AudioSlave phase during my freshman year of HS. Absolutely loved Chris Cornell and my dad and i were heartbroken when he passed.

His singing talent was almost second to none.

I'm so sad that I never got a chance to see him perform live. That would have been fucking incredible.

No joke I've been to like 3 concerts in my entire life. One of them was in 2005 I think when Audioslave had Seether and 30 Seconds to Mars opening.

It was nuts.

So one time I'm "on tour", which is a cool way people who play instruments justify putting miles on a van you hate riding in, and I finally get the damn phone to throw in my Spotify choices. My first choice is Hands All Over and it comes on exactly as the front man/songwriter stops talking about how his mom passed away.

Dude driving didn't even think about it so we got to sit through "IT'S GONNA KILL YOUR MOTHER"

Yeah.

Edit:. I've drank to much to make that make more sense
