Very sad indeed! He was a great frontman for sure, but considering grunge didn't even last a decade, not sure he can be an all time great.

The term grunge may have died off, thankfully, but bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc have all carried on quite successfully.

Cornell fronted three groups in addition to his solo work. He was a prolific song writer and his voice was truly unique. He's hands down an all time great.

Without a doubt. He's a legend.

It seems like many people think this type of music died when Cobain shot himself. In reality this general type of rock (however you want to break it up and whatever you want to call it) is bigger now than ever. It isn't the mainstream/radio heavy thing it was before but mostly the mainstream/radio stuff now really sort of sucks. And I don't mean that in a grumpy old man/get off my lawn way. I like many types of music and even lots of new stuff. Mainstream music I find almost unlistenable in general though.
