bga Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Robert then Freddy. I love Aretha, Ray, Elvis and John but it is Robert's and Freddy's voices that I listen to on an almost daily basis because I just can't get enough of them. The others' voices are great and all but I'll be ok if I don't listen to them for an extended time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert has written a whole essay on Elvis for the RS feature. Not surprisingly, it's really good: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/24161972/page/3 I don't want to read too much into Robert's essay, but could this part where he's writing about the older Elvis be telling of his current situation with his old band mates - "By then, because of the forces around him, it was difficult for him to stretch out with more contemporary songwriters. When he died, he was 42. I'm 18 years older than that now. But he didn't have many fresh liaisons to draw on — his old pals weren't going to bring him the new gospel. I know he wanted to express more. But what he did was he made it possible for me, as a singer, to become otherworldly." P.S.S. One mo' thing then I'll shut up: just wanted to include the lovely (and kinda flirty) words of praise Alison Krauss has for ... Paul Rodgers, " His voice is so tough and so masculine," says Alison Krauss, who grew up a big fan of Paul Rodgers, "he might as well be standing there with a gun while he's singing." With his throaty, impeccably controlled roar, Rodgers was born to sing over big guitars — which he did again and again, most notably with pioneering rockers Free and the Seventies hitmaking machine Bad Company. From "All Right Now" to "Can't Get Enough," his combination of macho blues power and melodic sensitivity still sets the standard for hard-rock frontmen. Rodgers was idolized by the late Freddie Mercury (whom he is now replacing in Queen) and Lynyrd Skynyrd's Ronnie Van Zant. "The sound of his voice represents a whole kind of man to me," says Krauss. "Incredibly masculine, sexy, hardworking." Edited November 13, 2008 by FireOpal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr E Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) It's a nice varied list. Steve Marriott should have been included though. In fact he should be in the top 10! I like Alison Krauss's comments too and totally agree about Paul Rodgers. That's why I don't think he quite works with Queen, his vocals are just too cool and masculine for Queen's camp back catalogue.

He was always Elvis in a singular way and never part of a famous group. I don't see the parallel to Robert's scenario in relation to Jimmy and the others. Other than a brief era of Page/Plant, Plant's been doing as he's wished for 28 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
040879 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I saw the full list on the Rolling Stone website earlier today. One thing that struck me as I read some of the endorsement comments by other singers was that considerations of technique and range don't seem that significant when singers assess their favourites. Chris Cornell,Iggy Pop and Van Morrison all indicate that their choices[Jeff Buckley,James Brown and Sam Cooke respectively] somehow transcend or bypass or overcome 'mere' technical issues with something that would seem to be almost indefinable.A mix of personality,will, bravery,commitment and soul comes close to summing it up. Cornell acknowledges Buckley's formidable technical ability but makes it clear-as the others do for their choices,especially Sam Cooke- that this alone is nowhere near enough. I found this interesting in that many music fans seem to rate singers on a 'technical' scale and yet the singers themselves seem to give other ideas more emphasis. Oh-where's Tim Buckley?

SunChild Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Bob Dylan at #7 and Robert Plant at #15 does NOT make sense. But it is an interesting poll because of the people who did the voting. It does to me. I think Bono hit the nail right on the head... before Dylan, it was about "pretty" voices, technically good voices. After Dylan, it was about REAL, individual voices. If you don't think the impact of that on Rock was huge, you are not paying attention (or else you're really young). Plant is a great singer, but his voice is so singular, he didn't have near the same impact on how other singers perform, if you see what I mean. Well, other than David Coverdale.

040879 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Bono's just wrong,as he so often is.Plausible but wrong. Howling Wolf ,Muddy Waters, Elvis,Little Richard,Robert Johnson,to name just a few -none of these are 'pretty' singers. All of them are as idiosyncratc and individualistic as Dylan. Importantly,they were exhibiting these qualities before Dylan and without his influence.Bono may not personally have heard any of them before Dylan but that doesn't make Dylan their precursor. A neat bit of rewriting of history to make the world fit his personal experience maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunChild Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Definitely, agree with you. No doubt Robert should be number one. Dylan as a singer no. But musically and lyrically Zimm should be right near the top. I do think Freddy Mercury belongs up there as well and somehow was ommitted. Let's see what the real fans here want, even though this the Official Led Zeppelin Forum. Forget the shoddy Rolling Stone poll, here's the real one! Who do you think are the top 5 singers of the Rock 'N'Roll Era? In no particular order... Elvis Lennon + McCartney Aretha Janis Joplin (&, since this is the Zep site...) Robert Plant That's top singers... not necessarily most influential, since this is a contradiction to what I just posted about Dylan... But I never fail to go, WOW, when I hear these people sing. For the Lennon nay-sayers, as a young man he could rock it! "Twist and Shout" to "Imagine" is a hell of a long way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate what you're saying, but although these people certainly did have those same qualities, they didn't have the wide-spread, main stream success Dylan did. All those people impacted our favorite musicians quite a bit, obviously blues-based rock sprang from there. But Dylan paved the way for a gruff voice, a personal voice, to be succesful in the larger world, well beyond those genres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
040879 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I'm not sure what "The Rock and Roll era" is, when it is or was and who or what it includes and why or how but....excluding Robert Plant because he'll get loads of mentions here and it can be taken as read that he's one of my All Time Top 5, here goes NO PARTICULAR ORDER-Joni Mitchell,James Brown,Jeff Buckley,Thom Yorke and Marvin Gaye. Those are my faves at 22.29 13 Nov 08. Tomorrow at this time they'll be different... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EpicForest Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Sure there are alot of good singers but they're all POPULAR!! Boring in a way. I rarely see obscure artists on these top 50 or 100 lists of anything. It's like the criteria is, So long as you have enough hit material that you'll be known by the majority of readers can you be on this list. Oh well, I expect that from any mainstream type of magazine survey/list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey...my opinion is that most lists of the kind are boring. If that's seen as condescending so be it. If I put a 100 list out, so many would be so obscure, a vast majority would overlook it and not take much interest. Hence the reason such POPULAR artists are usually on these lists. I agree about what's put IN FRONT of people. Kinda like "spoonfed". I think you're being just as condescending there. But it's true. So wow, maybe my opinion has validity too. My tastes DO go past the top 40 FM hits of the past. I think several here may feel that way as well. It's a BIG world out there and what's "put in front" of someone's ears is such a tiny portion of what's out there. This list represents that to me.

Elvis56 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 In rock music there are only two innovators as I see it, 1 ELVIS PRESLEY 2 ROBERT PLANT Who else inspired generations of imitators? Coverdale? I think not. How many "I do too" have there been... While there are certainly talented vocalists out there I can only really boil it down to two who have had the greatest impact and created a whole look, sound and style. That's who they were, no posers please. There is no replacement for Robert Plant. There is no replacement for Elvis. Everyone else...bow down before the Gods of rock vocals. Okay-Robert Johnson...you can stand up!!! Oh yes and another thing, there is no Led without Robert, he was meant to be...so it was and is. Ever Onward.

Sorry, I happen to like technically good voices. It doesn't have to be all about technique, but it is important to me. It's what my ear likes to hear. Maybe your ear likes something different. To each his/her own. Of course Dylan was a huge impact. He's an incredible musician and songwriter. He's unique and one-of-a-kind. I just don't happen to be crazy about his voice. I have always paid attention, and no, I'm not really young. I saw Zeppelin live if that gives you a general idea of my generation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
