| 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 |

| 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 |
