2. Abbey Road
1. Revolver
Best vocal performance: Hey Jude
Great pick Scott!
Today it's David Lee Roth. Albums: Van Halen, 1984, Eat "Em & Smile. Song is "Unchained".
DAY 6- STEVE MARRIOT Humble Pie Etc. Hey folks. well a voice no longer with us. But there on records and on film and video footage, Short Bio piece below after my comments.
The 3 albums would be Rock On, Smokin. And Thunderbox. Have Rock On that is on Cassette. The other two albums as vinyl albums. As to great songs there is many nice great songs. The HMs ones on Rock On - Shine on which Frampton sings lead. The tracks with Marriot HMS -Stone Cold Fever , Rollin Stone Big George and Strange Days. The rest of album is alright. On Smokin' with Hot N' Nasty, C'Mon Everybody. 30 Days In The Hole Road Runner. Those the notable songs to HMS. On Thunderbox the title track Thunderbox , Groovin With Jesus, No Money Down is good. And others are for as to a covers like album.
The track that Steve does o best that I choose is on Thunderbox and "I Can't Stand The Rain" where Steve does justice with great song for a cover of soulstress Ann Peebles song.
The song as their own with Steves vocals reaching up there and keepin the song bluesy funk and soulful. And so there you have it. Oh and extra to a great mention of the two albums of Rockin The Fillmore and Eat It. With great tracks could have used. In fact a high HM, As whole album is good so be sure to mention at least one from live Fillmore album. I Don't Need No Doctor. Ray Charles cover. Done far superior for a performance as well
I saw Steve Marriot with Steve Marriot and his All Stars open along with Starcastle for headliner Foghat in in 76. Then saw Humble Pie open with Mothers Finest and Angel for headliner Mahagony Rush . Frank Marino yes and then in 82 saw Humble Pie headline. opener a band called St Ives. Steve playing great rhythm guitar All three with Steve at his best when he sang. In 82 maybe noticeably high or little drunk. bUt he snag just aa well as anyone would like him, There you are. Great choice Pete. Paul Rodgers and yea Bad Company and Free. Course The Firm also as well as his solo. Now some Bio of Humble Pie.
-----------------------------------------------
Humble Pie are an English rock band formed by singer-guitarists Peter Frampton and Steve Marriott in Moreton, Essex,[not verified in body] in 1969. Often regarded as one of the first supergroups in music, Humble Pie experienced moderate popularity and commercial success during the 1970s with hit songs such as "Black Coffee", "30 Days in the Hole", "I Don't Need No Doctor", "Hot 'n' Nasty" and "Natural Born Bugie" among others.
The original line-up of members featured lead singer/frontman and guitarist Steve Marriott of Small Faces, singer-guitarist Peter Frampton of the Herd, former Spooky Tooth bassist Greg Ridley and drummer Jerry Shirley from the Apostolic Intervention.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have a great day friends and take care and hugs.🎶🎶🎤🤗. Cheers 🧙♂
He's in my Top 5 for sure.
How is Paul Rodgers not in the Rock HOF? Mind boggling
Excellent pick with Paul Rodgers, Pete. I've got him coming up just a bit later on my list.
6) Van Morrison
Favorite Albums:
#1 Astral Weeks
#2 Moondance
#3 The Story Of Them featuring Van Morrison
Favorite Performance:
"Cypress Avenue" (Astral Weeks)
The first time I can remember hearing Van Morrison was when the radio played "Gloria" by the Belfast R&B group Them, of which he was the lead singer. That song, written by Morrison, became a garage band staple along with another Morrison-penned hit, "Mystic Eyes". The band also recorded excellent covers of John Lee Hooker's "Baby Please Don't Go" and Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue".
I also have fond memories of hearing "Brown Eyed Girl" blasting from transistor radios from the street to the beach in the summer of 1967 when I was just a kid.
But my first real encounter with the genius of Van Morrison was when I heard the brilliant Astral Weeks. I have rarely been as captivated by an album on the first listen as I was by that record. The blend of Folk, Blues, Jazz and Classical styles was unlike anything I had heard before (or since), but it was Van's voice, so full of pain, compassion, pure beauty and mystical awe that truly captured my imagination.
There were so many landmark Van Morrison performances from which to choose a "favorite". From the Irish Soul of "I've Been Working", "Crazy Love", "Domino", and "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm In Heaven When You Smile)" to the rustic "Tupelo Honey" to the pure rockin' "Wild Night" to the deeply spiritual "Did Ye Get Healed?". But ultimately, I went with a song that absolutely mesmerized me the first time I heard it, and that still moves me when I hear it today, "Cypress Avenue" from Astral Weeks.
The song is the centerpiece of the album, coming as it does at the end of Side One of the vinyl.
For Morrison growing up in Belfast Cypress Avenue was "the street we would all aspire to - the other side of the tracks....the Beersbridge Road had the railway line cut across it, and one side of it was one side of the tracks and Cypress Avenue was the other." In the song Morrison reminisces about a more innocent time, recounting the sights and sounds of days gone by, while escaping into his imagination, an oasis of romantic reverie. The maddening vision of innocence that unfolds is out of time and sexless. His dream lady in her antique carriage is only 14 years old! Morrison's singing is totally possessed, moving from chocked desire to exultation to hushed wonder. It's a captivating, sometimes disturbing, but ultimately moving performance that's unlike any other in popular music.
It's one of many performances that put Van Morrison in a class by himself.

