Why is that? And why would you be sorry? I think Brians vocals are fantastic and i always liked their compositions. They are one of those bands that has great cross over appeal in many genres ala Talking Heads. They truly have an original sound that is distinctly their own also. Great band.
well, husky male voices aren't my cup of tea. but that's just me. i want a vocalist that has that clear tone when they sing.

Have you even listened to Roxy Music? Bryan Ferry has the exact kind of voice you are describing. He doesn't have a husky baritone/bass range, he sings in tenor and does it quite well. Be honest you've never heard Roxy right?

he obviously hasn't, or bothered to check up a youtube

it's more of his usual spammiing/trolling

Are you referring to Manifesto and Avalon or their first two albums? (Self titled and For Your Pleasure)

Howard the Duck 06-17-2011 03:02 AM
well i like the artsy glam rock of the debut and For Your Pleasure, because of the Eno treatments

without Eno, I can only tolerate the smoother disco-ish Roxy of Manifesto or the laconic easy listening of Avalon

Just out of curiousity what do you think of Stranded?

i don't like it much

some songs are just screechy unbearable - Street Life

most sound mediocre

only about one song is good - A Song for Europe

i thought the similar sounding Siren was much better - it at least has the stellar Both Ends Burning
