bmags Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 QUOTE(mr_genius @ May 16, 2006 -> 06:49 PM) i heard one of the new songs on the radio it was total crap but i'm not really a Pearl Jam fan in the first place the single was the worst song on the album...i think its their best album since Yield but that said i'm tired of pearl jams sound. It sounds old. QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 16, 2006 -> 06:45 PM) I bet you forgot the green, but that's a perfect example. Dylan the songwriter, good, Dylan the singer, not so much...... and like I said we are the complete opposite on this. but he had a unique voice, if radio was myriad David Coverdales i'm sure you'd change your tune.

Some of my favorite singers can't "sing" - John Lydon, Doc Neeson, Lemmy, James Hetfield ( drunken growling James, not dried-up, dried-out, post-therapy crooning James ). Some could sing okay, but not great singers ( Phil Lynott, Bob Geldof, Paul Westerberg ). Some are really good, I think ( Geoff Tate, Dio, Rob Halford ). It's all about style and how the voice fits the music for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 There is an important line to draw in the sand: Singers on one side and "vocalists" on the other side. Some of the greatest performers in the history of music could not "sing", but their vocals were the greatest things to ever end up in music. Rock and Roll has more to do with "style" and "attitude" than actual technical prowess. I would rather spend my entire life hearing the likes of Stiv Bator(s), John Lydon, Johnny Thunders, Dave Kusworth, Rod Stewart, Spike, Tyla, Bob Dylan (*gasp*), Mick Jagger, etc. then spend 5 minutes listening to friggin' Pavarotti. But there is importance in both, and in some cases there is importance in lyrics. I love great lyrics. People tell me I'm too high when I'm around, And when I'm not I'm closer to the ground Well, I do anything whenever I want, And I want to do it here and now I'm on a one-way street, I can't retreat, 'Cos my mind and I play hide and seek They want to make a problem out of me, 'Cos they want their own problems unseen My mind's a gallery of memories, I reflect the history I'm the sort of case of the human race, That people find hard to face I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec, I'm the Cosmic Ted spaced out of my head I'm the living wreck, I live in Tooting Bec, And I'm equal to anyone I've met I'm the second door on the third floor, If you've got the key then please unlock me But hey, don't talk to me, I'm not what you see, I'm not here today, I'm miles away It's twice as much reality when you're, Face to face with history -Hanoi Rocks That's just some cool stuff there.

Blue Valentines - Tom Waites She sends me blue valentines All the way from Philadelphia To mark the anniversary Of someone that I used to be And it feels just like theres A warrant out for my arrest Got me checkin in my rearview mirror And I'm always on the run Thats why I changed my name And I didn't think you'd ever find me here To send me blue valentines Like half forgotten dreams Like a pebble in my shoe As I walk these streets And the ghost of your memory Is the thistle in the kiss And the burgler that can break a roses neck It's the tatooed broken promise That I hide beneath my sleeve And I see you every time I turn my back She sends me blue valentines Though I try to remain at large They're insisting that our love Must have a eulogy Why do I save all of this madness In the nightstand drawer There to haunt upon my shoulders Baby I know I'd be luckier to walk around everywhere I go With a blind and broken heart That sleeps beneath my lapel She sends me my blue valentines To remind me of my cardinal sin I can never wash the guilt Or get these bloodstains off my hands And it takes a lot of whiskey To take this nightmares go away And I cut my bleedin heart out every nite And I die a little more on each St. Valentines day Remember that I promised I would Write you... These blue valentines blue valentines blue valentines Listen to it and you know he's "singing" the truth.

Spiff Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I heard "Life Wasted" by Pearl Jam, and the first thing I said was wow this song actually has some balls. The big-time PJ fan nearby was offended, like it was some kind of revelation that most of their songs don't. :sleep As far as great singers who can't sing, throwing Anthony Kiedis, Duncan from Snuff, Tim Armstrong, Chuck from Hot Water Music, and the lead singer from Q and not U into the mix.

I'm in the weird group who thinks the best Sabbath was the Dio era. Mob Rules is both a great album, and a great song. Ozzy era was boring for the most part. I know if I was paying attention during those early years of Sab I would have a different feeling. But for me, both parts put out their best at the same time, just not together. Sab with Dio, Ozzy with Randy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
