493295 2007-08-04 08:32:00 I only that lists popular songs you here. Now another good druggie was ray charles. rob_on_guitar (4196)
493296 2007-08-04 08:44:00 Hmmm.
Interesting, Joe, but not what I meant...

The list isn't a quiz to identify the people.
It's a list of people whose voices are so distinctive (to my ears, anyway) that they can always be identified.

So I wonder which other vocalists other PF1ers think should be on it..?
Or whether they disagree with any of my choices?

Ande I've 3 more women to add since I wrote it:

Shirley Bassey
Eartha Kitt
Ella Fitgerald
Laura (43)
493297 2007-08-04 18:03:00 kd Lang: god's greatest gift to female voice

Tom Waits: soothing, sweet baritone with great nasal qualities, full-toned

Ringo: different, that's all

Tom Jones or Englebert Hiumperdink: interchangeably

Rod Stewert or Kim Carnes: I think they are both the same person anyway . (Ever see them perform on the same stage? Made my case)

Lonnie Donnegan: possibly the father of doo-wop . . . love him though!

Rolf Harris: quaint otherworld twang, hard to understand, may NOT be singing in English

Cher: the "Chameleon" voice

Ricky Nelson: silky, tonal, evocative and emotional

Linda Ronstadt: take her outta the "Stone Ponies" and she's pure sex in a singing strapless gown .

Alison Krauss: ohhhh! sweet kissy-faced woman with great lungs and reverb .

Bob Dylan: no comment, none needed

Bobby Darin: dead, unfortunately .

Eric Clapton: should not even sing .

Annie Lennox: Oh God! Black leather, bleached hair, harmonica and six foot tall androgeny .

Janis Joplin: Instant Ear-Orgasm!

Little Anthony (& The Imperials): So much voice from such a munchkin . The Rodney Allen Ripney of rock .

Lenny Welch: chill-factor x 100, but IS he really Welsh?

Meat Loaf: rock balladeer in lace/leather: emotion in a very large package .

Otis Redding: unfortunately, very dead just at the same time he was going to cross over to the white audiences . Soul, personified . Better than James Brown by all means .

Sammy Davis, Jr: Just horribly bad on all levels: acting, singing, walking, breathing (which he ISN'T right now anyway)

Shel Silverstein: (See "Tom Waits", above) . Anyone who is a cartoonist for Playboy, plays in a band and writes some of the funniest music ever, needs accolades . He even appeared on Sesame Street .

Stevie Ray Vaughn: God's answer to the male incarnation of perfection, emotion and good ol' sweat while playing roadhouse blues . My most serious hero . (Ya listening, Rob?)

493299 2007-08-04 19:43:00 I listen intently to Tommy Shannon but I cannot get near his speed and accuracy .

I'm a thumber like ATPH and I guess I'm stuck at that speed and technique .

493300 2007-08-04 19:55:00 I find the tempo control on WMP 11 great for helping me in that department. I set a song...say Dire Straights Sultans of swing to a very slow tempo so i can get comfortable with the notes and get the 'flavour' of the scale, then slowly speed up the tempo as i get more familiar.

The hardest thing i find is sweep picking, I have to play a particular guitar to do it (like my Ibanez, the fret board has a better feel for it) my old banged up takamine gx200 is used more for ACDC type stuff.

493301 2007-08-05 04:21:00 Ok my list

Jerry Garcia, the late and lamented Grateful Dead frontman .

Hank Williams, Also late but then he always was, apparently .

Bo Diddly, I bet Mr and Mrs Diddly were proud .
John Mayall, The guy who saved the blues from White trash oblivion .

Willie Nelson, need any more be said?

K . D . Lang, Nail, the, Joe, head, on, hit, the . (rearrange into well known phrase or saying . )

Prince, the artist fomally known as Squiggle .

Jack Bruce, would you like cream with that? (back when Clapton had a passable voice)

John Lyddon, Post pistols showed he actually had talent .

Kirsten Morelle, Golden Horse . An NZ band you should give an ear to Joe I think you may like .

Spiggy Topes, do a search on that one .

Antony Hegarty, Antony and the Johnsons, weird but unmistakeable .

Joanna Newsom, Lisa Simpson on Acid (had to get a drug reference in somewhere)

Lou Reed, better in the days of the Velvet Underground (IMHO)

Leonard Cohen, Now, He's a larf . :rolleyes:

Chris Kristofferson, Deep if not meaningful .

Laura "Giving away age clues there, Jack . . . "
But not as many as you;)

493302 2007-08-05 05:50:00 Voices to forget: :cool:

Van Halen: signs autographs to himself....shallow, sloppy, boisterous for no good reason...screams like a little girl.

Nancy Sinatra: sister "one note" and her infected nasal passageways.

Pat Boone: white bucks meet the switchblade and tattoo parlor. Seen him in Goth? <barf..puke..barf again>

Yoko Ono: Oh No! 23 minutes in the iron maiden would be more fun. (get it?)

Michael Bolton: you mean his head hasn't exploded yet? Should be a model on the cover of a "heaving-bosom" paperback novel, not singing...although he doesn't turn ME on!

Cheech Marin: needs more smoke

Dolly Parton: just stand there and don't open your mouth.

Placido Domingo: cheap copy of Pavarotti who has to slide to a note to make sure he might actually hit it...or not.

Bjork: talent to kill about, should play his accordion when he sings too.

John Mayer: a one hitter who is still looking for one good hit.

Johnny Cash: couldn't carry rhythm in a peach basket....and DIDN'T ...lyrics were a problem too!

Axl Rose: nine-inch nails on a chalkboard....spent the money for his vocal lessons on cheap booze and fishnet stockings.

Tiny Tim: we NEED you back, Tiny! Bring your monkey.

David Lee Roth: skivvies too tight will give you a voice like this.

Stevie Nicks: 50% of the time anyway...

Julio Iglesias: another Pavarotti wannabe....poor but flashy performer with a very good manager or pr department

Bowser from Sha-Na-Na: has a dog bone stuck in his nose..twangy and nasal-y and never on key. False bass voice that never really hits the mark or the note..or the tempo..or...

James Blunt: not beautiful, handsome or even passable in the dark. A definite two-bagger.

Ozzie Osborn: was THAT singing? I thought your neck got sick and threw up! Posed as the face on the airline's airsick bags.

Jesse McCartney: trying to ride his dad's cart..but I think the horse stepped on his throat.

ANY Bollywood Singer: if there's even such a category as a "singer" in that land.

Neal Young: whiny, falsetto that may just be his natural voice. Lost without the rest of CSNY

Dan Fogelberg: gives sensitivity a bad name.

Lee Greenwood: Nancy Sinatra on steroids.....they are the same vocal range, prolly the same person too.

Kurt Cobain: will never reach Nirvana as a single. Sounds like he swallowed a lit cigarette.

Did I mention Joe Cocker? Nope..guess I didn't. He gave voice lessons to Michael Bolton...class dismissed!

493303 2007-08-05 12:30:00 Oh well. I just wote the most brilliant thing I have ever seen on PC Worm
and the ****ing thing told me I was not signed in and I lost the lot.
It was really good, you will never know how good it was but I gave Metla some grief, I can tell you, and Joe, oh how he would have laughed. But no, it's all gone now. Into the ether, never to be told. So Sad.
I may post this more than once
just to support Joe. Joe for president I say. Anything is better than the burning Bush

493304 2007-08-05 12:33:00 And another thing.
