Favorite Rock Singers of All Time

[Barkeep]

Agreed.

I'm not suggesting that he's one of the best singers or anything, but he's definitely proficient. I love the song Your Latest Trick. Hell, I love that whole album.

Brothers in Arms...great album indeed

I also liked his vocal on Sultans of Swing

Oh, a little love for Da Man:

 

[Godstree]

Lowell George was one of the founding members of Little Feat. I'm not much of a fan of their studio albums, but the "Waiting for Columbus" live album is one of my all time favorites. Awesome vocalist and guitar player

I love Little Feet.

Also love Weed, Whites and wine.

 

[Godstree]

Campbell, Jerry Reed and Roy Clark are three that don't get near enough love on the lists of great guitarists.

Roy could play about any instrument out there. Fucker was a bad ass.

BTW my criteria for favorites/GOATS is three fold:
1. Bluesy/soulfulness - they must be able to invoke feeling.
2. Vocal control - not just to hit notes, I want some power ballad abilities or at least the ability to sing harmony when needed.
3. Story telling - make me believe or at least be able to relate to the lyrics.

 

[Godstree]

Others I like, not mentioned:

Eddie Vedder
Bono
Cyndi Lauper
Steve Winwood
Linda Ronstadt

Steve Winwood is a musical genius.

Always in love with Linda

[Rex Racer]

At least you didn't say Tom Brady

Mmmm, perky

 

[Wazmankg]

copied music? you mean copied a musical style?

i'm sure elvis didn't come out of the womb singing r&b rockabilly. but everyone acquired their style from somewhere.

elvis still had to be able to execute it and sell it. and he did in a time when it was frowned upon.

He combined country/rockabilly, soul and gospel influences, gleaned naturally from the music he was exposed to, to create rock & roll and I agree with you about Elvis. That might be a first on this site.

He didn’t create anything, is the problem I have with that statement.

By definition, doesn’t someone need to actually write music to create an entire genre?

you agreeing with me is a concern.

i didn't say he necessarily created it. i said he was the major player who elevated it to dominance.

 

[UK Cowboy]

Myles Kennedy, Corey Taylor and David Draiman

Who was I responding to, numbnuts?

And okay? He was the face of other peoples’ idea. Godlike...

Oh, hell yes!

When I was younger, that was one of my pop's favorite songs. I used to preform an acoustic version of that.

you've been repeating the same tripe to me throughout the thread, gayman.

Seems logical that he'd have to have written songs in order to "combine influences," but what the fuck do I know?

Just responding to you, needle dick. If it seems repetitive you should probably take a step back and look at your own lame argument.

Not a lot, all it takes is some hip thrusts to create a genre, duh.