Awesome choice Christopher. I love Into The Mystic
@@stoneyj.5538Thanks Stoney.
Great article Chris I feel bad not having him on my list.
I love the Them song “You Just Can’t Win”. It’s such a powerful vocal performance.
I agree about “Astral Weeks”…”Cyprus Avenue”…the harpsichord is brilliant !
Another informative write up of a brilliant song. I live “up the road” from Cypress Avenue so know it well. He played a concert in the avenue a few years ago. Can be a bit of a curmudgeon at times ( I know from the only time I met him!) but his music is like no,other. My personal favourite album, currently, is Veedon Fleece.
Great picks Chris, I had him on my list as well.
The Rock Hall is a joke. There are so many artists that deserve to be inducted and almost as many who don’t.

Great pick, an absolute favorite of mine as well. Although Carl sings the lead on God Only Knows. A stoke of genius and humility in my opinion for Brian to let Carl take that one, as I believe Carl to have the best pure singing voice of any of the three Wilson brothers. But Brian's falsetto tops them all.
My pick for the day is Jimi Jamison of Survivor / Cobra / solo. Love his voice. I wish there was more material with him and Survivor. I believe Deep Purple was looking at him during the 80s. No particular order, and while I love all these vocalists, the starred (**) names are my most favorite. A number of my favorites may lack a powerful voice, but they all have a unique sounding quality. I've posted a couple vocal track favorites of mine as well:
6. Jimi Jamison** - Survivor / Cobra / solo (I Can't Hold Back ; The Search is Over)
7. Geoff Tate** - Queensryche (Take Hold of the Flame ; Someone Else?)
8. Jay Buchanon** - Rival Sons (Too Bad ; Mosaic)
9. Phil Mogg - UFO (Light's Out / Too Much of Nothing)
10. Jorn Lande** - Jorn (My Own Way ; Bridges Will Burn)
11. David King - Fastway (If You Could See ; We Become One)
12. Roy Khan** - Kamelot / Conception (Forever ; Wander)
13. John Cafferty - John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band (On the Dark Side ; Just a Matter of Time)
14. Rob Halford - Judas Priest (Beyond the Realms of Death ; Victim of Changes)
15. David Coverdale - Deep Purple / Whitesnake (Mistreated / Standing in the Shadow)
16. Jack Russell - Great White (Rock Me ; House of Broken Love)
17. Bruce Dickinson - Iron Maiden (Hallowed Be Thy Name ; Revelations)

27. Paul Rodgers - Free / Bad Company (Bad Company ; Fire and Water)
28. Ronnie James Dio - Dio (Don't Talk to Strangers ; Holy Diver)
29. Pat Benatar (Hell is for Children ; Promises in the Dark)
30. Klaus Meine - Scorpions (We'll Burn the Sky ; Still Loving You

