- I vote for George Michael, Freddy Mercury and Dusty Springfield.
How many choices, bands or solo artists?
In no particular order:
Dave Gilmour
Paul Rodgers
Robert Plant
Peter Gabriel
Kate Bush
Your chosen few.
Paul Rodgers from Free…strong voice.
And Stairway to heaven was very special.
If there’s a bustle in the hedgerow…
Maybe a new thread about bizarre or meaningless lyrics
yes do begin.
Meaningless lyrics are not interesting to me but I am sure that
others may find it amusing.
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
Their innocence will pull me through
De do do do, de da da da
Is all I want to say to you
De do do do, de da da da
They’re meaningless and all that’s true
Kathleen Ferrier, Jacqueline du Pre, Arthur Rubenstein.
Sinead o’connor…Alanis Morrisette…Tori Amos…Pink…Queen…Pink Floyd…Peter Gabriel…and any orchestra who recorded Mozart and made my spirit soar…x
Dylan, Cohen, Kraftwerk, The Stones., Paul Tortelier, music by Bach and loads of others my tastes are very broad. Just not bland pop!
Paul Tortellier and the Bach cello suites. Best music in the world.
Elton John, Luther Vandross, The Stones, Queen, Eric Clapton :-
Interesting mix. Elton John and “Your Song” great and for me Eric Clapton when he
played with John Mayall…The Supernatural.
When Freddy sang with that opera singer it was just an amazing sound.
Instant tears.
How do you define the greatest recording artists?
Is it by the number of “records” they produce, their commercial success or just your favourite band/musician/composer?
Ella Fitzgerald, Marvin Gaye, Leonard Cohen.
Heard Tortellier play Bach at Warwick University Arts Centre. Brilliant.
Oh no not commercial greatness but the artists who please you most
with their sound and their talent.
Glen Campbell. I didn’t realise his talent until after he had died but, boy, what a talented musician.
He played with the Beachboys for 2 years and wrote so much music and was a very good
musician. He is a country man…not my fav music. But I appreciate his talent.
I posted the first link to show that his talent extends far beyond the Country music where he is best known.
