First, my faves then a plug for someone you may already know.

Male: Rory Gallagher. I'd add more but if you know the name there's no reason

Female: Tough one. Lydia Pense of Cold Blood. Sophia Ramos. Janis X 10.

Plug: Tucson's own Namoli Brennet. A TG singer/songwriter and incredible musician. She has a website that will give you a sample of her music and more.

I just missed her in concert and I've been kicking my tail since.

Honestly, I have so many...If one stands out above the rest though, I'm going to say it's Neil Diamond.

Given your SN and the lyrics to that the song, Shilo that's a good pick. Neil's, Cherry, Cherry picks me up when I'm down and Lulu does a great version of his, The Boat That I Row and you can interpret the lyrics to that song as inspirational for some of us as well.

My favorite is a tie between Midnight (Crimson Glory) and Daniel Heiman (Lost Horizon). I'm a vocal range fanatic, and my favorite singers almost always have a crazy high extension to their voice. Midnight has a confirmed D2-G5 in full-voice, with an extension up to B5 in falsetto, and Daniel has G2-B♭5, with an extension up to E♭6 in falsetto! Midnight sings with such heart and soul, and Daniel sings with the most flawless technique I've ever heard from any singer!

Here's some close second favorites too:

Geddy Lee (Rush): C♯2 - B♭5

Jeff Buckley: G2 - B♭5, and up to G6 in falsetto.

Tony Harnell (TNT): F♯2 - A5

Dan Arlie (T-Ride): G♯1 - G5, and up to A5 in falsetto.

Cedric Bixler-Zavala (The Mars Volta): G2 - C6

King Diamond (Mercyful Fate): A1 - B4, and up to C♯6 in falsetto. (This range isn't entirely accurate, still notewatching his discography.)

Hope I'm not coming off too overbearing here, it's just something that interests me. :x

Wow! Not overbearing but intimidating to be sure. I envy your knowledge.

I have a record from the John Mayal Blues Breakers from back in the 60's that has a track of Stormy Monday where Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and Jimmy Page are playing together. Talk about awesome guitar work.

Mayall, still going strong, showcased a lot of British blues talent before the Beatles hit big. His best work, Blues Alone is typical Mayall. Broken Wing and Catch That Train are timeless tracks. I don't know if he worked with the best blues picker of that era, Peter Green but I'm sure they crossed paths.

BB King once remarked that Green was the only blues player who could make him (BB) sweat. High praise indeed.

I saw BB live in '67 at the Fillmore with the Byrds and the Electric Flag. At the end of the show they announced that Mike Bloomfield and BB were going to jam for a bit and anyone was welcome to stay. It ended at 2 am and I was hooked on blues.

(I'm going to throw in a pitch for one of the greatest guitarists ever and a huge influence on the way guitar is played today, Big John Cippolina. To see him live was amazing. The 'Dead got all the attention but QSM, Moby Grape and the Flamin' Groovies were the best bands in SF in the '60's.)

I know I am replying too late but I love Daniel vocals too. I still did not grow up enough for Midnight - I need more tries for him. I hope you are still around here because I would like to contact you via PM but as a newcomer I still cannot. I have some singers to offer you as I see your point. I like high pitched vocals tooooooo...

Hands down favorite singer of all time. Warren Zevon. He's so much more than Warewolves of London and Lawyers, Guns and Money. But even if he wasn't those two kick toushy enough for any three musicians today. Heck, Kid Rock steals more riffs from Warren Zevon than any other musician. That might mean something if Kid Rock was any good....

A major contribution of music to civilisation is as a universal language. As long as it is well written and performed I will listen. I tend to have a fairly catholic taste in music and have favourites in several different genres. As a Scot I do love traditional Celtic music, but I am also a fan of rock, both soft and heavy metal. As an ex chorister, Ecclesiastical music runs in my veins. I think the only sound I can’t stand is rap.

Favourite performers include D.ick Gaughan (the only recipient of the double honours: Lifetime Achievement award and induction into the Traditional Music Hall of Fame). D.ick also does a considerable amount of his time supporting minorities, including Intersex people. If you haven’t heard of him check out YouTube.

Other performers who bridge traditional and modern ‘folk’ is Mary Chapin Carpenter and Emmy Lou Harris. In rock I listen to and have attended concerts featuring Metallica, Magnum and Bruce Springsteen. I tend to ignore labels, but under the heading of what is called ‘Classical’ music I listen to choral and orchestral works by Beethoven, Purcell, Händel Haydn, Mozart and John Rutter (modern composer). One group that defies labels is The Eagles (I could listen to Don Henley all day) :)

Oh my! Its nice to find another fan of Carpenter and Emmy Lou Harris. I adore both, along with the Eagles, and Purcell, Handel and Beethoven in the classics. I wish we could sit around and enjoy that music together. :thumbsup:

Hi Carolyn

I recommend the video of Emmy Lou singing with penis Gaughan - "Both sides the Tweed" on You Tube

Hi Amy,

I agree. I should have mentioned Freddie Mercury as he is another favourite of mine and sadly missed. His version of "Who wants to live forever" is a classic.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
