Singers that give you goosebumps

[jonnyboylennon]

Have you heard the Johnny Cash version of 'One' Sam?

 

[Chesney Christ]

Yeah, I don't think he does it justice though unfortunately.

However that song "Hurt" by Jonny Cash thats been out lately is f***ing ace, even if it was originally written by the shitty Nine Inch Nails.

 

[jonnyboylennon]

I dont think anyone could have done that tune justice really, although Johnny has a good stab at it.


I cant believe you stolen my little 'educated....foot' moniker!


Mind you, if anyone was to have it, I'd want it to be you.... X

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

some muse songs and certainly the manics

 

[Donny Osmond]

Chester Bennington - Linkin Park

 

[Chesney Christ]

I dont think anyone could have done that tune justice really, although Johnny has a good stab at it.

I wanted to put "Educated Right Foot, Illiterate Left" but there wasn't space.

 

[SussexSpur]

Gram Parsons on the Flying Burrito Brothers' "Hot Burrito #1"

Dusty Springfield, "I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten"

John Lennon on the final part of "God"

Joe Pernice on The Pernice Brothers' "Wait To Stop"

Emmylou Harris on pretty much anything

for starters!

 

[Gullet]

Anything by Enya. Wonderful voice.

Also an instrumental track, Lough Erin Shore, by the Corrs always makes me go cold.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

Delirium ft Sarah McClachlan - Silence.

Good call

 

[sams dad]

Bonnie Raitt-I can't make you love me

 

[SussexSpur]

Delirium ft Sarah McClachlan - Silence.
(Live)

Don't know that song but impressed by recent hearings of Sarah Mclachlan - Fallen, and her Beatles cover Blackbird on the I Am Sam soundtrack.

Which part of Barnet? Am a Finchley lad, formerly of the, er, famous QE in the Chipping edge of the borough. . .

 

[Yoda]

Bryan Adams - Run To You.

But something that sends a bigger chill down my spine is hearing Jonathon Pearce sceaming out Storer's name on the radio for the last game at the Goldstone.

 

[kalinski]

Lynn Collins - "Think" and "rock me again, and again and again"

from the JB's albums. Proper soul singer

 

[SussexSpur]

"Moments" by The Kinks - Ray Davies a genius songwriter but not the most versatile singer (and a Gooner to boot) - but oh, what a beautiful song. Even more so than Waterloo Sunset.
One of those tunes I can programme my CD player to play over and over and over without even getting slightly, guiltily, bored of it.
Never mind the fact it's on the soundtrack album to a crappy Seventies "comedy" about Hywel Bennett getting a penis transplant, it really is a beautiful song.

 

[Spearritt of the Albion]

Karen Carpenter - any song - she just had the greatest singing voice ever. Such a pity that she felt so insecure. Obviously some songs are better than others but I just have to hear that voice and my legs turn to jelly.

Also....... Freddie Mercury - what a tragic waste - people said that Queen were on their way out but when you hear some of his final songs the words are just so poignant. Songs like These Are the Days of our Lives, I'm Going Slightly Mad and Too Much Love Will Kill You are Freddie classics.

Then there's Rick Davies of Supertramp great voice but it's probably the memories as well............

 

[Publius Ovidius]

SSpur

Emmylou Harris fan eh?

Did you see her last concert at the Dome ( 1979ish) Her set was so fantastic that when she finished, the cheers were so loud and continuous, that she was overwhelmed and couldn't do an encore!!

Her band were mostly Englisg guys who had formed in teh US.

Luxury Liner..classic album.


Here there and everywhere, by Lennon and McCartney her best.

 

[SussexSpur]

Unfortunately not Dave, not seen her live.
Amazing how good her last few albums have been, though - real new lease of life.
Find her a great vocalist on her own, but the perfect backing singer too - not to downgrade her by any means, but adds so much to, say, songs by the likes of Ryan Adams, Slaid Cleaves, Neil Young, Lucinda Williams, obviously Gram Parsons, etc, sounding like she's hardly trying too!

Queen of country and so much more.
Her duets with Gram Parsons are heartbreaking. Love the more swaggering likes of Two More Bottles Of Wine and You Never Can Tell, too. . .

 

[Hilton]

I think Alison Goldfrapp (of Goldfrapp) is a pant wettingly good singer!

]

She's amazing!! Brilliant couple of albums too!

 

[Bwian]

Good thread Lush!

Not in order of preference

and just for starters:

Marianne Faithful-Ballad of Lucy Jordan
Meatloaf-Paradise by the dashboard light
Lucinda Williams-Righteously
Roxy Music-Avalon
Nat 'King' Cole-Mona Lisa
Frankie-Theme from New York, New York

Damn...there's hundreds do it for me!

 

[jmc]
