Indeed, when he was doing rock - his work essentially defies the notion of musical genre.Quote:

Uh... Kevin Cronin? :unsure:
Sure - actually partied with Cronin and Richrath back in the '70s; they used to play the state fair in my home town, like five years running.
Partied with the Talking Heads, too - Jerry Harrison was the best friend of a guy I worked with; he was from Milwaukee, we went to The Red Rooster with them on his birthday..
David Byrne didn't say a word all night, and Tina Weymouth wouldn't shut-up...
Freddie kinda deserves a category all to himself.
Ian Gillan, Ronnie Dio and Bruce Dickinson.
Also Bowie, Chris Cornell, Roger Daltrey and Seb Bach.
Jimmy Hendrix. His soulful bluesy voice matches his soulful bluesy playing.
And yes, Idol. Chris fucking Cornell. Amazing singer. I also think Layne Staley and Axl Rose deserve to be mentioned.
If Bill Gates hadn't killed Stehle, Steven Tyler would have been mentioned already...
No Steven tyler available.
Damnit.
Yes j2k4, Robert Plant deserves a huge nod as well. Along with Roger Daltrey.
And I believe Jerry Garcia needs to be mentioned as well. He might not have had the "chops" that the others had, but his singing was always fun to listen to that's for sure.
I'll certainly agree on Daltrey...Quote:

Just gonna stick this in here because there are always a bunch of people who have never heard it because it was too long to get any radio play - one of my all-time faves:

This mumbling old fool.
Is mentioning Paul McCartney and David Gates too much of a stretch?
for me Freddie Mercury is all time favourite.

McCartney?
Not on my list.
Freddie is, no doubt.
FWIW, He's very much an acquired taste, but how about Geddy Lee?
That's what I thought.Quote:
