They like to call themselves that, and guitar does swing that way a bit, but Layne Staley did not have a metal voice, neither does the new guy.

They hung out on Headbanger's Ball and toured more with metal/rock acts such as Van Halen, Poison and Ozzy.

And what exactly is a metal voice? o_O I've heard everything from operatic singing to death growls in metal.

If you have a grunge voice, then by default you shouldn't call your voice a metal voice, and Staley's voice wasn't really even as diverse as some other grunge singers.

They can tour with whoever they want, or call themselves whatever they want, genres are a very small/petty aspect of music at the end of the day. But the drumming is very grunge, the bass doesn't matter (unless he's playing some old school funk and I missed it), and although the guitar has metal traces, it doesn't do enough to classify the whole band as a metal band.

The only thing I watched on MTV back in the dizz-aye was that show with the dinosaurs and the baby would always yell, "Not the mama!"

You mean Dinosaurs? xD

Foo Fighters man! Everlong is still a badass song! Incubus, Sublime, No Doubt, Nirvana, Tool, Smashing Pumpkins, to name a few. There was a Vertical Horizon song I used to look forward to, Everything You Want I think.

I was thinking of addding incubus...but do they really get to be counted? I mean, I know they started in the 90's. Meh, I don't know, it's probably because my favourite album came out in the 2000's.

Basically a throaty hard rock voice, but a bit more trashy. I think Cornell would be on one end of the spectrum of how close it gets to being a true rock voice, and on the other end you'd have Cobain, who defined the trashy sounding voice (possibly along with axl, even though Gunners music puts them out of the running of being a real grunge band). In the middle you'd stick guys like Weiland, Hoon, Staley (maybe cantrell, because his solo stuff did have a similar grungey sound...but his harmonies are all pretty, so it's a tough one) etc.

I don't see it. I'm still going to go with their Wiki classification and who they were actually associated with through music and not just location.

Fairy Nuff. Like I said before, genre really is a small part of music at the end of the day.

I was going to see what 90's songs come up in my most listened to list on last.fm, but it's all A Tribe Called Quest, so that didn't help much.

Fungus Amongus came out in '95. I'm not entirely sure but I think that constitutes as 90's music. :p

Yeeah, I know. I won't argue. I'm just one of those conformists who listens to Make Yourself and as I said; Morning View is my favourite album and it came out in 2001.

Those are both great albums. I used to listen to Morning View when I played Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance II.
