Yes, I'm the oddball, I guess! π Joan Baez did have a beautiful voice...but I'm partial to The Byrds' Dylan covers. The way Roger McGuinn's 12-string guitar sounded...I just love that sound!
You make good points regarding Hendrix and his voice. Someone else who I think had a great singing voice (that was overshadowed by his guitar playing) was Stevie Ray Vaughan. They may not have been "technically great" singers, but their singing just "struck a chord" with me (pun intended) and fit their music so well.
1. The Shapeshifters - Lola's Theme

3. Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth with Money in My Hand by Primitive Radio Gods
4. A Day In The Life - The Beatles

6. That's It for the Other One - Grateful Dead
7. Bruce Springsteen - New York City Serenade ...

Yes, I'm a fan, but not as knowledgeable about them as some here are. Robbie Krieger was such an underrated guitarist, IMO (and songwriter...a lot of people don't know that he wrote a lot of their big hits, not Jim Morrison). At one point in my life, I could play his solo in "Light My Fire" pretty much note-for-note...he was a big influence on my own guitar playing.
Ray Manzarek was a big influence on my favorite pianist George Winston as well.
Favorite songs: "Break On Through (To The Other Side)", "Light My Fire, "Touch Me," "Roadhouse Blues," "Love Her Madly."
I'm not all that familiar with Cake, but that's not the group I was thinking of. You're somewhat close, though...the name of the group also starts with the letter "C" and they were based out of California ( had a pretty big alternative hit back in 1993 or so).
I'll wait about a week or so and then post some additional lyrics. If those don't help, then I'll just go ahead and close any unanswered ones out.
Yes! Excellent...I thought this one might be a little tricky, but I guess not! Well done!
Yes! Well done!
Awesome! Should be a great time! (RIP, Dusty Hill and the many LS members that have passed...I am in Columbus, by the way, so not too far away!).
I actually like Dylan's singing on some of his older songs ("Tangled Up In Blue," " Shelter From The Storm," "Like A Rolling Stone, " the great live recording of "My Back Pages" at Dylan's 30th anniversary concert, etc.). However, at some point in the 90s, his "singing" just got to the point where it was just about unintelligible (probably not long after "Time Out Of Mind" was released). And I do think his singing voice didn't always work back in his earlier days as well.
I agree about Hendrix. I love his singing voice. He had a lot of soul in it ( like he did in that fantastic guitar playing of his as well).
I can understand your dad's thinking on this, especially the older I get! π
I did some really stupid things when I was younger and fortunately lived to tell about it. But, as a parent, I don't want my boys to do anything that could cause them too much harm. It is a different world today.
Flying, jumping out of airplanes, trying to climb Mt. Everest, etc....no thank you! π If people want to do that, I think that's great...but it just isn't for me! π
Yes, he was...Hendrix basically came out and said that the main reason he sang was because of Bob Dylan. Something like, " If Dylan can sing on his songs and get away with it, then I can too!" π Like the other great artists, his voice just really seemed to fit his music.
But McCartney (with Wings), Harrison (especially, IMO), Lennon, and Ringo put out some great music during that time period, so I think it all worked out for the best.
An incredible guitarist and musician. Contrary to some people, I loved his singing voice (The late Leslie West was also an admirer of Hendrix's singing...said he had a real "black man's voice" and I think there's a lot of truth to that). Died way, way too young at 27...would have liked to have seen what direction he would have gone with his music had he lived.
You'd think Cocker would be someone they'd champion to get in...overcame alcohol abuse, had several "classic" songs, etc. It's a shame he didn't get in before he died (and ridiculous that he's still not in today, by the way)
Yes...people really complimented his looks (Unfortunately, I didn't have anyone swoon over me...I think I'm too neurotic and weird! π). Beauty fades faster for everyone, but some faster than others.
To be honest, I never really cared much for Cindy Crawford. She always seemed to be very conceited to me and gave off a "I'm hot and I know it" vibe whenever I saw her interviews. She also made some comments one time about her marriage to Richard Gere that I thought were in poor taste. There's just something about her that rubs me the wrong way, unfortunately.
I didn't realize he wasn't in...I agree, it's ridiculous.
I know Jann Wenner (former head of "Rolling Stone" magazine) had a lot of pull back in the day and there were just certain artists/styles of music that he didn't care for. The R &R HOF voting has been ridiculous for years (I still can't believe Madonna got voted in, for example...that was really the inductee that soured me on their voting process). But I agree that Cocker should be in there.
I have to agree, unfortunately. I looked a lot like Prince William did when we were younger and he still had hair. π I still like him, though...he seems a lot more sensible than his brother.
Yes...such a sad death, wasn't it? On one hand, he died doing something he loved. On the other hand, he was only 53 (my current age) when he died. At least we never got to see a decline in his musical skills as well...but he is sorely missed.
1) "When The Night Comes" (hands down my favorite song by him...great guitar playing on that and a great vocal performance by Cocker)
2) "With A Little Help From My Friends"
3) "Feelin' Alright"
Massive, massive, massive musical talent. I was reading about his recording set-up back in the day...a chair, a stand, a microphone for his guitar, and a microphone for his voice. That was it...no autotune, no studio tricks, etc. Just pure talent...I just love his music and it's sad to me that I don't think he truly realized how popular his music still was when he died.
