The Annoying Voices In Music

[Guest Incandenza]

I gotta play "Anywhere I Lay My Head" tomorrow. It's so, so...wow.

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

Robert Plant can't sing, and he never could.

[Guest Flyboy]

I'm glad to see my topic has been elevated to good standards...

 

*hugs himself*

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Back on the Female Singer-Songwriters topic...Tori Amos Storytellers is on VH1 presently. Her voice is enough to make me forgive a dozen Avril Lavignes.

 

::puts on Boys for Pele::

 

Yeah, that's the stuff.

[Guest goodhelmet]

Eh, it ain't for everyone. Of course, next time I play a Waits song, I'll dedicate it to you, Will.

just make it 'downtown train' so i can reminisce about the rod stewart concert my wife and i went to about 6 years ago!

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

and a whole bunch of chick "singer"/songwriter types.

whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA!

 

don't even TELL me you're thinking about tori amos, liz phair, suzanne vega, the breeders, sam phillips, heather nova, poe, veruca salt, cowboy junkies, portishead, bjork or pj harvey when you say this. cause if you are, i do believe a group of us will have to beat you down.

I was thinking more along the lines of Alanis and co. .

Lee is at his high-pitched worst on Fly By Night and A Farewell to Kings.

Don't get me wrong, I love Rush, but the thing that bothers me the most about the vocals is not the high-pitched factor. It's when the lyrics get waaaaaay too ridiculous. Especially the song The Trees. Man oh man. Using maples and oaks for symbolism while attempting to sort out socioeconomic injustices in modern society???? What the fuck??

[Guest FeArHaVoC]

Also on the suck list are the singer from Smash Mouth, Axl Rose (despite the fact that GNR have some great songs), Steven Tyler, Brian Johnson (now especially), Janis Joplin, and a whole bunch of chick "singer"/songwriter types.

Get the Fuck out of here. Steven Tyler doesn't deserve to be on that list.

There is unrest in the forest

There is trouble with the trees

 

What the HELL is that all about?

if your not Canadian then you probably wont know

[B. Brian Brunzell]

What does being or not being Canadian have to do with using trees as metaphors for modern society? Just curious.

[Guest TheyCallMeMark]

They're from Canada. It's about Canadian problems.

I'll probably be the only one to say this, but I don't get all the rage inducing hate of Creed on this board. Hey I like them so sue me.

 

It's not for everyone I guess.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Creed are everything I hate about music and the world in general.

 

Bloated, ridiculous, trite, and without a single ounce of wit.

 

Also, Rush should hang out with Jarvis Cocker and the kids from Pulp. I hear they love trees too.

You've just described how I feel about most pop stars.

 

There are much worse things than Creed out there....like Avril.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

...The Trees

 

There is unrest in the forest,

There is trouble with the trees,

For the maples want more sunlight

And the oaks ignore their pleas.

 

The trouble with the maples,

(And they're quite convinced they're right)

They say the oaks are just too lofty

And they grab up all the light.

But the oaks can't help their feelings

If they like the way they're made.

And they wonder why the maples

Can't be happy in their shade.

 

There is trouble in the forest,

And the creatures all have fled,

As the maples scream "Oppression!"

And the oaks just shake their heads

 

So the maples formed a union

And demanded equal rights.

"The oaks are just too greedy;

We will make them give us light."

Now there's no more oak oppression,

For they passed a noble law,

And the trees are all kept equal

By hatchet, axe, and saw.

 

...jesus...

[Guest saturnmark4life]

I think creed are the funniest thing on tv. I'm not getting at anyone personally, i just don't get how anyone could take them seriously.

[Guest Choken One]

They give a good live show...better then 80% of music today.
