FRIDAY



Who said soul singers cannae rock?

Jumpin' Jack Flash -


:o)

"You call that a lining?"

Springsteen, Bowie, Daltrey all fantastic. But we need a singing drummer I suspect:

Karen Carpenter - Rainy days and Mondas

Wanna buy a flag?
Just put your donation in the tin!

I could suggest many many many wonderful vocalists. Before black people got lazy and started rapping they had some of the most wonderful voices around.

Would they sound good with the current GIO band? Stuart adamson and Lemmy?

Erm......

#5
Yup, chemistry is everything as is the venue! Jello Biafra ~ Viva Las Vegas

#3

I'll settle for a singing woman.


Proud to Be a Honky Woman - Elkie Brooks ~

FRIDAY



Stay With Me, Baby -


My very favourite rendition of this classic song.

I'd settle for a quick roll of the skins!















We still need a drummer... what did you think I meant?

#9

Oor Frankie!


Love Letter -

Ladies and Gentlemen, please put your hands together for The Dead Parots,

Boy George - Church Of The Poisoned Mind - Culture Club with

Eddie Kendricks - Keep On Truckin with

Jocelyn Brown - Something's Going On ( Todd Terry featuring Jocelyn Brown) with

Loletta Holloway - Like A Prayer and...


that's the backing singers....

out front we need:

Janelle Monae - Cold War and

Paul Weller - Walls Come Tumbling Down (The Style Council).. plus special guest appearance James Carr.. At The Dark End Of The Street

Support band:

Ladyhawke - Magic ( this is magic, and Pip could easily be our lead singer, pipped, so to speak by Janelle - in fact, anyone of them would be great).

regardez youse

henri.

great suggestion, I also go for

Love Letters - Frankie Miller

:0)

#12 refers to #10

Tom Jones - Funny Familiar, Forgotten Feelings
Scott Walker - No Regrets

or why not

Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - Gone, Gone, Gone

the average age of the 'supergroup' is now over 70.

Going on tour won't cost them too much then.

#13

I was gonna ask for Melanie, but didn't wanna upset you.

>8-D

Hello, 2nd blog...i am getting brave.....i know that the usual suspect will be mentioned....Freddie Mercury, Bono, Chris Martin, Sting....how about a few other voices like, Shane from Westlife, Gary Lightbody from Snow Patrol, Guy Garvie from Elbow or Paul Buchanan from The Bluenile....

Shane....Westlife....World of your own

Gary....Snow Patrol...|Just Say Yes,

Guy...Elbow...One Day Like This

Paul...The Bluenile....Stay or Headlights on the Parade....

What this band needs is a man who defies convention, who is influental, has stage presence, can carry a tune, is not fazed by ego. A man who the more you ignore the closer he gets....this band needs:

Morrissey!!!

It is frankly mr shankly, obvious.

Morrissey - Last Of The International Playboys

Morrissey - You Have Killed Me

Morrissey - The More You Ignore Me, The Clsoer I Get

encore I hear you shout, ok

Morrissey - First Of The Gang

Morrissey - Every Day Is Like Sunday

more ! more! etc

Oh for the love of Christ! Dan McCafferty & Hair Of The Dog.

#18

welcome back, daddyrugbytaxi!

big 2nd for the Blue nile.

the band is such a mess of styles I decided to put up a strong soul/disco flavour just to really mix it up.

Apart from an outright crooner - Engelbert - or the totally ludicrous, little Jimmy Osmond, it was hard to know who could lead this lot... let's face it, Ray Jackson isn't going to work with Rod Stewart again...

regardez vous

henri

Ian Gillan
'Woman From Tokyo' - Deep Purple

Trouble

Raphael Saadiq...Maria from Stirling...I'm with you... I do like a singer in a sharp suit...

Let's Take A Walk

'Day Dreams'

#16 it would only upset me if I thought she really was a sheep in distress.

Spike from

The Quireboys - Man on the Loose

Justin Hawkins from

The Darkness - Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time

or since the group's such a crazy mix who better than the

Sensational Alex Harvey - Next

I've got it!

