Male vocals
Posted: Fri Nov 09, 2007 7:55 pm
Rose suggested a thread about the hottest male musical acts, but given that BookTalk is usually kind of a sausage-fest, I figured this would go over better. Who are your favorite male singers?
I tend to go for quirky voices or odd phrasing. To that end...
Ian Curtis of Joy Division
Britt Daniels of Spoon
Freddie Mercury of Queen
(You dare scoff?!)
Ziggy Stardust
Willie Nelson and... Paul Simon?
Actually, that's not such an odd combination. While Paul Simon has since branched out to African and South American influences, his original passion was the sound of Americana. And both are, perhaps bar none, the greatest living American song writers. I defy you to tell me any differently.
My head. It would splode.
Louis Armstrong
(There's probably no better illustration of the axiom that trumpet players sing in the same "voice" that they play.)
And, of course, ladies and gentlmen, please put your hands together for the incomparable Mr... Curtis... Mayfield...
