favorite song/music/singer

[Bandit72]

just wondering

my favorite song is probably folsom prison blues
i listen to mostly country, but i do like some shinedown and linkin park
my favorite singer would have to be johnny cash followed closely by waylon jennings.

[my73charger]

I like Waylon, Cash, Hank, and so on.  But, I am a Lynyrd Skynyrd fan through and through (as some may have gathered).  Nothing better in my opinion than cruising in my 73 Charger with a Skynyrd tune playing.   

Man!  I almost forgot, Charlie Daniels and Molly Hatchet!  They Rock too!!

cracks me up that this J. Cash movie comes out and suddenly everyone is so into Johnny Cash...

[Afflyer]

Seems like every time I get behind the wheel of my Charger, "Red Barchetta" from Rush, starts turnin in my brain!!!

That is how it seems....although I was a Johnny Cash fan long before it became the "in" thing. I was not even born when he was really popular back in the 60's and early 70's. I grew up with a father that listened to Cash, George Jones, and Waylon Jennings so it was a natural. Cash is the main one I like as far as classic country is concerned.

I also like Sheryl Crow, Dwight Yoakham, John Mellencamp, and George Thourogood. Truthfully I jump around a lot and even like The Black Eyed Peas....although Fergie has a lot to do with that.

My favorite song is "Gods Of War" by Def Leppard

I listen to mostly hard rock, but i do like some country.

My favorite singer would have to be Eddie Money or Bryan Adams.

My 3 all time fav. bands in order are; 1)Def Leppard, 2)Victory(German hard rock) 3)Bachman Turner Overdrive.

Has anyone mentioned KISS yet?

[derailed]

Ive got alot of favorite songs but the one that seems to come to mind the most would be Come and Go Blues by the Allman Brothers

[Lowprofile]

Right now, I've got 2 songs always burning in my head.........

Joe Cocker's version of "Unchain my Heart"  &   Boston's  "Peace of Mind".

Oh I don't know.... Cash won a posthumous Grammy last year for his video/song "Hurt". It may have been a build up but he was still making some noise even after death.... 

[ramit]

my favorite singer is Waylon Jennings.  I grew up with my dad listening to waylon and willie on 8 track tapes and now I still listen to them.  I like all types of music though.

[derailed]

I like Waylon to. Him and Johnny Cash and Jerry Reed were about the only 3 country artist I can tolerate

[andy74]

i like all types of music,except rap.my favs depend on my mood,which today being fairly agressive,is rage against the machine,pantera and marilyn manson.when im mellow its usually dwight yokam,willie,george jones, and mixed with cake,bare naked ladies,john lennon,beatles.my music collection blows some peoples minds,such a wide variety,even have some 80s pop,right next to megadeth,alice in chains and my other grunge albums,mixed with the doors,hendrix and some new christmas cd my wife just bought!

[The Ghoul]

If I had to pick just one i would SRV. Odd choice for a 23 year old eh?

[hemihead]

I like a variety of Rock, no Pop or Rap please. I think of none better than Led Zeppelin.I also like Buddy Holly,Def Leppard,April Wine,and Triumph.

If you're a singer, you should be following Claudia Friedlander's blog. The classically-trained, New York-based voice teacher provides sage advice not only for singers for all types, but also for musicians and people in general.

Although at least one of her students sings metal, Friedlander knows virtually nothing about it. I wondered what she would think of some of metal's most classic male singers – the foundation of the artform. It's rare to find someone who isn't familiar with any of these singers. Her perspective would be a fresh one, free of cultural baggage. I sent her five completely unidentified songs. Her comments are below. I have also included initial reactions she sent me immediately upon hearing the singers.

Oh yeah Johnny Cash is/was sensational. Folsom Prison Blues is one of my Cash fave's.

These days it Toby Keith,Sugarland, Lonestar, Carrie Underwood, Trace Adkins, Brad Paisley, Billy Currington, Brooks and Dunn and Little Big Town. (etc etc etc etc etc etc)
Even Mr Strait keeps on pushing em out like there's no tomorrow.

You all produce some great music in the States, especially that southern country rock.
But we got some of our own here too like Keith Urban and Adam Brand...

But, I must say If I had to pick one of my favorite driving songs...My foot can't stop going to the floor and the volume is on 11 when I hear Bruce Springsteen's "RamRod"....

"She's a Hot Steppin' Hemi with a 4 on the floor"..
"She's a roadrunner engine in '32 Ford".. Classic lyrics...
