[QUOTE]I made my Christmas list! The only CR related thing on there is The Kid's Are Alright DVD. All the CD's are like The Smiths, Sonic Youth, Coheed, Children of Bodom and U2.[/QUOTE]
CoB was good when I was like first getting into metal, but I soon found that they got boring kinda fast.

DeusExMachina 12-15-2005 11:29 AM

I don't like CoB. Very generic, in my opinion.

I just got Jaco's [I]Word of Mouth[/I] album, it's pretty good.

Kaleidoscope Eyes 12-15-2005 01:53 PM

Every once in a while I remember how good "I've Seen All Good People" is. The organ chords in the end are stunning, I'll have to try some out sometime

Broken Arrow 12-15-2005 03:47 PM

I voted for Gilmour and Dylan. :cool:

I also just got a job.:cool: but I have to cut my hair which is gonna be weird since its about 10" long. :upset:

Anyway, any of you fiends have jobs?

NP-Omar Rodriguez-Lopez- Deus Ex Machina

How is Lennon losing with only 8 votes? How? WHY?

What kind of job?

NP: Bob Dylan-Blowin' in the Wind

EDIT: I don't think Lennon's voice is that great, and I don't think he should go through.

Broken Arrow 12-15-2005 04:21 PM

Washing dishes at a Chinese food restaurant. I already know 5 people that work there and I'm friends wiith 3 of them. The sweet thing is I didnt need to apply, all I did was talk to the owner for like 2 minutes and I got it. I'm making $7.25/hour too, not that bad.

NP-Neil Young- Cowgirl in the Sand

It's been snowing so much here of late.

jpj 12-15-2005 04:25 PM

That's about $2 more per hour than that job would pay here. Of course, I don't know what that's like if you convert to American dollars.

EDIT: It's more like $1 more per hour.

Broken Arrow 12-15-2005 04:28 PM

A Canadian is like 80 cents American or something like that.

I dont think Lennon has the greatest voice either.

Well you can head butt the side walk.

[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.

After you.

Done

Stupid, I'm not gonna head butt the sidewalk.

I fooled you!

robo2448 12-15-2005 05:17 PM

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.

JonG 12-15-2005 05:55 PM

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?

DeusExMachina 12-15-2005 06:02 PM

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.

Glitterati 12-15-2005 06:09 PM

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.

JonG 12-15-2005 07:58 PM

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.

Glitterati 12-15-2005 08:16 PM

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:

PinkFreud 12-15-2005 08:19 PM

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

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

Lunch 12-15-2005 08:23 PM

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

JonG 12-15-2005 08:25 PM

McCartney>Lennon and Gilmour
Daltrey=McCartney

PinkFreud 12-15-2005 08:27 PM

i woul agree with that.

buckley=cornell=patton>everyone else

Broken Arrow 12-15-2005 08:29 PM

I really like Gilmour. I voted for him too.

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

blue3 12-15-2005 08:29 PM

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

Lunch 12-15-2005 08:30 PM

[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.

PinkFreud 12-15-2005 08:34 PM

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.
