Seriously, read the last three pages of the Jimi Hendrix thread and you'll get why this one was started as a joke.

demonrail, you might want to check your private messages, there's a surprise for you. I believe fifteen days have not elapsed yet.

musicfallinglikesnow 06.06.2007 05:01 PM

Nah, Nico is the best singer ever.

Yeah, I know. I thought my response was quite funny.

demonrail666 06.06.2007 05:21 PM

My bad. Sorry!

MellySingsDoom 06.06.2007 05:33 PM

Bah....

I know Jim Morrison. Trust me. I talk to him every day, and I can SCIENTIFICALLY prove that he has my blessing to be thee greatest singer. Ever. End of.

DON'T try and question me. I and ONLY I am truly objective.

I have spoken.

He at least did the second best version of "Gloria" ever.

I basically agree, but he did write "Horse Latitudes" which is a great poem. Unlike his supposed "poetry album" American Prayer which is embarrasingly stupid.

pbradley 06.07.2007 12:57 AM

I've always wanted to steal a shit load of towls from Morrison Hotel. Is that place still around?

pbradley 06.07.2007 01:14 AM

haha, like hell I'm gonna fly to Ireland for some towels

I'll try to ask my roommate from LA about the original

SynthethicalY 06.07.2007 02:38 AM

Come on baby light my fire...

Kegmama not all gays move to San Fran, they also move to west hollywood.

MellySingsDoom 06.07.2007 03:20 AM

^^^...and some of "us" moved to London. Hell yeah.

SynthethicalY 06.07.2007 03:21 AM

And the village in New York.

atsonicpark 06.07.2007 04:34 AM

there are no best singers ever.the person with the voice i like the most is rick froberg from pitchfork/drive like jehu/hot snakes.

pbradley 06.07.2007 04:50 AM

The Doors movie is on right now. What a coinkidink.

sonicl 06.07.2007 04:56 AM

Blixa Bargeld is a considerably less technically able singer than Jim Morrison, but I'd rather listen to him any day.

WHOREOHSCOPE 06.07.2007 05:02 AM

totally. :D

demonrail666 06.07.2007 05:20 AM

According to the rules of judgement laid out in my pocket essentials guide to the best singers in the world ever, the five best ... ever ... are, in order mind you:

1. Mario Lanza
2. Henry Rollins
3. Enya
4. Dave Grohl
5. Lady Sovereign

So, that's THAT cleared up then.

pbradley 06.07.2007 05:24 AM

Uh, fuck Henry Rollins. Sorry.

sonicl 06.07.2007 05:25 AM

Lady Sov has terrible diction, so cannot be a good singer.

And Henry Rollins is a shouter, not a singer. He wouldn't last five minutes on "Any Dream Will Do".

frades 06.07.2007 09:47 AM

jim morrison was a great singer as in the song "LA WOMAN" but what do you think of "LA WOMAN" as an album?

The album is great except for "the wasp".
