I don't know about influenced by, but I always liked Deborah Harry. Actually I've loved her since I was about 8 or 9. And now you're in the man from Mars, you go out at night eatin' cars, Cadillacs, Lincolns too, Mercuries and Suburus...

 

 

 

I will always love Debbie! She's gonna getcha, one way or another!

I was and continue to be influenced BIG TIME by Ani DiFranco. She is just such a dang Renaissance Woman! i got in to her a bit late. but when i did, she was profoundly influential for me musically and personally. Musically, her percussive style and inventive tunings has me tinkering endlessly. Personally, i got in to her about a year before the demise of my first marriage. She gave me faith in women again when i had lost hope. Also, my forever wife got us tickets to see Ani in an outdoor concert for my birthday a few years back. Thanks Ani! Great thread, imiubu!

 

I 1st. saw Ani on SNL years back, interesting I thought then time marched on.

Some 10 yrs ago or so, I was shopping resale shops for cds. A clerk asked

what kind of music I like... I'm open. He played a bit of each song off this disc

and it came home w/ me that day. It is a sampler of Ani's choices. I turned as

many people on to her as would listen. I love the line "I can turn on a dime and

give you five cents change".

One of these friends rang me up on a Wed and asked what I was doing that

coming Fri. He had bough tickets to see Ani for us to see for my birthday also.

Outstanding.

Great thread imiubu!!! :thumbsu:

 

I almost prefer a woman vocalist over a man. :lol:

 

My tastes are very wide so I like a lot of stuff.

 

Of course Janis Joplin! But I love several women singers...Pat Benatar, Alanis Morisette, Natalie Merchant, the chick from the Sundays....LOVE her voice. Mazzy Star, Sheryl Crow, Joss Stone, I could go on and on.... :)

 

I think my absolute favorite female vocalist is probably Karen Carpenter.

 

She had the voice of an angel. :)

Thx rlp, and every one else who has shared.

Oooh, Karen Carpenter! rlp, you do have

a marshmallow center, not many guys would

admit to that... or would they?!
