I remember a colleague at work who complained about the start of one particular track as being especially 'noisy'. He clearly couldn't hear the 'noise' as waves breaking on the shore. :doh:Quote:

:) Yes I know the track your referring to... I suppose it can sound a bit like vinyl noise when played at low volume - no such issue here as I had the house to myself and had volume adjusted accordingly ;) Though I think I am due a fresh copy, I bought this secondhand and it's not the best condition wise.Quote:

Always liked "Don't Fear the Reaper", but have no idea what the rest of their songs are like.
Classed as Hardrock, some material is but some of it more akin to Alice C. IMO. I saw them live in Southampton and extremely good they were https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/blue-...-43db5b67.htmlQuote:

I think you'd probably enjoy them, this one is a good starting pointing. the 1st three albums are good as well, maybe less commercial.
I regard Blue Öyster Cult as AOR, no more, no less.
yeah, they were one of the better bands that came ofter the greats. weren't as successful as they should have beenQuote:

No, I'm not keen - although I have albums by all the participants except Orbison who I've never rated.Quote:

It's not always about the voice though - if you don't care for that type of music, the best voice in the world isn't going to save it.
I feel the same about Mary J. Blige, who I think has an incredible voice. Dubbed "The Queen of Hip Hop", and "Queen of Soul/R&B", she's never going to make it into my record collection. Be nice if she moved into another genre, say rock - the version of U2's "One" with her doing guest vocals is so much better than the one with just Bono.
Let's not forget about the music guys !!! :thumbsup:Quote:

She performed it brilliantly in the cult movie Strange Days.
Having now watched the video you sent, I don't consider that is a rock song; I actually quite like the song and the girl performs it quite well :thumbsup: but its simply NOT a rock song.Quote:

Try the albums 'Dreamboat Annie', 'Dog & Butterfly' or "Little Queen' all by Heart, albums that rock with some great female vocals IMHO.Quote:

Patti Smith is as much a rock singer as she is a punk poet.Quote:

'Horses' is the only one of hers worth having IMO but that is very good. Yes she's a rock singer, I mean punk was just simple three chord blues rock played faster anyway.Quote:

I have the first three of her LPs. Love both 'Horses' and 'Easter', but don't think 'Radio Ethiopia' is as good.Quote:

Great album - being as I haven't played this in quite a while, I thought I'd give this a spin myself after seeing your post about it. It seems I've joined the legions of fans of women solo artists on here.............. only for the odd album, NOT consistently !!! Maybe I'm starting to grow old !!! :scratch: :lol:Quote:
