Love the Vanessa Carlton song... very uplifting & vivacious track
Joni Mitchell wow... great voice! This might sound odd but Zakk Wylde came to mind
I actually haven't heard that Metallica song.. but I was a massive fan when I was younger.
I think we can debate who has the "greatest voice" until the cows come home. It's a foolish endeavour to take seriously, but can make for a fun conversation.
Zack Wylde was a nice claming song. Great voice. Bjork I used to like a lot more. She kind of tried to get into acting and ended up in a very bad film.
This is an Irish singer I have really taken to. He sings a lot about social issues. Things going on out there in the real world.
I enjoyed the Damien Dempsey tracks. Stanley Odd raps about Social Issues. I'm not really into rap but I like what he does.. it has meaning & purpose
I didn't think I knew Bobbie Gentry but that song sounded very familiar. Those soaring strings were wonderful
For some reason the following song came to mind when listening to it
Sorry.... bit of a musical vent. I think I'm okay now.
EDIT: In retrospect, I was using this all to manage my emotions. Not consciously, but I think it can come to me instinctively sometimes.
* The first two songs in this group were dedicated to the asshole neighbours who woke me up.
* The second song was a bit of a purging of the negative physical feelings, and well, it has a social anxiety theme too. A nice heavy expression of the feelings involved, I think. I've always felt a strong connection to this song.
* The third song was a bit of....a connection to the tender emotions that come after the range and frustration leak out of my system. It's tender, yet totally widescreen.... This is how my emotions often feel. Sometimes, I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
* The fourth song was an attempt to manage my mood with something a little more uplifting, but still maintaining that emotional drive.... That manic kind of pace and over-the-top nature that feels so at home for me when things get too much.
* The fifth and sixth songs are just cool songs featuring my favourite singer.... and I guess my big musical crush for the moment.
