Classic Rock Vocal Showdown #28: Fogerty vs Frey (do-over)
« on: July 18, 2013, 08:44:03 AM »
Another shut out last round... poor Joe.

Ok... this is a do-over, and probably a better competition.  Coupled with the fact that I just realized I didn't have Glen Frey on my original list, let's try this one again.  Man, I could flip a coin here - smooth vs gritty.  Which do I prefer?  Frey didn't get the chance to shine, but man, when he did (Already Gone, James Dean, Tequila Sunrise, Heartache Tonight), he was fantastic.

Think I'm gonna stick with Fogerty, just simply out of a quantitative measurement. 
That's a word salad - and take it from me, I know word salad
I fear for the day when something happens on the right that is SO nuts that even Stadler says "That's crazy".

Fogerty again for me, Frey isn't bad but Henley was the better singer in the Eagles.
Must've been Kwyji sending all the wrong songs.   ;D

Sums it up perfectly for me.
The bones of beasts and the bones of kings become dust in the wake of the hymn.
Mighty kingdoms rise, but they all will fall, no more than a breath on the wind.

FTFM

my vote is for Glenn, as much as I love CCR.