Great choice Kamran.
Hi Pete & everyone. Dave here. Love your pick, which i went with a few days ago. One of the all-time greats. My pick is another one. it's IAN GILLAN. Deep Purple was my band in the 70s, and Ian's dynamic vocals had a lot to do with that.
Albums: Deep Purple - In Rock. Really got me into the band, and heavy rock generally. So raw and exciting, and Ian almost seems possessed at times.
Deep Purple - Machine Head. From the blistering Highway Star and Space Trucking to the tender When A Blind Man cries, Ian's vocals scream quality (literally!).
Ian Gillan Band - Clear Air Turbulence. Nice change in direction after he left Purple, to more jazz and funk driven rock, but Ian is perfect for it.
Song: Child In Time. Had to be.
Awesome pick, Dave! Top three on my list. Purple was also one of the first bands that got me into heavy rock! When I was still a kid. I bought "In rock" on cassette with pocket money and was quite disappointed that "Smoke on the Water" was not there. But a week later, I was totally caught, still remains my favourite DP album, and in my top three albums of all time.
@@ramonace4770 Yes, it's terrific. Thanks, Ramon.
@@gaiaeternal5131 hi Dave. Fantastic picks
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks, Melanie.
Great pick Dave! Gotta have Ian on this list!
Robert Plant 🇬🇧 (Led Zeppelin) is # 6. One of the godfathers of hard rock and early heavy metal.
Led Zeppelin 1
Led Zeppelin IV
Physical Graffiti
Vocal performance a tie:
Black Dog/Achilles Last Stand
Cheers,
Mike L 😎🇨🇦✌🏼🤘🏼
# 6 Jim Morrison
It never ceases to amaze me again and again that a singer who was active for less than five years and only recorded six records with his band is counted among the most important rock musicians of all time. But that is of course completely justified, because Jim Morrison was unique as a singer and performer. For me, too, he belongs right at the top of this ranking.
Best albums: The Doors, Morrison Hotel, L.A. Woman
Best song: Riders on the Storm

# 28 Warren Zevon
# 29 Sting
# 30 Roger Hodgson
# 31 Barry Hay
My #6 pick is an American musician who was the co-founder, frontman, rhythm guitarist and co-lead vocalist of the hard rock band Kiss from the band's inception in 1973 to their retirement in 2023. He was the writer or co-writer of many of the band's most popular songs. Stanley established The Starchild character for his Kiss persona. Stanley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 as a member of Kiss. In talking about Paul Stanley
Albums- Destroyer Hotter Than Hell Love Gun
Song- I Stole Your Love
I Stole Your Love" Stanley has said the song "came quickly. It was influenced in some ways by the Deep Purple song 'Burn'.”
Paul got better as a vocalist as his career progressed. He deserves respect.
IAN ANDERSON - From Stand Up, A New Day Yesterday; from Songs From the Wood, The Whistler, and from The broadsword and the Beast, Beastie. Favourite vocal, Mother Goose from Aqualung.
@@shaunogle530 hi Shaun. Excellent picks
Great picks, Shaun.
Great pick and song choices Shaun. Can't beat the legendary Anderson and Jethro Tull.
6. John Wetton (Mogul Thrash, Family, King Crimson, Roxy Music, Uriah Heep, Wishnone Ash, Asia, solo)
King Crimson - Red
UK - Danger Money
Asia - Asia
Song: Asia - An Extraordinary Life
"I saw Queen back in the 70s at the Rainbow and I was blown away, for a band that at that time was not that well known I could not get over the stage presence, power and vocal range of their singer and over the years before his passing he demonstrated it again and again. My pick for Day 26: Vocalist: - Freddy Murcury Albums: - The Great Pretender, Innuendo, Queen II Song: - The Show Must Go On"
What a gig to hear n see
Great choice Mordrid! As much as I loved Freddie in the 70's, as the mustache grew, I was rather on May/Taylor's side, missing the hard edged Queen stuff I grew up with. But a brilliant singer for sure, one of the greats. Ranked 14 on my list, but certainly one of my all-time favourite singers.
@@ziggyzagzi8017 Thanks yes it was fantastic
@@ramonace4770 Yes I know what you mean, I was a big fan up to and including Night at the Opera then I believe they lost their way and the only other album I ever bought and enjoyed listening to was Innuendo and I think a lot of that was because it was written as Freddie was dying so full of emotion
Marvellous pick, Mordrid. Queen in the 70s were brilliant live.
I don't have a pick for vocalist today but I liked your pick with
Paul Rodgers but I'll also pick him today especially with Free,
Bad Company and his other many projects solo and with other
bands either as a guest or a member thanx Pete 🎤🎸🎸🎹🥁

Hi Monte. Awesome pick. Love Buffalo Springfield.
6. Freddie Mercury
Queen - News of the World (1977)
Queen - Queen II (1974)
Queen - A Night At The Opera (1975)
Queen at their 70s peak were actually looked down upon by gatekeepers and critics. Freddie's sense of campy humor, showmanship and outrageous outfits somehow didn't earn them respect until long after Freddie had passed. It wasn't just Freddie's vocal chops that earns him his place here, but all the other elements that immortalized him as a rock 'n' roll icon. "It's Late."

