I like a few of his hits but I really don't understand the level of devotion and appeal of some of his more die-hard fans.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12331855.post-52508556649022553612012-09-19T10:16:31.196-04:002012-09-19T10:16:31.196-04:00I don't mind McDonald and even like him on som...I don't mind McDonald and even like him on some songs ("What a Fool Believes" and "Takin' It To the Streets" come to mind). As for Bowie, I agree with you on most of his material but there are a few songs of his I like ("Life On Mars," "Ashes to Ashes," and "Space Oddity" come to mind).

I have so...Charlie: Hey there, I'm new here....<br />I have some problems with voices too, & I'm with you on Bowie and Talking Heads. But they both have a coupla great songs. If the Heads' "Take Me to the River" doesn't do it for you, how bout "Road to Nowhere"?<br />Agree Joni Mitchell could be kinda weedy, but I love "Raised on Robbery" & "Coyote"....<br />Michael McDonald DID get overused in the '70s/'80s, got really tired of hearing him -- sounded like fog with a voice. But I still love "Takin' it to the Streets."<br />& whatchoo mean you don't LOVE the Godfather Of Soul?! WHAAATT?! Jump back! HEY!<br />I can think of lotsa GROUPS that don't deserve any love (or at least Not Much). Can I nominate Guns 'N' Roses, AC/DC, Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Megadeath, Metallica, Iron Maiden...? Maybe 4 good songs outta the whole bunch!<br />...& I think Pink Floyd was SUPPOSED to leave people cold -- I think that was kinda their point....<br />Cheers!<br />TADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13853931230081777310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12331855.post-38243498800059481482012-08-19T14:26:36.260-04:002012-08-19T14:26:36.260-04:00I am with you on these, mostly, except for McD (wh...I am with you on these, mostly, except for McD (who/whom I'm going to see with Donald Fagen and Boz Scaggs in Milwaukee tomorrow night). I am not sure he's well-suited to classic soul songs, however. His true calling might be as a backup vocalist, harmonizing with Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers. <br /><br />It seems to me that Mitchell and Bowie have been a big influence on contemporary singers, given the number of tuneless wails and disembodied-and-disinterested vocals I hear on a lot of stuff. Byrne doesn't bother me when he's got a good song to work with, but he doesn't, always.<br /><br />My own list of un-admirables would include Pink Floyd, who have been leaving me cold for nearly 40 years now. So Roger Waters was psychologically damaged by his childhood. Who wasn't? jbhttp://jabartlett.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
