| Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians! Personally, I enjoy the singing of many/most of the perps cited. It's that unusual quality that makes the song more charming. Another example is the Band--Rick Danko and Richard Manuel had quirky voices which I like, but I understand why they ar... | |
| Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's? She was definitely having some problems with high notes on the chorus. Could be a case of bad monitors, I don't know. She's much better on other live things I've seen on youtube so I wouldn't judge from this. Neither the song nor the voice is c... | |
| The great Soupy Sales died Soupy's sons, Hunt and Tony Fox Sales, played with Todd Rundgren, Iggy Pop and Tin Machine. Drums and bass, respectively. | |
| If you could only own 7 Jazz/blues albums. What would they be? If we're including fusion then scratch Jim Hall live and add Mahavishnu Orchestra, The Inner Mounting Flame. No contest there. Sorry, Jim! | |
| 2016: a new year for music.... bdp24, I can't imagine having two such encounters with Brian Wilson. Man, that is so sad. I've heard him in interviews where he seemed somewhat comfortable, somewhat lucid.And, no, I never heard Paul Skelton unless he happened to be with Cornell... | |
| Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's? Is there a link to a youtube video of the performance in question? | |
| 2016: a new year for music.... bd24, it was in Austin. I don’t think I ever went out to hear her live so I can’t tell you what sort of backing she used back then. I didn’t really know who she was, I was just looking for work that involved a guitar rather than a hammer or shovel... | |
| Where R U????? Austin, TX. I'm probably here at least until I hit the Lotto. | |
| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck This is rich: now Kanye, saying he's 53 million dollars in debt, thinks Mark Zuckerberg should invest 1 billion in Kanye's work. He also says that not only is he the greatest living artist but that he is the greatest artist ever. Perhaps he has... | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello I like that he does so many different things. I especially like the tunes he wrote with McCartney--strongly reminiscent of early Beatles yet with their own style and flavor. You can find them on youtube if nowhere else. | |
| 2016: a new year for music.... bdp24, I mentioned it because I know for sure she was auditioning guitarists in the mid-70's. This I know because I was one of the ones who flunked the audition. The upside was that her manager borrowed my Mac 2300, my mics and my PA speakers fo... | |
| 2016: a new year for music.... bdp24, FWIW, Gurf Morlix started playing with Lucinda in '85. I know she was playing in Austin in '75 or, at the latest, '76. | |
| What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles? I have a hard time believing more non-audiophiles recognize McIntosh than Bose. | |
| Noticed the Patriot Act's effects on PayPal? jafant, scammers have figured a way to manipulate cashier's checks. Better to go with personal check and wait till it clears. | |
| Led Zeppelin in Hi-rez I think you can only squeeze so much good sound out of those recordings. I don't thing it's about mastering or transferring or even mixing as much as it is the original tracks. |