Thank you Melanie
Great pick Stoney!
Tough choice....my gut says Bad Company.....had the pleasure of seeing him live in a small club in Toronto on the Muddy Waters Blues tour. 95 or 6....amazing
Pick #6: DAVID COVERDALE of Deep Purple & WhiteSnake fame. David- with that powerful, bluesy baritone was always very distinctive & he looked every bit the rock star!!! Though since the mid-nineties he's had some health issues-due to age/touring + when you reach those high notes with a harder edge(1987 album forward).... the voice has to change or burnout. Regardless;Dave's got a place in the elite vocalists in rock history. My favorite tracks: *Waiting On You(Coverdale/Page), *Looking For Love, Only My Soul,+ Ready & Willing(WhiteSnake), *Drifter(Deep Purple).

Good pick man. That's basically the song that introduced the world to Freddie. An interesting May solo as well.
Great picks, Martin! Love 70's Queen, after that, some great stuff, some terrible stuff too. But no doubt, absolutely one of the most iconic and brilliant rock singers.
Excellent pick Martin.
Excellent choices. Killer Queen would be right up there but I will go with Bohemian Rhapsody. Always loved that scene in Waynes World.
@@martinfranco3716 hi Martin. Awesome picks
6. Singer: Cat Stevens. 😃👍. Three albums: Mona Bone Jakon (1970), Tea for the Tillerman (1970) and Buddha and the Chocolate Box (1974). It kills me to leave Teaser and the Fire Cat (1971) off the list. I adore “King of the Trees” from Buddha and the Chocolate Box. But the great vocal track chosen is: “Trouble” from Mona Bone Jakon and the Original Soundtrack for the Film, Harold and Maude (1971). 🔥. Fabulous film and soundtrack! Rock Always! - Heather
Great pick Heather! My wife and I love Cat...and Yusef. My 3 are Tea For The Tillerman, Catch Bull At Four and Teaser And The Firecat. Honorable mention to Roadsinger which would be number 4 :)

Interesting that you didn't include Teaser, my favourite Cat Stevens album.

Catch Bull At Four includes another favourite and rarely mentioned song (l seem to like a lot of songs that nobody else loves, loads of Elton John songs too).It's 18th Avenue, another great song.

2.A Farewell To Kings
1. Moving Pictures
Song- The Spirit of Radio
As soon as Pete said "He's still got it...", I knew it was Paul Rogers. And yes....he still has it.
My top vocal track for Mr. Rogers is "Seagull". No question.
Thanks, Pete.
I'm a huge, huge Rodgers fan. I just cant get and never ever will get, the love for 'Seagull'. The lyrics are trite and could be written by a 14 year old. I was 14 when the album came out and it was the one song that didn't resonate with me then and now I am 65, it still doesn't. It really is the one weak track on the band's first LP

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You (1967), Lady Soul (1968), Young, Gifted and Black (1972).

My pick for today is Iggy Pop.
Albums: 1) Raw Power - The Stooges
2) Funhouse - The Stooges
3) Lust For Life - Solo
Track: T.V. Eye
On this trashy and ferocious primal scream, Iggy dissolves all his devils. Fun thing is that till recently I´ve misheard the line ´See that cat. Yeah I Love her so´ instead i´ve heard ´See that cow´s got a lover soul.´
Great pick Danny
Thanks Yoke.
Great pick Danny. Just spun new copies of the first two Stooges albums the other day. Have to go back and listen for "cow"
Nice picks Danny, he just missed my 31.

Good morning (afternoon, evening or night), Pete. Great pick for singer and song. Personal pick today (and again, mine in no particular order)? A English gentlemen who is a singer, musician, actor and co-founder of a band known as The Who - Roger Daltrey. You've already picked and discussed Roger earlier this month so not much to add except still haven't quite accepted Martin Popoff's comments on his vocals. But we all hear things differently. The three albums? Well, there all Who albums so let's go with Who's Next, Quadrophenia, and Tommy. The most likely choice is the one you made earlier so going with another selection of song - Behind Blue Eyes which shows Roger's softer as well as his bombastic sides. Thanks, Pete. Looking forward to your final five.
@@johnmichaelwilliams6694 hi John. Marvelous pick’s and article.
Excellent pick John! Roger Daltrey is one of my all time favorite singers. And speaking of him being an actor, I always loved the character he played in "The Highlander" television series. 👍
@@melaniethurber5117 Thanks, Melanie (and finally on the right day).

My pick for today-Jeff Lynne (Electric Light Orchestra)

Great choice Rick. Eldorado is my favorite ELO album.

