If you're alive (which may be questionable) you sing better than they do too!

Btw listen a song "Highway man" from Cash, Nelson, Jennings and Kristofferson. Now if there would be Tammy Wynette also singing the song would be perfect.

Although I don't think "best" is very acurate, I'd much rather hear Leonard Cohen sing than most anyone else.  He's sort of the opposite of Franky Valli lol.

Mick Jagger

Everyone loved him because everyone could sing to his songs at least as well as Mick did.

After reading all these choices I've decided I want to go to Red Ants house to drink a beer and take in some tunes.

Great lists bud!

I have to agree with that one.  I might add that he does it without coming off stuffy and arrogant too.  Very admirable.

BTW Red Ant... I think your assessment of Neil Peart in the other thread was close to the truth... though your hatred for the gentleman may be a tad bit excessive;)  I like Rush, but feel they have a tendancy to be too anistheptic.  Crisp clean and cold.

The one that throws me is Sheryl Crow.

She's one of my favorite female vocalists but she doesn't strike me as having a particularly strong voice.

Like the older stuff on the list though..

If I were to pick a modern female vocalist, I'd probably choose Shirley Manson.

hehe, it's a big State. You are one of the few people I have talked to who feels like I do about Little Feat.
I think they cut the best live album ever.
