Strategically endorses Camel-uh right on cue.

The Zoomer-Millie childless hoebag vote was already hers, so no big whoop.

Apples and oranges, I think. Harry was part of a band. Not sure if she released solo albums. Harry came up when punk and new wave was happening. Underwood came up through American Idol, I think. But look at Underwood’s Wikid page. Pretty accomplished. And yeah, Harry was a sex symbol at the time. I only know Underwood from Sunday Night Football. Boing!

She did both, though she's mostly remembered for her band's work.

In contrast, Deb wrote songs (sure, in collaboration w/ the band) in rock, funk, pop, dance, etc. That's a territory that folks like Swift will never achieve.

I've said it before, Swift is basically a white trash computer where she's auto tuned and her programmer write the songs.

My former bands had more creative lyrics and would actually sing them. Dan didn't understand music and was into the T&A not understanding she's a white trash spoiled brat probably with herpes.

I have no problem admitting I'm sexist when it comes to music. I'm sure I've heard a bunch of Debbie Harry songs. I just don't think you write lyrics and are called a musician. At least write a bass line, guitar or even drums. I wrote our drum parts but I don't take credit for writing the song. With singers that's for some reason normal to take credit for usually doing 1/5th of the work.

Soul sound and singing is about the only place I'll give women credit. Usually fat black or white women. Soul is not pop and they're not good looking so no one listens to it outside of a few. We had fat women do backing vocals on one album. It sounded good. Skinny bitches don't have it generally.

Never knew Harry was a pussy flasher. A notorious flasher was Celine Dion.

The key is to make it look accidental and not intended. As a matter of fact, she even sang that 'Accidents Never Happen' ...

Anyways, the point of this whole post was to say this ...

Debbie Harry >>>>> Taylor Swift

And that's that.

You can add Connie Francis, Billie Holiday, Terri Nunn, Pat Benatar, Linda Ronstadt, Ann Wilson, Carrie Underwood, Whitney Houston, Kate Bush, Chrissy Hyndes, Stevie Nicks, Donna Summer, Celine Dion, Laura Branigan, Amie Mann, and a slew of others on that list where they're better than Taylor Swift.

Talyor Swift, in a nutshell, sucks!

FYI, Donna Summer and Amie Mann are both from Boston. Yes, we always support our local artists.
67   Al_Sharpton_for_President   2024 Dec 7, 6:51am  

Amie Mann is a critics’ favorite.

And the lovely, versatile Linda rode the country rock train to stardom. I watched interviews with Jackson Browne and the late JD Souther, and both complained that she was a notorious song stealer.

Linda had soul and good pipes, too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp9G0zkorio

Linda could rock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flLoj5qxURw

Notice how Taylor Swift is no longer in the conversation.

As for Linda, her cover of Buddy Holly's "It's So Easy" is actually better than the legend's original.

And Buddy Holly is the only thing that my dad and I ever had in common. Bud was the original, true genius of Rock n Roll.

Male/Female a lot of covers are better than the original. We could play, but we knew our short comings. We were B talent. A talent would have had 1-2 hits with the same songs. At least one hit wonder type stuff. Lead singer guitarists voice was too unique. Not bad, but sounded weird.

I'd love to share, but anyone on this site would immediately be able to know who I am. Kind of pisses me off because I'm proud of the work, but I don't need the drama from ass hole lurkers. I trust most regulars here.

Here's my ex-GF's doppelganger, Alanis Morissette's "Uninvited" from the 'City of Angels' soundtrack:

Once again, completely blowing away anything Taylor Swift ever did in her life.

Agree. I don't like layered vocals though. Doing your own backing track is not possible live. I'm a live guy. So that song is impossible live to sound similar.

With the right producer anyone on patnet with any musicianship could record an album. Will it sell, who the hell knows, but you could make it sound good if you have the $$$$ and impress people.
