How about Pink?? I think she does some awesome vocal work. Especially live... I don't really get into her music much but I have to give her props for her singing talent.
Pink is very self spoofing and tongue in cheek. I also give her props for not taking herself too seriously. She does have a powerful voice.
Any number of blonde, young, glamorous women in Country music. I wish that Country would stop worrying about how good a woman looks while barely wearing clothes and start worrying about how she sings. I guess they figure no one will ever be able to approach Patsy Cline and so they'll just have overly made-up women in tight, low-cut clothes in the meanwhile. Guess what? I CAN'T SEE HER ON THE RADIO!!! The more off key, the lower the neckline.

Amen, besides you've got wonderful voices and looks in Reba McCintire, EmmyLou Harris, Dolly Parton. Shania Twain needs to drop the slinky sexpot looks and use her voice, which I consider pretty good. Terri Clark is a woman who looks good and has a great voice.
But as they say....."Sex sells". But I listen to music, I don't "watch" music.
As for annoying music, anything out of the Disney teen pop queen stable: Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff, Ashlee Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears,...........It makes my ears hurt just thinking about that group.

Bonnie Raitt ( as a few have said) Carolyn Wonderland, Kelly Richey, Ruthie Foster, Eva Cassidy (again, 'nough said). A few great Blues/Guitar singer/songwriters.
Stevie Nicks for sure as noted. Then there's Ann and Nancy Wilson from Heart. I think Ann's voice is better than ever and if I could play as well as Nancy then I'd be a happy girl.
Cyndi Lauper has a great rock voice. Diana Krall for jazz. What about Pat Benatar! Wow, can she sing. I mean the list can go on and on......Norah Jones, Amy Winehouse, Duffy, Kate Rusby, Brandi Carlile, Pink has a pretty great blues voice on her too, Chrissy Hynde for sure, Sarah McLaughlin, Sarah Harmer, Sara Slean (all three Canadian
The Wilson sisters I'll give you. Pat Benatar and Norah Jones make me switch channels ASAP.
But, as Dave Barry, put it, "Music is subjective". "Book of bad songs"
Absolutely ozymandias. Music like art is very subjective.
How about Debra Harry. Janis Joplin? Grace (is it Jones or Slick) from Jefferson Airplane!
Debra Harry is ok voice wise. Janis Jopin, never one of my favorites, but she did have a powerful vocal style. Grace Slick, and this is by her own words, did not have the most musical voice, and she described herself more as a "power" singer. She could carry a tune, but, on tunes like "White Rabbit" she could certainly belt it out!
In short I consider the 80's a VAST WASTELAND of music........<sigh>
One Word........FANTASIA!!!!!
This girl at my work plays her CD all the time and it drives me nuts. That voice is horrible.
For a minute I thought you were talking about the movie, but, after research, I empathize with you.
For ultimate annoyance..........PAT BENATAR, phony, theatrical and screechy enough to make me want to perforate my ear drums. I HATE her so bad.
Oh and after sitting thru one of their concerts......"Celtic Woman". My daughter loves them, and normally my wife would have taken her to the concert, but, her work intruded so I sacrificed my ear drums out of parental love and devotion. The only saving grace was my fascination with the pony tailed percussion player who enthralled me with his skill and cheeky showmanship.
The ladies I would happily strand on a deserted Isle and leave them to sing to each other. <BAH>

this one might be right up there.

That was an abomination beyond abominations!
Patsy is another timeless singer. I agree, Zurf
Agree with Patsy Cline and to add to that, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris. For rock and/or pop, Stevie Nicks still has a powerful voice.
Can't beleive I'm first to say Chrissie Hynde. Coolest rock chick ever! Or maybe Joan Jett. Lita Ford is hot and an awesome guitarist. Joan Jett and Lita Ford used to both be in the same band, The Runaways. Ch ch ch ch cherry bomb!
Gotta go with that as well!!! Yes, Indeed! After seeing Celine Dion do AC/DC, I envision Joan Jett or Lita Ford covering tunes from them and doing them awesomely. Chrissie Hynde rocks in a more subtle cool way!
Too numerous to mention!
Mary McCaslin, Bonnie Raitt, Iris DeMent
Indeed. Having several ways to do things in your mental file is a good thing.
Western Canada, Eastern Canada, if I'm in either one of these days, I'll let you know! Now that would be a vacation, traveling and jamming, what more could one want. <bliss>
I also have Gmail; sdozymandias24@gmail.com
I also just started a facebook account:

It's not for social networking as much as it's just another way to keep up with friends. Even my guitar teacher is on there. It's a bit of an experiment and therapy for a Luddite and technophobe like myself!
You'll have to drop in for a jam and visit the next time you're up this way.
Cheers

I can even get my hands on a guitar that belongs to the family. They live in Lacombe and their son lives in Calgary. They are quite musically inclined.

There's the Cascade mountains, more salmon than you can shake a stick at (and I would very much enjoy shaking a particular 9' 6wt Temple Fork Outfitters stick at them), and sea kayaking with whales, plus it never gets terribly hot or terribly cold. Hard to beat.

Yup I love BC as well. I live in Alberta, the province next to it. My husband and I have many family and friends there, all over. Even on Vancouver Island and Thetis Island. We vacation there every chance we can get. Interior BC is gorgeous too with all the lakes and the climate is pretty great, especially in the summer but can get a ton of snow in the winter.
Cheers
Heather
Cool, my wife has close family ties in Alberta. We've been there several times. And have been to Banff and Lake Louise.

Next time I've got $80 sitting around doing nothing, I'm likely to buy it. He did four albums, each with the usual twelve or fifteen songs. However, they recorded 80 or so songs for each. Cash Unearthed includes many of the songs that weren't put on albums. It was wrapped up and on its way to Johnny Cash for final approval, but he died while it was on its way. They've finally released it.
The only song I've heard off of it is "Heart of Gold", and that song alone is worth the $80 to have the album. (Of course I could by that song alone as an MP3 for $1, but what's the fun in that?).

I just checked iTunes and it's only $49.99 Canadian on there. Hm???? You should check it out if you have iTunes. Looks amazing! Cheers Heather
The evidence is clear. I have to move to Canada.

The thought has crossed the minds of my wife and myself.
We'll play the "Immigrant Song" by Led Zeppelin as we cross the border..............just kidding.
sounds like an awesome way to learn, as well as make friends!
That could be arranged...............MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
lets stir the pot the other way, causing a spillage and getting britaney to fall out and never to be mentioned again
I really do not like her songs at all. ......Well not exactly true.
I like "Travis" doing hit me baby one more time.So I just dont like her singing any of her songs.
Ken
How about a one way trip to the Bermuda Triangle! <evil grin>
wlbaye,
I have played many weddings and usually find the bride wants to make a statement with the music she selects. And she does the choosing.
You should be aware that having you open the music part of the celebration shows her great devotion to you and regard for your musical gift.
Don't worry about "sappy". It's all about her and any sincere effort you make to please her will reap big rewards.Please tell us how it went.
Dennis
Indeed, good luck and best wishes to you and the bride on the big day!
I think I'v heard the usual suspects at the weddings that I've been to.
Since you've asked..............Judy Collins
In my life.........The Beatles
I will...........The Beatles
I will always love you..............Whitney Houston
The wind beneath my wings....... (I can't remember who)
You are so beautiful..........Joe Cocker
At our wedding, my wife and I had a segment of the Brandenburg Concerto played for the entrance theme. And the reception was a very small intimate, sit down, eat, greet, goodbye and enjoy a fine April day. (Morning wedding, early afternoon reception)
Interesting, I'm always looking for ways to do the chord transitions easier. I'll give it a shot!
Thanks
I love "Can't you see". It's in my "tunes to do" binder. A good finger picking piece!
That was awesome. Heck, if they can do, "Highway to Hell", then they obviously can do anything.
Ah, Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs, a classic! <grin>