My #26 Favorite vocalist is Phil Anselmo. I'm mostly a fan of his from his Pantera days & my 3 favorite albums are 1. Cowboys From Hell. 2. Far Beyond Driven. 3. Vulgar Display Of Power. Favorite song is Cemetery Gates.
Nice pick Dave, he was on my list earlier same song too, I have seen him live both with DP and his own band great in both
Such a legend!!!! I've seen him both with Bad Company and solo, and he's always great!!!! My #6: Going with a guy who helped start the Outlaw Country Movement in the 70s. He has a real unique sounding voice and has some great songs!! He also played music the way he wanted to do so and didn't let the big boys in Nashville tell him what to do!! Talking about the legendary Waylon Jennings!!
Albums: Lonesome, On'ry & Mean, Ol' Waylon, I've Always Been Crazy
Song: Belle Of The Ball
Hi guys, creeping closer to the end, and we're already at our 6th favourite vocalist (if we've been doing this in order!)
My pick #6 was once the lead singer of the very first headlining act I ever saw, but sadly not that night as by then he had passed, and been replaced by the man who still occupies the vocal spot in the band to this day.
My HM, in keeping with my attempt to connect my 2 picks each day, however loosely, was the lead singer, and guitarist, of the support act that night. If you read my waffle regularly, you may well already know who I mean...
And so, on to my 6th favourite singer, and his band whose early albums I played all the time in my formative, teenage years Again, possibly not the greatest technically, but what he lacked in technique he more than made up for with his delivery, the lyrics often imbued with cheeky, schoolboy humour...
Bon Scott of AC/DC
Selected Albums:
3. Highway To Hell
2. Let There Be Rock
1. Powerage
Highlighted Performance:
"Let There Be Rock" - Live version from If You Want Blood, You Got It
And so, yes, never saw him live sadly, and that first ever gig with Brian, which was still brilliant as a fan, saw my very first live encounter with a hard rock band in the shape of the support act and my HM for today...
Dave Meniketti of Y&T
Highlighted track:
"I Believe In You" from Earthshaker
Terrific picks Iain! I wasn't lucky enough to see Bon Scott either, but I finally could see Y'n'T in 2005, Meniketti was amazing
Great pick Iain and its a shame you were unable to see him live but at least you can still listen to him sing
@@iainhead9898 hi Iain. Awesome picks and article
@@ramonace4770 Thanks Ramon, always nice to tick bands off our wish lists!
@@mordrid11man15 Absolutely, and he's not the only one I missed out on from the golden years of the 70s... Hey ho
#26: David Lee Roth
What a unique personality, great delivery, some bluesy, 50's or 60's delivery at time like Ice Cream Man or Could This Be Magic?
Just pure energy exuding from his voice on Panama, You Really Got Me, D.O.A., the screams, man it's all so good!
Favorite albums:
- Van Halen I (1978)
- Van Halen II (1979)

@@Brother_MarkG hi Mark. Marvelous picks
8/26 (unranked) - Freddie Mercury
Queen- Queen II
Queen- A Night at the Opera
Queen- A Day at the Races
Favorite Vocal Performance- “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Yes, the song is so overplayed, overplayed doesn’t seem to adequately describe it! However, Mercury is doing so much vocally here! I remember being completely blown away when I first heard this song. If I’m being honest with myself, I think this is the song to go with.
Late post today, been at another friend's birthday, this is the first opportunity I've had to post my choice. No real need for introduction to my no. 6 pick as he is one of THE most iconic vocalists and frontman in the history of rock. Still singing today as a solo artist with a very diverse catalogue Oh and apparently he was in some band called Led Zeppelin, ROBERT PLANT.
Fave Albums
Led Zeppelin ll
The Untitled (Led Zeppelin 4/The Runes album etc)

I knew Pete was going to pick Paul Rodgers, but I didn't know when he was going to come up! My favorite vocal performance of his is "The Hunter." He shows off his range and has so much attitude in that song!
Pick number 6 Peter Gabriel. It can't be denied that Peter was pivotal in the development and success of Genesis. His decision to leave the band in 1975 caused great concern with Genesis fans, many thinking it spelt the end of the band, but no, it was Phil Collins to the rescue!
Peter's solo career was a huge success though as an estimated 16 million album sales would testify.
Albums..........
Foxtrot 1972
Selling England By the Pound 1973
Peter Gabriel 1 (car) 1977
Song..............The Lamia (an absolute favourite song with Peter's vocal work upto his usual high standard)
Terrific pick, Keith. Still to come for me.

@@keithjones7390 Cool choice, Keith, and great music selections. I’m pleased to see you included Selling England…. (my favourite Genesis album)
My #6 pick is Jim Morrison- amazing natural talent, untrained crooner, amazing tone, and an attitude which is often playfully cynical, sarcastic, or humorous. Favorite albums: The Doors (self-titled debut), L.A. Woman, Alive! She Cried. Favorite song: "Moonlight Drive."
