Never fully realized how great Cummings voice is, I have always liked a bunch of Guess Who songs, but for some odd reason, I didn't fully appreciate the range and diversity that Burton's voice is capable of - then it clicked, the guy is phenomenal, a voice so rich, full and deep! I've been buying up all kinds of Guess Who albums, they are much more than their greatest hits!

Thanks, Andy.

@delorangeade Месяц назад

I'm very pleased you put Phil Mogg and Phil Lynott together, because I think that's where they belong. Both brought a lyricism, a warmth and sincerity to singing in a hard rock band that wasn't really so evident anywhere else. Their storytelling, their phrasing is masterful, and it's not so much about the braggadocio of the frontman as it is about the confidential word in the ear.

I have seen Fishbone live a few times. I like what you had to say about Angelo Moore. He so thoroughly channels the music. I first heard them playing a free gig in the lobby of the Student Union building at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. 1985-86, I think, my freshman year. They had seven members and all their kit on this tiny little riser, maybe 20x20 feet and two feet high. I came across them playing by chance. I was two floors up in the Union, looking down on the central atrium. They just couldn’t be contained by the tiny stage. I made my way down and watched the last half hour of their set. They had astonishing energy. I did go soon after and found their debut EP at the newly opened Atomic Records, a few blocks south of the Union.

@JohnGuffey-ho3xc Месяц назад

I agree with you. “Dissapearring One” is also a phenomenal track. I got to see Cornell on that tour. I had been waiting for a solo album from him since hearing “Seasons” came out, so I was super geeked to see him live. I saw him in Detroit at the State Theater and got to hang out with his band (Eleven), who were super nice. I did get to meet Chris that night, too. I kinda regret selling my signed cd booklet for $500 when he died (or whatever really happened, the whole thing made no sense). Euphoria Morning still stands out as his best, but Higher Truth is right up there (I don’t like to rank music, since music is not a competition). I also am embarrassed to admit that I had a ticket to see Chris on his songbook tour in Kalamazoo (the town where I live), and I forgot until the day after (due to the fact that I had been listening to the live cd and the excitement had been quenched or something 🤷‍♂️. A huge blunder). Cornell was one of the best, no doubt.

A very good overview of Rock singers. I knew you’d put a few unexpected names. I would have included my personal favorite, Cindy Wilson of the B52s. I saw them live several times from their early club gigs and Cindy is imo the perfect rock and roll singer. She has all the fervor and attitude, so amazing. I don’t think the studio stuff shows her at her best, but live she’s electrifying. Cindy is 100% rock and roll and doesn’t lean on traditional singing styles other than rockabilly. She an original rock and roll wonder girl. She never got the credit she deserved, she’s had side bands that are amazing. Cindy Wilson a natural rocker.

Some other unique rock singers lacking the essential bluesy component but still notable: Ann Wilson, Fee Waybil of the Tubes, David Bowie (at times), either of AC/DC's front men, Danny Elfman of Oingo Boingo (multi-talented, electric live), Todd Rundgren (at times), Brad Delp (not compelling on stage, but boy what a voice), Jim Morrison, Ian Anderson, Steven Tyler, Grace Slick, Steve Walsh. Maybe you should do a video on stage presence, ability to captivate an audience? It is essential, but a very different skill than an innate vocal talent.

- The omission of the usual names made this list interesting. - Nice to see Jess Roden listed. Saw him and his fab band twice. Jess's debut album has the likes of the Meters and also drummer Richard Bailey. A totally soulful singer. - Other greats: Steve Marriott, Arthur Brown, Hamish Stuart, Gary Brooker, Jack Bruce, Grace Slick. - Also, Reg Isidore drums on Robin Trower's 'Bridge of Sighs', Bill Lordan is on 'Long Misty Days'. - Robert Palmer also sang with the Alan Bown (along the way the dropped 'Set' from the name).

burton cummings (the guess who and solo) and rik emmett (triumph) because who else casually hits a high e (while playing killer guitar)? the guess who live at the paramount (1972) pain train is an interesting track (foreshadowing).

Happy Happenstance. I just picked up the Free Forever DVD at the used record store one hour ago. Looking forward to an afternoon of great playing & singing. Also great pick up on Phil Mogg, criminally underrated and still singing well and touring up to a couple years ago.

No one else's top 10 list would include James Dewar. I imagine you will get a lot of flack for not including the regular obvious choices like Mercury, Gillian, Daltrey, Tate, etc. but I think your list is way more thoughtful than what one would expect from received opinions. The inclusion of Corey Glover and mention of Fishbone blew my mind and shows deeper scholarship. I wonder where Jim Morrison, Prince and David Bowie land with you?
