I admit to being a bit surprised that Steven Tyler had yet to be mentioned. My fan relationship with Aerosmith has run hot and cold. 

I saw them live back in the 70's. The sound was shitty and they played less than an hour. But, it cannot be denied that they are the most successful rock band in America with over 150 million records sold.

This song was their kickoff to the big time and I think it showcases Tyler in his prime and at his best. Plus, it's really good:


Amen.

No thread of this topic would be complete without Linda Ronstadt. This song was written by Gary B. White and is one of Linda's best, IMHO. Sadly, Linda can no longer sing, due to progressive palsy:


Amen.

I would rate him slightly above average.

I don't like the Beatles, but honourable mention has to be given to Paul McCartney.

Quote from: Herman on March 15, 2025, 02:13:33 PMDamn kid, you saw Plant and Page live. I aint a fan, but that is still something to talk about.

 Yep thats why I went. I also saw Bob Dylan and I was right up in the front.

 I am NOT a Bob Dylan fan. But if a legendary musician comes to Detroit, I'm down to see them.

 4 years ago I almost went with a friend to see Rolling Stones and I hate the Rolling Stones lol. But...how funny to watch a group of old ass man in their 80s put on a concert lol.

 I ended up declining that invite because it was gonna be A LOT of driving. I was still living out in the boonies.

 She sent me lots of video footage though lol.

Quote from: Herman on March 15, 2025, 02:21:00 PMI will tell you folks another singer that sucked live - Vince Neil.
I saw the Crue in the eighties. Even when he was young, Vince Neil would run out of oxygen and could not sing a lot of the words.

 Bahahaha. This was just a few years ago

I've never listened to Motley Crue, but the lead singer has gained a lot of weight.

The beautiful Gayle McCormick passed away in 2016. She doesn't have a particularly large body of work.  Why?  She got her ass full of the downside of the music business, left it behind and never looked back.  She remains, however, unforgettable. This is her big hit with a band called Smith:


Amen.
