Artists you like but you don't know why...
 
Mine would have to be David Bowie. He can't sing particularly well, I don't understand most of his lyrics and I usually don't go for music out of my own generation... but there's just something about his music that makes me listen.

Listen to his falseto vocals on Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust, Station To Station and other 70s stuff.... Then his great tenor vocals on Let's Dance and a lot of his 80s work.... He's no Freddie Mercury but he still has a pretty impressive vocal range, being able to go from high to low like that... And i agree with Urban, he has one of the most unique voices around, not a bad singer at all.

Urban Hat€monger ? 05-06-2006 07:24 PM

I would say Fairport Convention.

Had you said to me a few years back i`ll be listening to a band who wrote old English folk rock with a female vocallist I would have laughed in your face.

Yet they`re strangly compelling

littleknowitall 05-06-2006 07:36 PM

Yeah, I said Modest Mouse too. I mean, sometimes his voice makes me want to kill puppies. But the songs sure are catchy and fun.

I'm not saying he doesn't have a distinctive voice. I haven't heard the songs that Boo Boo mentioned, but from what I've heard (and I have heard a lot) then I wouldn't say he is brilliant. Yes, he does have a distinctive voice but then so does Alex Turner and everyone hates the Arctic Monkeys. I think David Bowie is brilliant and is one of my main musical inspirations, but I just can't understand why I like his music so much.

Actually, those were albums that i referenced, not songs.

TrampInaTux 05-07-2006 03:27 AM

Oh yeah sorry... I should have realised from Hunky Dory. Now I feel stupid.

You're being sarcastic, right?

TrampInaTux 05-07-2006 11:32 AM

No. Well, a lot of people like Arctic Monkeys but on this forum the general verdict is that they are ****.
