Segue Myles Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Jim Morrison had a beautiful voice. Geddy should've been as lucky.Why should have Geddy been as lucky? Would "Hemispheres" improve with Jim Morrison's crooning? Harry Nilsson had a beautiful voice. Jim Morrison should have been as lucky. She never said Morrison should be in Rush. She just implied that yes, there are better singers than the one in Rush. Just a simple, innocent comparison, not an attack on Rush or their music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would "Hemispheres" improve with Jim Morrison's crooning? Harry Nilsson had a beautiful voice. Jim Morrison should have been as lucky. No. Hemispheres would have sounded awful had Jim been around to croon it. What I am saying is that Jim Morrison (and someone like Justin Hayward who had a similar voice) had a more soothing singing voice than Geddy. i didn't care for Harry Nilsson's voice.

Lorraine Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Another harsh singer would be Roger Daltry. That doesn't mean he can't sing, or that he doesn't have a good singing voice, it's just that it's harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to tag on "should've been so lucky" implies a negative criticism. If Jim Morrison has a "beautiful" voice and Geddy would be lucky to have a voice like Jim Morrison, doesn't that imply Geddy does not have a beautiful voice? Personally, I think Jim Morrison is a one-note singer, no range and no variety. I can't say that about Geddy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Dad Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 LOFL. Good one. What a slippery slope this thread has gone down quickly. Can we get back to the topic at hand now? Jim Morrison was fine if he was just singing. As a poet/lyricist...meh. I mean the best Morrison lyrics to me are stuff like Roadhouse Blues. Keep it simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to know anything about music or singing to be able to tell whether or not a singer has vocal range. Are you not able to tell the difference between when Geddy is going high, low or singing in a regular tone? It's pretty easy to hear the differences and tell who has vocal range and who doesn't. Geddy certainly has it. I don't know much about The Doors beyond their hits but Jim Morrison certainly sang everything in the same range and didn't seem to mix it up at all. Which is fine, that voice worked for him and a lot of singers find their one voice and stick with it. Maybe as time went on he would have experimented more with his vocals but we obviously will never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am someone who is impressed with anyone, and I do mean ANYONE, who can just carry a tune. I think Jim Morrison has a very soothing voice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
