I can only make a decision based on what I've heard of the Mayfield Four....I've visited that site several times and listed to every clip they have. Sorry but if I have to choose Kennedy or Stapp....it would be Stapp. I listen to a voice and I either like it or I don't. The amount of training or range really doesn't mean diddley to me.....I either like it or I don't. Don't know if that is acceptable as an explanation. That doesn't mean it can't be good music.....just that I don't like the voice singing it. I always liked Guns N Roses....the problem was that Axl Rose was doing the singing. The dude's voice grated on my last nerve.
And the whole Pearl Jam discussion.....I passed on the entire Grunge thing. I don't own anything by Pearl Jam...and I hear way too much of it still on the radio. Not saying its bad music.....just I don't like it that much. So if Stapp was such a rip off of Vedder....how come I like Stapp's voice so much?
As a matter of fact I watched the movie Big Fish this weekend...and yeah Man of the Hour plays over the credits of the movie.....and believe me....even though I didn't know it was Vedder at the time....I certainly wouldn't have thought it was Stapp.
