The *best stuff* can come from anyone, whether or not they are technically correct. If good music can be produced by anyone who puts their heart into it, then I could take any broken down boozer and put him into a recording studio and walk away with a hit record. Or a Grammy. Or both. That would be Mr. Tom Waits. You also have to know how to write a good song and how to play or sing. Cohen/Reed/Dylan: None can sing. But they're easily 3 of the most distinct vocalists of the past fifty years. Steve Perry from Journey can sing. And he's sh1t. Sex Pistols couldn't play. Dylan, when he started, could barely play. Subway sect couldn't play. Buns couldn't play much. And they were all great. Nick Cave couldn't sing or play. I think the argument doesn't hold much water. - -CA ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ====================================== http://www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2003 15:57:46 -0400 From: Red Subject: Re: seven-seas New Zealand Herald At 03:41 PM 7/10/03 -0400, you wrote: >Cohen/Reed/Dylan: None can sing.

Exactly, which gets back to what I was saying.... and what you were getting at.....ya don't HAVE to be 'perfectly technically' correct to be the best!
