GUEST,An English Patriot Why is a singer one of your favorites? (65* d) RE: Why is a singer one of your favorites? 23 Sep 04


Why do so many people, who otherwise show signs of good taste, like Tom Waites? I think his style of singing is affected and put on. Some, and only some, of his songs are fine but sound better when covered by someone else.

As for my favourite, well, that is a difficult one, even if you narrow it down to folk. Certainly, Dick Gaughan has a wonderful, wonderful voice and is a truly wonderful guitar player. On the negative side, his song writing is mediocre and I am sick to death of him shoving his political views down our throats, especially as his sort of totalitarian socialism advocates state terror. But his voice.... now that is something.
