I always loved Queen growing up and their Greatest Hits CD (you know the one) was a staple for me. I watched the movie a couple of weeks ago and saw someone mention the depravity of Freddie in the Bohemian Rhapsody thread. That piqued my curiosity and I had to find out more.
So I finally decided to go on a Freddie Mercury tear. Among other things, I ended up watching a video on Youtube by Polyphonic, attempting to explain the things that made his voice so legendary.
That got me thinking about which voice would be the GOAT for me. I kept thinking about the times my mind was blown or voices that made me want to cry or gave me goosebumps. I remembered being dumbfounded the first time I heard the crazy Mongolian Khoomei stuff. You know, shit like that.
I still don't know my personal "greatest voice of all time," but GODDAMN, does this Lizzie Higgins lady singing this song come close:
If you feel like it, share your GOATs. What voice/song stirs that something "ancient" up in you and makes you all kinds of weird emotional? :-) [Reply]

OMG, that whole album gets me. Just awesome. Here's one from that album that I really love, I mean...it's about a friggin' dog but it's just fantastic:
this chick was straight fire BITD. she did meatloafs bat outta hell, then 2 of her own albums. and she played opposite John Larroquette in Night Court.
Watched an Alice Cooper documentary a couple years back, and this song was in it and played during a portion of a Cooper concert wherein Alice kissed a girl in the front row. Was haunting
Elton wrote it about a lesbian that died in the streets, though i guess, not Alice Cooper. [Reply]

When I think of albums I can listen to start to finish and love every song From The Inside is in that mix. [Reply]
