There are some amazing things on that album. Especially Turned the Corner.

JonSnow said:

the "rising mixes" ep is fantastic as well.

lilgish said:

Yes yes yes - the Plastic Ono Band album has some of the finest singing ever committed to tape. Mother and God are the standouts.

The Beatles - Oh Darling - anyone who dares to slam McCartney as a soul-less wimp ought to be forced to listen to this loud.

The tramp from Gavin Bryar's Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet

The Fall - Cruiser's Creek - because, despite all the imitators over the years, nobody has ever tunelessly ranted as well as this.

Hank Williams - I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry.

I was just listening to that today, and man, did that mystery White Boy have soul!

lilgish said:

I beg to differ. But reasonable minds can disagree. Michael is an incomparable singer, but no one delivers it with the soul that Bill does.

"Just to Keep You Satisfied" - Marvin Gaye (you ssssset my sssssoul on fire...my one desire...)
"Muse 2 The Pharaoh" - Prince (his voice is so rich, crisp and pure on this track)
"Village Ghetto Land" - Stevie (the nearly emotionless delivery lays the subject matter bare and makes it even more painful)

Got to think of more...

Hmmmmm...I would give this one to Mike, and "Just The Two Of Us" would be a favorite vocal performane by Billy Boy... just my
