It can still be moved in EYKIW in any case.
I think it fits better there.

I voted Yes, but I'm not quite sure whether he will be considered that way by the public and the music establishment. Actually, for some reason, I think yes by the public, maybe not yes by the music establishment.
Incidentally, some of my other "greats" would be Sting, Robert Plant, Freddie Mercury, Neil Finn, and Jeff Buckley. I'm biased against my own sex in this regard--I don't think any female vocalists are remotely close to the greatest male vocalists.

He's already there IMO! He's right up there with Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey, Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler and The Beatles as one of the best and distinctive voices in rock.

Of course why else would I be here?~
i voted yes. some may argue he doesn't have the best singing voice, but his voice is distinct and that, to me, makes it memorable.

Hrmm... 5 classics and Eddie Vedder? I know he's popular, and PJ fans love his voice, but he will not be recognized for one of the most memorable vocal superstars.
He's has a great rock voice, but I would venture that Chris Cornell has a greater range for rock than Eddie does. Just MO, though.

I agree. Eddie and Pearl Jam have got to be the most overrated band in history!
BTW I voted yes for Bono!

IMO he is. I don't think that the majority of people who aren't really U2 fans would agree though I think he has a beautiful distinctive voice 
And grrrrrr to anyone who thinks PJ are over-rated...

Yup, I think Bono will be up there in one that has a unique voice!! Who can argue this point?

I think he will be remembered as having one of the most, if not THE most, unique and passionate rock voices ever. There is absolutely nobody who sounds like him.

First of all, I am not a diehard PJ fan, but I have to agree that Eddie Vedar has an incredible voice that is known. PJ is Eddie's voice.
As for Bono's voice, in the eighties and early nineties, it was amazing. But now...well, even Bono has said "my voice is not what it once was, I've lost the high range". Lately it's easy to see that he is having a harder time hitting notes (like Boston Elevation DVD). Because of this, I think that perhaps his voice will not go down in history. I cringe when I hear it, but I know so many lukewarm fans who think he can't sing very well anymore. It's sad. Damn smoking!
