Who is the greatest singer of all time?
« on: February 28, 2005, 04:53:51 PM »
Obviously I'm not talking way back into opera times, more like 1950's onward.

I've gotta go with Freddie Mercury from Queen. That man had an incredible voice, he could switch notes repeatedly. He had a great band and wrote great songs, but that voice...wow.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

Marvin Gaye seems to be a good choice, but itīs impossible to pick just one of course. I like Mercury too

This ainīt no board about singers man, itīs dubcc, str8 rap. Itīs incredible how that gay ass faggot keeps coming up with junk topics. First The Beatles, now this. And people who got da nigga Eazy in their sig bother to respond and give props! Whatīs this world come to...so you rather listen to some weak "We Will Rock You" than to your favorite MCīs? I mean, whatīs that shit compared to

1. Frank Sinatra
2. Freddie Mercury
3. Elton John
Well she moved in ways
That kept her there in our minds for days
Weeks and months it was
I was that amazed and there she stays
Surrounded by the what-ifs and the maybes
