I glad we've now got that difference all cleared up and we can all move on.
Now, now, let's not discount Staley's vox here. The melodies he produced with Cantrell were quite good. I have no problem with Vedder; he was truly an innovator who developed his own style. I think people sort of take him for granted because ****ty post-grunge vocalists like Scott Stap (and to some extent Scott Weiland) ripped him off and beat that sort of singing style to death.
