[QUOTE]OR buckley.[/QUOTE]

I can't even decide whether to label Jeff Buckley as a good vocalist or not. [I]Grace[/I] is nice, but I've heard some of his older, heavier stuff (like a cover of "kickout the jams") and heard some of the worst singing I'll ever hear.

[QUOTE=Krabsworth]Well you can head butt the side walk.[/QUOTE]
After you.

[QUOTE=jpj]After you.[/QUOTE]

Done

[QUOTE=Krabsworth]Done[/QUOTE]
Stupid, I'm not gonna head butt the sidewalk.

I fooled you!

It's between Daltrey and Lennon for me. I love Buckley's voice but I prefer both of them to him. It's been a good afternoon. I'm in a Bob Dylan mood and I've been reading Chronicles and watching No Direction Home.

I voted Buckley.

Woodstock, you should've bought it :)

I had a job last summer. Saved up and bought my SG, this summer I hope to make more, and buy unlimited items!!11arghhh

I need a new avatar. Ideas?

I would've voted Buckley, but I really don't think he'll need my help to go through, so I went with Gilmour.

Your Willy Wonka avatar was awesome.

I need a job. Badly.

I voted for Buckley. How Bon Scott got into the same poll as him is beyond me.

thats not exactly and old song of his. he'd been covering that song up until he died. and its not exactly bad singing, its just not the same style so it doesnt sound right. grace is the greatest vocal album ever though. through and through.

a lot of the classic rock vocalists are average or get pushed through due to fanboyism. lennon and gilmour most notably. there's no way that the distance between him and buckley should be so close. its ridiculous. if buckley doesnt get through this round i'll probably leave mx for a while. its nothing childish, it just frustrates me to no end that he gets no recognition. there's no way that he shouldnt be in the top 5 vocalists but i know he wont. and steve perry didnt even get into the polls did he? thats absurd. even if i dont like journey i can tell that he's a very talented vocalist.

I'm back to the old avatar again.

I just listened to "Quicksilver", the album, not the s/t by QMS. It's way better then the first time I listened to it.

"The Truth" is a good song.

Err, I voted Thom Yorke.

/gets kicked out of CR thread

Speaking of modern rock, anyone like Rage Against The Machine? I just rediscovered this awesome '90s rap-metal band, and was wondering if anyone else ITT likes them.

np: Rage Against The Machine - Vietnow :cool:

eh. de la rocha annoys me. i actually prefer audioslave.

and i also prefer early faith no more for rap/rock.

I really like RATM. And there's no way Lennon of Gilmour should be beating Daltrey.

McCartney>Lennon and Gilmour
Daltrey=McCartney

i woul agree with that.

buckley=cornell=patton>everyone else

I really like Gilmour. I voted for him too.

I used to really like RATM, still like 'em though.

I like RATM, and Audioslave too. I saw them live actually. Cornell is an awesome singer, but he's not that great at rapping..

[QUOTE=JonG]McCartney>Lennon and Gilmour
Daltrey=McCartney[/QUOTE]

McCartney doesn't hold a candle to Daltrey, but at least you agree they're better than Gilmour.

daltrey had control problems. he also lacked range. mccartney is only inferior to daltrey in terms of power and even there, he's no slouch.

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]daltrey had control problems. he also lacked range. mccartney is only inferior to daltrey in terms of power and even there, he's no slouch.[/QUOTE]

Control problems? Armenia and the whole Tommy album (actually most of Sell Out as well) would beg to differ. His range isn't fantastic, but I can't see how McCartney that much better. And Daltrey's Power>>>>>>McCartney's.

I actually think McCartney beats Daltrey technically. As PinkFreud said, he beats Daltrey pretty easily in range. But Daltrey has the most powerful voice ever, and it suited The Who perfectly. McCartney has great power too, but nobody can come close to Daltrey when it comes to that IMO. Of course Keith Moon beats them both.

np- Bell Boy:cool:

he sounds like he's straining every time i listen to tommy. its not pleasant to my ears.

i still like him though.

This conversation inspired me to listen to "Why Don't We Do it in the Road" I think that has some of Mcartney's best singing no matter how much of a filler song it is.

I've never heard any signs of noticeable strain, but to each his own.

I really can't believe that Gilmour is beating Daltrey. I think I have just lost any faith I had in this forum.

gilmour does not really sing that well. plain and simple. i agree. daltrey should be above him.

[QUOTE=Livewired]This conversation inspired me to listen to "Why Don't We Do it in the Road" I think that has some of Mcartney's best singing no matter how much of a filler song it is.[/QUOTE]

I agree. I like most of the filler on The White Album. I used to hate Wild Honey Pie but even that's growing on me now. I like all the songs on it now.

Another thing in Daltrey's favor is that Pete Townsend had pretty good range and could handle a lot of the higher notes so Daltrey didn't need outstanding range.

Edit- I love Gilmour but prefer Daltrey to him by a lot.

love reign o'er me and wont get fooled again are daltrey's shining moments.

Haha, I prefer Gilmour because I dont care about talent or range as you guys.

Can't you tell? I'm a Neil Young fan!

/low-blow to favourite artist

zing!

yeah, technically he's pretty bad. haha.

Harsh. If I'm listening to a song by him (like After The Goldrush) and his voice breaks, my sister always laughs at me/him.

I think Daltrey is overrated, as great as The Who are. I prefer Lennon/McCartney.

Quadrophenia is so great. Probably Daltrey's shining moment as a singer, probably the greatest drumming album that I have ever heard, some of Entwistle's greatest bass playing, and the plot line is much better than Tommy's. The only fault I can find is the synthesizers. On most of the album, the synthesizers work really well but sometimes get a little annoying. I still prefer Tommy but Q is pretty amazing too.

np- Love Reign O'er Me

[QUOTE=PinkFreud]love reign o'er me and wont get fooled again are daltrey's shining moments.[/QUOTE]

And See Me, Feel Me live anywhere. Daltrey is a fantastic rock singer, plain and simple. He certainly shouldn't be the best vocalist on any list because of his limitations. But his overall ability in just one area is good enough for him be top 10, especially in R&M.

Hey, I like Gilmour's singing. He may not be the most technically talented singer, but his voice is really wonderful. I think so, at least.

That being said, I do think Daltrey is an amazing singer as well. I didn't actually notice he was in the poll until after I voted.

[QUOTE=Lunch]McCartney doesn't hold a candle to Daltrey, but at least you agree they're better than Gilmour.[/QUOTE]

Um Daltrey is totally pwned off his sox by McCartney

Hey, your not alone. I think Gilmour is a great singer too.

I love the harmonies in songs like Echoes and Breathe.

[QUOTE=Krabsworth]Um Daltrey is totally pwned off his sox by McCartney[/QUOTE]

Yea, except in terms of singing.


Edit: Actually, and most other things too.

Ummmm...no.

[QUOTE=Lunch]Yea, except in terms of singing.

[QUOTE=Krabsworth]Ummmm...no.[/QUOTE]

Hmmm, that was a truly compelling argument. I'm going to rethink my opinions.

[QUOTE=Livewired]Yeah I bet Daltrey would own Mcartney at sports.[/QUOTE]

Daltrey would beat the crap out of McCartney too.

He knocked out Pete Townshend in one punch when they were rehearsing for their Quadrophenia tour.

[QUOTE=Livewired]Yeah I bet Daltrey would own Mcartney at sports.[/QUOTE]

Um, too bad Daltrey didn't make taht grreat of music.
