Johnny Cash, Hurt.
That was awesome! Thank you!
Orchestra? Sorry, not rock. This is rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDACorlaxNw Pantera – Domination(Official Live Video)
Just in case.

A few years ago you posted a version of this, around 2:30 a little boy is walking down the steps in his house and he just reminds of my boys. To think a little kid loses his dad is kind of heartbreaking.

Tough life for the good cops!
Oh thank god it wasn’t meatloaf.

Green Onions.
That song has been sung to death since my teenage years. Jesus could sing it and I’d still tune it out. I have no alternative song – but am submitting an opinion because I’m wagering I’m not alone. I don’t listen to much vocal music anymore.
Peter Marino of 80s criminally underrated rock band Le Mans just smokes on this gem. I bet Mr. Pinko would love this! 🥳

Best voice.

One of my personal “classics” and all-time S & G favorites, which for me is absolutely impossible to grade and/or compare against many, many other versions, interpretations, orchestrations and, on and on into infinity. It’s MUSIC! Not a baseball game with winners and losers, or who’s better than the other after the final inning. But, then again, sometimes equal…only to be decided after some future game or contest.
Something that is intrinsically and lifelong, personally emotional, which brings back time-stamped memories that remain yours and yours alone…and, to no one else in the entire Universe…for a lifetime (if God and Nature permit).
No, I cannot compare, judge, and issue a value statement. It is like an individual human being with no one else in the Universe that is not unique and has a reproducible exact copy of him or herself throughout this unending, apparently recyclable, Expanse.
Sorry, guys, I cannot give a final answer, only that it is one of my favorites and I could listen to hundreds of permutations, alterations, other versions, other songs, and yet always come up with my only conclusion: it is unique, unlike any other musical works except its own uniqueness unto itself as an incomparable work of art that I personally cherish, along with many other musical works of art. And, this is coming from someone who has played and/or taught and composed tunes, songs, and originals, as well as, composing/arranging long orchestral scores throughout a lifetime, predominately by earning a living through creating and playing music….ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……….HEY!..…WAKE UP!!!!….WAKE-UP!
So, there’s that.
Gotta have some WHO…

Of course Queen at Live Aid in 1985 is considered the Gold Standard of LIVE performance in front of billions.
Hard to disagree.

At 123 million views evidently they agree with me that this version of Stairway to Heaven is indeed epic…

I’m thinking the Righteous Brothers at least deserve an honorable mention.

This Disturbed guy is a little too slow and serious for me. I’ll take the original S & G version, thank you.
Looky there
Tranny Wheels
Thanks Santa!!!

horrible song, ok voice.
For Easter:

Loco posted it…..Queen at Live Aid. Freddy was the best front man in rock. Period.
Damn, how the HELL did I forget this one!!!
F U ah UU U C K !!!
Let’s venture back to Summer of 1977 when absolutely NONE of the bullshit we have to deal with today even existed… Sigh*
Girl were beautiful damn!

The best female vocal of all time, Joan Osborne

As for the best male it would have to be Freddie or Elvis.
Dire Straits… 10 minutes of chill

Nicely done but, ever year of a guy named Sam Cooke?
Back in their prime, there were no better rockers than these guys. I saw them live the same year this was recorded. Blessed with 3 very good lead singers and fabulous musicians all. Jimi Hendrix once named their lead guitarist “Best Guitarist in the Universe.”

She Talks To Angels. Piano version.
This is only the sound, which is amazing. I saw it years ago, but haven’t been able to find it since.

General M I hear you, I listen to our local FM and I hear the latest pop hits like that award winner ? by Harry Styles As it Was or some such it is CRAP! laughable I only listen for the weather and local news
Never was a Simon & Garfunkel fan but know all the words because it was played so often on the radio when it was new.
The band was wonderful.
We’ve seen some great live shows I liked better.
Barney – the multimate bess singer of all times
For emotional impact I’ll put Gary Jules rendition of ‘Mad World” used on “Donnie Darko”. The performance is so good I went and rented the movie to see what it was about; it didn’t totally suck.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4
Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” lands the hardest impact of them all, though.
Procol Harum’s Gary Brooker’s Whiter Shade of Pale.
One of the greatest voices IMO.
Huh? hahahaha
I agree about “Disturbed” best ever! However, I also like this rendition, it’s a group not a solo singer. The Pentatonix’s:

There’s always this guy….

this bass version is pretty ngood too

Freddie Mercury & Queen @ Live Aid: Wembley
This seems oddly appropriate on Holy Saturday. Like a modern hymn of the lost apostles, wandering aimlessly after the death of their teacher and leader, wondering what it was all about, trusting no one and nothing, not even their own faith. Not fitting in anywhere, walking alone and paranoid through a world that just shifted under them, not knowing it would change even more dramatically tomorrow morning.
Art really nailed it with Bridge Over Troubled Water at the concert in CP. Best concert I ever saw. Could it really be 40 years already??

Bobby Hatfield singing Unchained Melody live on The Andy Williams Show back in the 60’s.

80’s pretty boys 😉 Some good crooners back then.

I liked John Wetton’s voice from UK. Greg Lake ELP. Freddie Mercury. Chris Cornell. David Coverdale. Sting. etc….

I’m shocked no one has mentioned Hocus Pocus by Focus.
I’ll be mocked but Nickleback Sharp Dressed Man 2007 tribute to ZZ Top

Bobby Hatfield, unchained melody. Everything else is second at best.
