Are grunge singers sometimes overlooked? I’m going to give two examples of grunge singers, who I believe rank up there with anyone.
1. Chris Cornell
2. Layne Staley
Also. Eddie Vedder and Scott Weiland.
I think that these guys are often overlooked. Things are freaking slow, fellas

Eddie Vedder is a really good singer. He could do well as just an acoustic singer/ songwriter.

Maybe Staley, but Cornell is widely considered one of the best vocalists of his generation.

Cornell was a better singer technically with better range, etc. He could sing any genre live or stripped. But I prefer classic era Alice In Chains.
I saw Scott Weiland live 3 times. Twice with STP and once with Velvet Revolver. 2 of the 3 times, he sounded amazing. 1 of the best sounding live singers I’ve ever heard. The other time, I think he was doped up too much and was just ok.
Ps. The Soundtrack to the movie Singles is a great all time collection of the Seattle sound even with some different artists in the list.
1. "Would?" - Alice In Chains
2. "Breath" - Pearl Jam
3. "Seasons" Chris Cornell
4. "Dyslexic Heart" - Paul Westerberg
5. "The Battle of Evermore" - The Lovemongers
6. "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" - Mother Love Bone
7. "Birth Ritual" - Soundgarden
8. "State of Love and Trust” - Pearl Jam
9. "Overblown" - Mudhoney
10. "Waiting for Somebody" - Paul Westerberg
11. "May This Be Love" - The Jimi Hendrix Experience
12. "Nearly Lost You" - Screaming Trees
13. "Drown" - The Smashing Pumpkins

I think that the singers that you listed are well thought-of and rated pretty accurately.

I would rank Staley above Cornell honestly in terms of high end range, but Cornell was the better acoustic performer. I still think AIC’s Unplugged performance is among the best though. I never have been a big Vedder fan.
I would rank it like this:
1.Staley
2.Cornell
3.Weiland
4.Daniel Johns
5.Andrew Wood
6.Corgan
7.Vedder
8.Cobain (only as a vocalist I’d put Nirvana above most as a grunge band)

When Kobain sung, “lake of fire “. He kinda softened me towards Nirvana. When I was younger, there was an irrational hate towards them
