At this point, I wish Mercury and Cornell were more similar stylistically than what they are. It's pretty much apples and oranges at this point. One is more of a upbeat, pop-rock singer, while the other is a darker, more aggressive type of singer.

 

 

On one hand you have:

The only "pimping" was my first post, everything after that is me just screwing around and bumping with songs that have lyrics that are amusing to me in this situation.

 

Mailman has "I know I'm headed for the bottom..."

 

Ty Cobb has...well. that should be fairly obvious :p

 

I was going to post Zero Chance too, but didn't get around to it.

 

We're on the edge of a terrible injustice...

 

Listen at 5:04 onward and tell me he's better than Mercury.

Mercury doesn't have a scream like that in him. :nope:

And this at :05. Not as deep as that dude's though.

But then, neither of this is really the point, is it?

The only clear winner in this matchup was McCartney for me. I had to think for a minute in all the other 3. I hated picking between Mercury and Cornell, but went with Mercury. i wish I could have picked both Vedder and Fogerty.
