Anyway welcome to UM Melissa,hope you have a great time on here Oh, okay I'm sorry. And thank you for the warm welcome. ...Um, in your opinion I understand they may not be good singers, but to me they are. I mean, out of all of them I think Michael Jackson is the best because of his songs, dance moves, and the nice person he is. But that's just your opinion; in my opinion I think they are good singers 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrimsonKing Posted January 5, 2016 #8 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Alright! Somebody described her as "Honey voiced" That fits to a T. Her voice is kinda like a classic rock version of Allison Kraus (sp) i hate country music but her voice is something else! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F3SS Posted January 5, 2016 #10 Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't know CK. I'm pretty sure Michael Jackson had some vocal chops. Not saying he's my favorite but I give credit where it's due. It's so hard to list favorite singers. So many different singers are impressive yet I couldn't list a favorite. Force me to choose though... Roy Orbison, a legend and a Wilbury. I'll tell you who has some serious talent that many might not know. Myles Kennedy. Slash, who is an official legend, currently features him and his band. This dude can sing the hell out of probably anything but especially GnR songs. He outshines Axl in every way though I'll never discredit Axl for being amazing in his prime but Myles kills it. Velvet Revolver songs too. I'm not familiar with Alter Bridge but he sang for them too. Anyhow, he's a rock n roll tenor and yes I'm a GnR geek but I think that's known by now. Here's a live Night Train and if you dig it look up more. I promise you'll be impressed after a few songs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3SS Posted January 5, 2016 #11 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Alright! Somebody described her as "Honey voiced" That fits to a T. I have an aunt who hate Stevie. Always said she sounds like a lamb. I like Stevie but don't fully disagree with my aunt's assessment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKing Posted January 5, 2016 #12 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Yeah MJ's earlier career proved he had a voice,i almost forget about it sometimes because much of his latter career was a lot of synthetic sounds added lol I have to agree also that there are almost to many to name... That is one thing i do give great credit to rappers for though unlike pop stars they will tell you up front that they are not "singers",that they are artist or poets instead... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted January 5, 2016 #13 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Strictly going by "voice"... "The Best" (My opinion only of course) Male - Roy Orbison... Female - Moya Brennan Honorable Mention: Justin Haywood (Moody Blues) Janis Joplin (Big Brother and the Holding Co - Solo) Eric Burdon (The Animals - War) "Mama" Cass Elliot (The Mommas And The Poppas) Don McLean (Solo) Marilyn McCoo (The Fifth Dimension) Ozzy Osbourne (For the hard stuff) Julie London (Old school "Torch" songs) just off the top of my noggin... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F3SS Posted January 5, 2016 #16 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Ozzy always amazed me. The guy can't speak for anything yet sings clear as a bell. I seen him live a couple times. Between songs he jibbered like he does, could barely make out a word. Then he sings and sounds like a studio recording. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting weird, just a couple of hours ago I was thinking about Ozzy (rare for me), and the abuse his brain must have endured back in the day! Brian Wilson is another that didn't fare too well either. Looking back, it's a miracle that I can even put 2 words together myself! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between songs he jibbered like he does, could barely make out a word. Then he sings and sounds like a studio recording. He's like an old, over-the-hill boxer (I won't name anyone specifically). Looks terrible, can hardly get around, but when it comes to moving around like a butterfly, he's still got it.

CrimsonKing Posted January 5, 2016 #20 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Ozzy is a legend but i put Robert Plant above him ability wise on vocals Hey Fess actually read ealier GnR is actually reuniting for at least one show coming up. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Led Zep #1. I think I've got everything they ever did on CD. (I know, I know, it wasn't all that much) Also, they tell me I was at a concert once too. Also, The Doors of course! Plus I've got all The Dylan stuff, bootlegs, rare and unreleased etc. Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, actually all the old stuff works for me. ETA: Speaking of concerts, I was fortunate enough to see Hendrix play in San Diego. Creedence .... I was a casual fan of course like most people, but at the Newport festival they were the headliners and they put on the best show! They sounded just like on the record. The last concert I went to was Bad Company in Denver, we sat in the 8th row and I had ringing in my ears for weeks..never again.LOL Edited January 5, 2016 by ZZ430 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKing Posted January 5, 2016 #22 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Zeppelin,Doors,Sabath,Hendrix,Pink Floyd,Skynyrd... I have tons of the 60's and 70's era rock music the "golden age" First song i learned on guitar was "little wing" by Hendrix 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.ZZ. Posted January 5, 2016 #23 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) Speaking of Hendrix again, he played at Jack Murphy stadium there in San Diego. When the concert began a white limo pulled up to short center field just past 2nd base. His guys opened the doors, pulled him out, carried him up onstage, (I kid you not) stuck a guitar in his hands and he played without a break for about 3 hours. ETA: You play! I think I learned to play "Smoke on the water" LOL Edited January 5, 2016 by ZZ430 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonKing Posted January 5, 2016 #24 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Awesome ZZ I would have loved to have been alive in that era to go to concerts! Alot of people hate on Jimi (i really don't know why) i agree his vocals werent the top of his time but really with all those greats it would be hard to be the best!But what he did with a guitar was kinda groundbreaking! I don't really care if others like him or not i do lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.ZZ. Posted January 5, 2016 #25 Share Posted January 5, 2016 ^ I hear ya. "Who is the best guitarist?" Yeah, some people have the nerve to say Eddie Van Halen! I'm more of a Jimmy Page or Clapton kind of guy. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
