Location: Campbell River, British Columbia | Darby may be like The Feelies....you had to be there.
But I almost forgot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yahBtp_1jWE
and Chilliwack. If Chilliwack hadn't been caught up in the Mushroom Records fiasco (several bands careers were put on hold while they went broke. I think Heart left just in time to avoid the mess.) Brian 'Too Loud' MacLeod wouldn't have had to form The Headpins to keep busy.
Bill Henderson; In The Collectors, Chilliwack, and U.H.F. has had an extensive career. Try and get a listen to the song 'Golan Boys' by U.H.F. (Ulrich, Henderson, Forbes....the Canadian idea of a supergroup) |

damon, brandi is quite good. never heard of her. in her other clip, turpentine ,
she looks alot like karen carpenter and sounds like a cross between bonnie raitt and shania twain.
Too bad she uses Taylors.
Her last album was produced by T Bone Burnett. I like his other big release last year too, Raising Sand (Robert Plant and Alison Krauss) |

Allison Crowe does a very good cover too. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I was thinking Brandi Carlisle, too. Damon, just do the Story starting with an A and add a 7th. I think theres an E, B minor and D and that's about it. She uses a capo and jumps an octave on most every verse, but I can't do that. She just played here, but I missed her. |

I'll have to try that one out, though I'd have a hard time trying to sing along.
Mark, I didn't realize you knew Brandi's stuff. I guess she's not such a local gal these days. Funny, just a year ago I saw her at a tiny local venue (Century Ballroom), then at the Zoo as well. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | The Story got a lot of play nationally. I could tell because several people had already posted tabs of it shortly after I heard it for the first time on the radio. Nice song and great voice. I like the emotion she puts into it.
I was listening to it on the radio and thought that it was one of those easy intros that I could pick up in a couple minutes. I was right for a change.
Back to the topic, I'd have to sing lead in any band I was in. Not that I have a great voice, but it's good enough and I can't seem to sing harmony as well as I used to. A good female lead singer adds another level to a band, but if the band gets known for that, then it goes back to one level. Bands like the Eagles did a good job of spreading the lead parts around. Then it always seems like the egos get in the way and they fight over who is "The" lead singer. |

Location: NJ | Speaking of the Eagles, last week Don Felder came out with a book "Heaven&Hell" about his time with the Eagles and how ultimately got "fired" by Henley/Frye (at the time, he was an "equal partner" in the Eagles "empire", while Walsh/Schmidt were "employees".
He was on NPR and on Stern last week, as well.
He alluded to how much of a total c@nt Henley eventually turned into . . .
Interesting interview(s), and sounds like a really good book. |

Location: CA | Damon — question wasn't about who had great pipes, it was who you'd want as a frontman. I personally think both of those guys had great voices, and lots of stage presence. Of course, I'd be happy to back anybody up if I could make a living at it. |

| Your right Oddball
I forgot Daultry.
What was I thinking
And yeah my first list included Jon Anderson........perhaps my favorite singer but not the front man Daultry or Plant or Tyler are. Good point.
Gabriel is too cool for school though and I still have him at the top of the list. |

Y'all can say I "caved" by listing "contenders" but, still, I chose Michael Stipe.
Others have also declared their singular choice...
The rest of you NambiePambies (my new band name?) listing multiple choices is a cop-out. |
