Forget genres - Chuck D has the most powerful voice music has ever had

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

Its time for my weekly PE appreciation thread, folks. I listen to a few songs on the bus ride in to work and it gets me fired up indeed.

1. I'm with you.

The only bad thing about listening to PE is that I look ridiculous trying to rap along, being a 33-year-old white mother of two.

2. In the movie Ghost Dog there is this italian mobster who loves to rhyme

along with "Cold Lampin wit Flava" - HI-larious.

3. Paul Robeson and Marian Anderson had more powerful voices.

Chuck is number 3. ;)

4. Nope, sorry. It's actually that dude from Third Eye Blind.

Now THAT was a powerful voice! "I wan' something else..." "I will underSTA-aa-aa-aaand...."

5. Actually its the Funky Viking

but thats splitting hairs

6. Gagagagagaga...Gaga gaga!

"Man, that viking has got to boogie woogie. It in him and it got to come out!"

[Magrittes Pipe]

7. Yeah. His voice is even more powerful than that dude from Everclear.

[RandomKoolzip]

9. Wow. You think so? Guess I'll have to go listen to Everclear to find out..

(I'm just glad you didn't say "Ron House." I love the guy, but his voice makes Jad Fair sound like Van Morrison.)

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. No, Ron sings like a manatee giving birth.

And his head's as big as a pumpkin.

But least he doesn't write stupid fucking songs.

[RandomKoolzip]

11. Hmmm. I'm not given to "at least" statements.

Methinks they sound too defensive. So much for the afterglow!

[Magrittes Pipe]

12. You were still afterglowing after all these months?

Damn. I AM good!

[RandomKoolzip]

13. I still haven't stubbed out my cigarette...

Although everything looks pretty "stubby" next to the Whitacock_D(13")

8. Captain Beefheart

There's a story that, in the studio, he just opened his mouth and began to sing-- and so overpowered a thousand dollar microphone that he broke it.
