RONG 2

I mean in In Dreams alone he spans like 2.5 octaves and hits a high C - a slightly weird one, but he hits a pretty clear one in Only the Lonely.

If forced to choose, I'd def pick Orbison.

here's the real question

joy orbison or jank sanatra

rank sinatra, surely

orbison is great but dismissing frank as some kind of poser is dumb IMO

roy's range is breathtaking and capable of conveying tragic emotion but jesus x what sinatra did w/phrasing was revolutionary & influential (even though he loathed R&R).

sinatra was my gateway drug into pre-rock pop songs - along w/ring-a-ding shoob-be-doo novelties he recorded SO many songs and the arrangements on his 50s sides kill

i dunno how heated a debate you can get into with someone nicknamed "balls"

Orbison is known for his voice in terms of more traditional measures of singing ability - range, clarity, pitch, etc. Sinatra was a much more limited vocalist with a lot of style.

If you care anything at all about singing, then you would have noticed Sinatra's clarity and pitch. It might be apocryphal, but the story that Miles used to model the pitch of his trumpet playing on Sinatra's singing totally makes sense.

miles told the story in his autobio so not too apocryphal!

for hurting and san te: 'miles' refers to miles davis.

OMG THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING THAT I THOUGHT YOU WERE REFERRING TO MILES STANDISH

miles standish proud

sl0ck, that shit was like nothing on television. Ask anyone who actually remembers watching that first season instead of just glimpsing at mangled syndication episodes between their freshman dorm wake-and-bake sesh and their daily hot pocket

i remember it! i liked it at the time but now i find it pretty unwatchable... i mean it had its own cool thing going on (and i was a huge matt groening fan) but the comic genius sensibility we know as the simpsons' contribution to pop culture didn't really exist at that point

there has been a lot that was "like nothing on television" that sucked tbh

Damn skippy.

1st season of Simpsons is pretty crappy, a lot of the 2nd too I think.

i don't even want to post on this board anymore if this is a prevailing opinion

Nah I'm just challoping really it's brilliant and dead funny.

who gives a shit :)
