Title: Voices
Post by: mars on 30 March 2008, 20:52:28
Who do you think have the best singing voices? The first three on my list are:
1. Karen Carpenter
2. Dusty Springfield
3. Chrissie Hynde (The Pretenders)

Most depressing singer Morrissey :(

From your list it would have to be Chrissy Hynde as best singer.

Most depressing music/band ever has to be oasis, they are so utterly boring and up themselves.

Definitely Karen Carpenter and Chrissie Hynde -- not sure about Dusty tho ----I reckon if Amy Winehouse got her act together she could be a contender in time.

Karen Carpenter is definitely at the top, as for Amy Winehouse I'm afraid she leaves me cold.... Not my cup of te at all.
I must say Duffy's record grows on you the more times you hear it.

Without going into the "When I was a boy" routine .... these days they ALL seem to be one hit wonders !!! No real long lasting talent. Mind you I guess it's because they either kill themselves or go insane !!

in response...

Duffy=One hit wonder
Winehouse=Marmite
Carpenter=Great

For all time greats what about Nat King Cole? Jon Bon Jovi has got to be considered for a rock voice but actually, Michael Buble is surprisingly talented, no BS!

Anymore guitar players on here then ?

As a good voice I rather ike Roy Orbison myself, but i'm an oldie so many on here prob don't even know him.


 As for Guitarists?  Am an avid Shads fan and like all that early Hank stuff. also Clapton andMark Knopfler .... as I said I'm OLD ! ;D ;D
