As for Vedder I totally disagree. For every single person that thinks he was great there's ten people that find his vocals annoying. There's simply no way their music is going to be looked back on as influentially than GnR. The fact you hear more GnR replayed today than Pearl Jam is supports this as you rarely ever hear a Pearl Jam song on mainstream radio. To be the in the talk of greatest you have to transcend your genre and GnR did that while Pearl Jam has not. Their music as a band was okay but as a lead singer Vedder had yodel shtick but zero range as he's not even remotely in the league of a guy like Chris Cornell or even Axle who can pull off more than one trick. Hell I look at guys like Scott Weiland as more talented as he did a lot of different ranges and styles compared to Vedder's one trick which IMO isn't even a great one.
