R&P: Stone's List of underrated things - care to add?
1. Roger Daltrey's voice.
2. Moments of silence in music.
3. Marty Robbins (See, you don't know who he is - do you?)
4. The Everly Brother's harmonies.
5. The Beach Boys - for those who only think of them as "surf rock" - there is much more...
6. Steve Winwood - multiple bands, amazing voice, disturbingly not talked about.
7. Brian May as a singer.
8. Jack Bruce's voice (of Cream fame)
9. Marc Bolan's songwriting - even though it doesn't make sense, it still manages to be epic, I mean, he has giraffes in his hair, and he doesn't care!!
10. The Grateful Dead
11. John Cale of The Velvet Underground
12. Mott The Hoople - known primarily for the Bowie-penned "All The Young Dudes", they have a surprising amount of forgotten material that is pretty great.
and finally...
13. Freddie Mercury's lyrics - lok past the big voice and Bam!! The words are scary beautiful.
Care to add any of your own/comment?
Homo Superior - I know Daltrey makes lists and what not, most of the time for that epic scream of his, but I never hear him being regarded as a great vocalist, it always seems as others are getting in his way, does that make any sense? ...oh well.
Oooh, I should have added early Bowie.
Hiiii Cheetah! *high fives for knowing Marty Robbins*
Whooooaaaaahhhhhhh, apparently I made someone angry.........
Oh dear, I'm so sorry sir that my opinions have pissed you off, and that you feel the need to jump on the "there are too many people who worship the Beatles so I'm going to be a cool rebel and say that I hate them" bandwagon.
Good day to you.
Well then, disregard my last comment, apparently he felt his anwer was inadequate?
