Surprised talk of female leads and no one mentions Candy Slice

And at risk of derailing this thread further, great female artists most people have never heard of, if you watched the Black Oak Arkansas video you saw Ruby Starr. I 'discovered' her the way I found artists back in the 70's. Buy an album by looking at the cover and reading liner notes. She never really hit it big, but has a great voice.

A couple of names you mentioned popped out: Michael Hutchence I could not agree more. Tragic story, INXS figured prominently in The Lost Boys soundtrack, Good Times with Jimmy Barnes classic three chords and a cloud of dust rock and roll. Don’t Change is a song I have always loved, one can only wonder what might have been. Belinda Carlisle I absolutely love her voice. I will occasionally endure the songs just to listen to her sing. Oddly enough just had this conversation with Gonzo, a lot of female acts with music that I can’t stand, but I will listen just to hear them sing. A current act comes to mind is Little Big Town. I love the harmonies and how their voices work together, but find the music/songwriting to be boring, predictable, top 40. This is of course a different conversation and I apologize for steering the thread in another direction. I’ll be honest, with these PPP loans and their impossible timelines my wife working at home having to process them, I’ve spent the better part of the last three nights listening to music on YouTube with my ear pods.

Tough to argue with the frontman from the World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band. When asking this question I think several factors have to come together, longevity, being more than a lead singer, more than a cult following, etc. For me it is, was, and will always be Mick, and it’s not open to debate. Irishman and have had this debate in the past, I will concede Freddy Mercury is probably in the conversation, but being the targeted demographic when Queen was in their prime, I never cared for their music. At the risk of offending a new generation of Queen fans since the movie came out, my thoughts are similar to Slim Pickens in Blazing Saddles when he caught his boys trying to teach his workmen to teach the hired help to sing. I recorded Live Aid in it’s entirety on cassette tape and when I edited it down to a copy of just music, Queen was left on the cutting room floor. Bob I figured you to be a Lizard King guy, probably in the conversation as well, but to me The Doors have some music that stand the test of time, but most of it just gets dated and stale to me. When LA Woman comes on the radio, I will NEVER not turn it up and sing along. This vid features what I think is one of the best guitar intros ever, although live it gets really obscure, as well as one of the best back up singers in the biz, Lisa Fisher.

Trying to find things to occupy my mind and relieve the boredom, all while sheltering in place. So, who is the greatest “front man” in rock & roll history? Share your thoughts and, if possible, maybe a YouTube clip or something. For me, call me “old school,” but it’s pretty hard to get beyond Jagger.

I’m a bigger fan of Cornell’s solo work than his stuff with Soundgarten.

There are some who are also great guitar players who don't get much attention, but they're probably more known as "Blues". Susan Tedeschi, Samantha Fish and Orianthi.

Female fronted rock bands seem to be very short lived for some reason. Can't even think of 1 that 'made it' for a decade. Eurythmics, Blondie, Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, just didn't stick around. The Pretenders with Chrissy Hinde probably the most successful, but who knows what would have happened if Janis Joplin had lived?

I could not have stated it better IO as far as current female voices go. Mine is Lady Antebellum. Hillary Scott has an amazing voice. A couple of their songs are typical pop/country; cheesy, but her vocals make them worth listening to. Need You Now comes to mind immediately. As good as she is, the dude is just average.....sounds too much like so many other male singers in current Country. That said, their tribute to Kenny Rogers is phenomenal. enjoy

This isn’t geared towards you Boilerfan - but this phrasing irritates me. ‘Discussions are taking place about school not starting on time. Perhaps not until after Labor Day.’ I will add I bet discussions are also including not starting until January. That’s my irritation. The media especially is reporting these discussions as that is what we THINK will happen and not what they really are - contingency plans. I’m 90% confident we will start school on time this fall. But my school is still making plans for a 2 week, 4 week, half semester and full semester delay plans. To not have a ‘discussion’ about a potential plan until August 1 would be irresponsible. I’m sure there are football coaches having discussions about a goal line wishbone package right now. The media would pick up this info and report it as ‘Team X is having discussions on being 90% run next year.’ We will be back in the fall. A failure to plan for the slimmest chance we won’t would be poor academic leadership. That’s all these ‘discussions’ are.

Also not mentioned yet is John Fogerty. Originally a 'front man'. Just a pure genius now. Still going strong.

Sure I can. But if I had to make a choice, I'd put Sammy in front. He's done a lot more than his time in Van Halen. And I always thought DLR was attempting to be Jim Dandy. I never really cared for Van Halen with either singer. I thought their music was "forced". I did love Sammy's Montrose stuff, and Chickenfoot has some great songs. And who can argue with great tequila? I will tend to agree with the initial post, though, Jagger has to be number 1, anyone else is just a matter of personal preference.

If I were Seymour, I would hire someone off of Columbus East staff. I would imagine they have a lot of good Asst coaches and the proximity to Seymour is a fit so they may not need to relocate. I was always an advocate of hiring HCs that had considerable HC experience, but seeing how good a job coach Bragg has done being elevated from an Asst, has made me like going that route now as well. Seymour has shown recently that they have enough good talent to compete in the HHC. Just need the right guy that will stick.

YES Team was picked and the participates were notified This happened prior to March 19th

I’m currently watch Rolling Thunder Revue on Netflix, I highly recommend such endeavors over pandemic discussion on CNN and political campaigns which are on hold indefinitely.

Freddie Mercury and its not even close.. His performance at live aide. Wow.

Great one DE

I would have bet nothing could exceed the ineptness of the GOP, but I was wrong. To go through the year long publicity stunt that was the impeachment process, and the best the Dems could come up with is Sleepy Joe? Somehow, the American political process has mutated so that it now operates to de-select any person of substance as a viable candidate.

Similar to a number of viruses. AIDS for example. People may have multiple complications due to having it, so it may be the cause of death, but often times, the cause of death is AIDS related illness or complications; with pneumonia being the most common cause. A lawyer friend put it best. In the legal world, if you shoot someone who is falling off the roof; even though the fall would have caused them to die any way, you are still charged with murder for shooting him.

I would argue just that. And sorry, for some reason I referred to you as psaboy in my previous post.
