3 Voices I Can’t Stand
…and I’m talking about singing voices, not (say) political screeching like that of Hillary Clinton.
When these guys start singing, I hit the Mute or Skip buttons:
- Bob Dylan (any song except Lay Lady Lay, which I can get at least halfway through before hitting click)
- Steve Tyler (Aerosmith; Dream On is the most egregious offender)
- Van Morrison (Brown-Eyed Girl… OMFG kill me now, but everything he sings is horrible)
And let’s not forget the chicks:
- Joni Mitchell (I’d rather listen to blackboard fingernails ad infinitum than any one of her songs)
- Joan Baez (preachy bullshit, and that vibratissimo… ugh)
- early Dolly Parton (until she stopped warbling and started singing)
Don’t get me started on the modern chick singers; you all know about them.
Today’s Earworm
Actually, Jimmy Cliff was on my mind when I went to bed last night, and was still there when I woke up this morning.

Lady Grinning Soul, complete with the greatest piano accompaniment in rock music.
Saturday Listening
Here’s a slightly different take on the usual “best of” compilations. In this case, it’s “album tracks” / B sides from the 1970s. The fact that some of the songs are instantly recognizable just shows how much good stuff there was. (Crap like Mr. Bloe aside, that is.)
And yes, if you want some more of the same, here it is. And one more time…

Black River Swamp. NO IDEA where that came from.
