90's Grunge lead singers

Fan of his music, but Lanegan the man is a total ass. Admittedly he could sing the phone book, incredible vocals. FYI There were other scenes in Seattle besides "grunge" in the late 80's-early 90's. A lot of punk rockers derisively referred to the genre as "trail mix metal", or "patchouli rock".

Ever wonder where Green Day was inspired? They ripped off almost every chop from Seattle's Rusty Willoughby and Flop who borrowed a thing or two from Cheap Trick, who were inspired by the three guitar attack of Australian surf-rockers Radio Birdman. Originally in Pure Joy (good luck finding that album) this was one of Flop's last efforts The Fall of the Mopsqueezers from 1992, I especially recommend Sister Anne:

If we're including Tool, I'd vote for MJK for all the categories, especially #3 (range).

I know they weren't from Seattle, but would Smashing Pumpkins be considered grunge?

I think Tool should have their own category they're not grunge they're Tool!

Smashing Pumpkins not sure if they were ever labeled Grunge or not. I admit that I do like Siamese Dream and most of Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. I always thought of them as an "Alt-Emo" group haha.

I really think the grunge label is overused. It originally only referred to Seattle bands. I like to refer to the music as "early nineties rock". That's all it was really. Bands like Collective Soul, Space Hog, Smashing Pumpkins, STP, Toadies...they were all of the era and could be heard on the same radio stations as the Seattle bands. Same for the "hair bands". It was really just 1980's hard rock.

I do agree about Tool. They are in a category all by themselves

Grunge vocalist who was not heard enough to truly appreciate: Mia Zapata RIP

I never knew that about Lanegan, that's quite disappointing. Then again we're all in ass in some ways or another

I've never been into punk much and I know there's lots of bands I could have also listed for the "Grunge" scene or so they were dubbed.

Green Day .......... Not a fan.
