Thursday 13

13 voices that I like in my ear (in the order they come to mind)

1. Dave Matthews
2. Bruce Springsteen
3. Elvis Costello
4. Sinead O'Connor
5. Harry Connick Jr.
6. Bono
7. Trent Reznor
8. Peter Murphy
9. Peter Gabriel
10. Frank Sinatra
11. Melissa Etheridge
12. David Gahan
13. Tori Amos

Okay, let's analyze...Now though many of my favorite artists are up there, not all my favorite artists are up there. There has to be that quality of wanting the sound of the voice in my ear. It's different than wanting to listen to their music and it's not to say that they have better quality music than others. This list was just all about the voice.

A perfect example would be the lack of Prince... Love prince... But it's more about his lyrics and music and arrangement than it is about his voice that makes me like him. I listen to a lot of Black 47 but Larry Kirwin just doesn't have that voice quality that is list worthy. Major points for the Irish accent, but...sorry.

Let's see...
One list-worthy voice is deceased.

I've seen six perform live.

Countries of birth: 1 South Africa, 2 Ireland, 4 England, and 6 U.S.

Two guys named David

Two guys named Peter

Definitely a preponderance of men. Only three women. Oooh Fiona Apple, she has a great really interesting voice but,alas, she didn't come to mind 'till now.

Oh you know I'm going to wake up at 4 a.m. and be like "I can't believe I forgot..."

Anyway, that is my Thursday 13...Thank you and goodnight.
