Ten Years After - Ten Years After (Deram, 1967)

https://www.marca.com/otros-deportes/2019/09/17/5d7ffeeeca474162048b4596.html Here's the list, as published by Marca last September. Totally agree on the top-3. After that, I have my own ideas...

RIP. I will spin this later today:

Of course it is partly a matter of preference, but still, there is some objective elements as to which singers do have better vocal skills (at least that is how I interprete "greatest singers"). Dylan is a genius, probably one of the 5 most relevant folk-rock-pop musicians of our era, and a favourite of mine, but... seventh place in a "greatest singers" list seems like a joke. Conversely, Witney Houston had little relevance for the history of pop music but... oh, THAT voice! However, I can agree with Aretha, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke or Otis Redding up there. Oh, and sorry for my stubbornness. I used to be very keen on making lists... I recently had a long discussion with some friends on "50 greatest Spanish sportsmen/women". Just for fun... Can we agree on the 10 greatest jazz tenor sax players? Hawk goest first, of course...

Thanks, Brad. Funny to see Lennon or Dylan way closer to the top than Rodgers. One thing is musical relevance; another one is vocal skills.

In whatever context, definitely Paul Rodgers is one of the greatest rock singers ever. Period.

Just published. Debbie cashing in! Plus: and You cannot say this is a sexy cover, but still, Susanna Hoffs was one of my muses, back in the day:

Why?

Masterpiece!

Here’s the final version of my Marathon Playlist, a circa 75 hours compilation I started preparing when I was training for my first marathon, six or seven years ago. It covers a wide range of substyles within “rock” label, plus a bit of pop and soul here and there. Strong accent is put on energetic rock, and just a few essential ballads are included, given the initial purpose of this list, which was putting me “high” while training for the marathon, and also serving me as a “musical supplement” while doing the 42k. Though it is partially intended as a “greatest hits of (most of) the different substyles of rock across more than 60 years”, obviously it is biased towards my personal tastes and yes, it includes a number of Spanish rock tracks. Nevertheless, I hope you can enjoy it. Of course, comments, suggestions and additions are most welcome. https://open.spotify.com/user/1172270841/playlist/7wyphWzIkryP4pA4FOrdrs?si=AW5C2xoqR2KR7PcZLRodTQ
