Jahfin Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Whoever that clown is that sings "Flirtin' With Disaster" for Molly Hatchett That "clown" would be the late, great Mr. Danny Joe Brown who passed away due to complications from diabetes in 2005. Danny Joe Brown August 25, 1951 - March 10, 2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 whichever Van Zant was on Skynyrd (I get them mixed up and I don't feel like looking it up... I think it's Ronnie tho) It's Ronnie Van Zant. His youngest brother Johnny fronts the post-crash version of Skynyrd. Donnie sings for .38 Special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Jon Bon Jovi. (Now, but he used to be okay. Then he went pop.) Went pop? I hate to break it to you but Bon Jovi were always pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 (edited) I admire a lot of different singers.. Etta James (She gives me goosbumps, listen to I'd Rather Go Blind) Gram Parsons Gerry Roslie (The Sonics) Bob Dylan Emmylou Harris Mick Jagger Otis Redding Rick Danko (The Band) Richard Manuel (The Band) Levon Helm (The Band) Roky Erickson Sky Saxon (The Seeds) Howling Wolf Skip James Tift Merritt Heather Nova Ane Brun Aretha Franklin (When she's not wailing too much) Waylon Jennings Roy Orbison Buddy Guy Stevie Winwood Eric Burdon Lou Reed Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) Van Morrison Mark Kozelek (Red House Painters) Dave Vanian (The Damned) Feargal Sharkey (Undertones) Johnny Cash the list goes on.. What I don't like is singers who tries to hit as many notes as possible in a short time, i.e: Dion, Aguilera, Carey and Houston. But I admit they have great voices, it's just their style that's annoying. Edited January 9, 2008 by Swede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrownBomber Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 IN no particular order... Favourites: Robert Plant Kurt Cobain Grace Slick Axl Rose (he's a d***head but he was a great frontman) Jim Morrsion Jack Bruce Bono Layne Staley John Lennon Paul Mc Freddy Mercury Dislike: Lead singer of Slipknot Lead singer of Dragonforce Gary Lightbody Eddie Vedder Steven Morrisey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) Favourites include: Jeff Buckley Robert Plant Jack Bruce James Dean Bradfield Liam Gallagher Paul Draper Thom Yorke Least favourites include: Bon Scott/Brian Johnson (I cannot listen to AC/DC because as soon as the vocals come in I would rather put my own nipples in acid than listen on any further. And it's such a shame). Tim Wheeler (Ash are shite anyway but for fuck's sake...could you have any duller a voice?) ...actually I can't think of anyone else right now, but I may be back.

Idunn Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Nice to see Gerry Roslie and Eric Burden get a nod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Nice to see Gerry Roslie and Eric Burden get a nod. Yeah, they are both great, aren't they! I remember first hearing The Witch and He's Waitin' with The Sonics, I was stunned by Roslie's vocals! Can't be more rock'n'roll than that!

I remember first hearing The Witch and He's Waitin' with The Sonics, I was stunned by Roslie's vocals! Can't be more rock'n'roll than that! I always thought Gerry Roslie and Wally Tax (HUGE fan of Tax, btw!) had a similar quality in their voices. Tax certainly has a more melodic tone, especially on the later Outsiders stuff (which wasn't all that great, imo), but the similarities are still there.

I haven't thought of the similarity between those two.. I have to take a listen to The Outsiders with that in mind. I love their debut album, The Outsiders were a cool band.. Wally past away not too long ago, sad story, I've heard he was in pretty bad shape.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idunn Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yeah...unfortunately there's quite a bit of later, solo Tax stuff on youtube that really shows the kind of shape he was in during his later years. Saddens me to think folks will hear stuff like that, but never listen to things like Touch , That's Your Problem , Ballad Of John B , Lying All The Time, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi_Zep_Fan87 Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Alvin As in "Alvin And The Chipmuks"? Honestly, I don't blame you at all for mentioning him! I don't particularly care for that extra squeaky jarring singing voice! Although, I do find the movie to be rather cute and funny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Bob Dylan (Sorry! I just don't get it! ) Since I was born in 1962 I can't really remember a time when there wasn't a Bob Dylan so I've always been surrounded by his music. That said, he's definitely an acquired taste. Still, he was a constant in my life music-wise so I never really had to warm up to him. It probably goes without saying but what he has going for him most of all is his songwriting ability. I believe that's where other artists like The Byrds come in. Their versions of his songs helped to make Dylan more palatable to the masses which helped expose him to a larger audience. His alliances with The Band probably didn't hurt things either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plant, Rodgers, Halford probably. + Buckley Jnr. Least favs: Ian Anderson & Damon Albarn. I'd like to torture them, just as they have tortured me.