Captain Beefheart - Abba Zaba

Oi Oi!...Ian Dury...he chose to play the fool in a six piece band...'What A Waste'

Trouble - Ray La Montagne
Dream to sleep - H20 (Ian Donaldson)
Moonlight shadow - Maggie Reilly
Be here to love me - Norah Jones
Crossfire - Brandon Flowers
Blessed - Brett Anderson
Girls talk - Linda Ronstadt
Alison - Elvis Costello

Joe
Linlithgow

Henri...thanks for the welcome....

courage of my convictions and say...if " a large wave crashed against the shore which disc would i save ?"....

Tinseltown in the Rain..........the best ever......and i have many

Come on we need a rock chick
Stevie Nicks - Go your own way
Debbie Harry - Denis denis
Pattie Smith - Because the night
Chrissie Hynd - Brass in pocket

and if this lot are too young Lulu - anything but Shout!

Crash Test Dummies - Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm

Always remember this when it came out due to Brad Roberts singing in such a low voice that seemed different from any of the other pop that was out at the time.

Barry White - You Are The First, My Last, My Everything
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

and just so it's not all guys

Kate Rusby - Planets

Only one singer can complete this line-up:

If it's over the top that you want:

The Tubes - What Do You Want From Life? (Fee Waybill)

#23


Is Julie conversing with the Dark Side?

Should we be telt?


;o)

FRIDAY


I love Jennifer Nettles...

Steve Earle -


Or you can play it just coz it's brilliant!

:o)

#15 but think of the health insurance....

#33
Mebbe.

Looks like we've lost Mary Doll to the F***bookers which is a shame.

For his range alone:


"You've Lost That Loving Feeling" - Elvis

happy new year ivvereebuddy.

i've only got one criteria for a lead singer.

they shouldnae mumble/shout/preach/be pretentious/be a male.

ok so for the other 50%

they shouldnae mumble/shout/preach/be pretentious/be a rock chick(whitever that is)

ok so that leaves 1.
for it is she of the beautiful voice.
the one who sings like she knows what singing is meant to be.
listen to this and her voice defines what 'pop' should sound like.
her songs can be listened to in any environment....the car, the hoose, daein the hooverin' , anything at all.
but whenever i hear her voice i always stop and pause and reflect.

out of all the songs she sings i think this one is my bestie.
its the sharpest 3 minutes of american social history of the 60's on record.
and yet i've never heard it played on radio.


the greatest singer ever to grace any pop song.

'safe in my garden'.....................cass elliot (with family back up..her mamas and papas)

cheers frae the dale

A strong female singer is what's needed:

Lucinda Williams - Can't Let Go

#36

How can you tell?

#40 They're up to their armpits in bubbles ☺

SG I saw sugar land live. Jennifer Nettles is the best female front band person I've ever seen. Bar none. Plus she is very pretty. And funny. Great shout.

Well, that's Bob Holness away. Yet another outlived by Megrahi. The deaths go on.

#34/42

I've never been that big on country, but Jennifer Nettles could turn your head: a spirited girl. It dawned on me that she looks like Cameron Diaz -but prettier. She's very funny and should be a cert for tonight's show. Well done, Mr Git.

regardez - youse

henri

did the Hollies not sing a song about her?


I vote for Vera Lynn as singer in the band. She takes the average age nicely up to 80.

Des O'Connor a "Rock Star"?

Shurely shome mishtake

Hello Hello
I am not sure I have already mentioned female vocalist Johnette NAPOLITANO [CONCRETE BLONDE]
'Tomorrow Wendy' ; 'Heal it up' ; 'Caroline'; Bloodletting' ; 'True'
or Sarah BETTENS (K's CHOICE)
'Not an addict'; "Everything for free'; 'God in my bed'; 'Always everywhere'

Taasha Coates from The Audreys
Everything they've done is great but If I had to choose, Paradise City or Susanne.
Australian Band, costs a fortune to import CDs but it's worth it
