Mark Hollis, the first EMO singer?
« on: September 28, 2008, 01:47:26 PM »

Talk-talk "Such a shame"
Live in Athens 1985.

I was talking with some buddies of mine about this song and how we all loved it and then suddenly one of them said: "You know, if (Talk-talk' leadvocalist) Mark Hollis would come out today he'd probably in an EMO band, he's got the right voice, the right attitute and the right look."

While I do admit that a lot of EMO bands got a lot of their stuff from bands like Talk-talk, I think it's rather stupid to see such a Genius as Mark Hollis as an EMO musician, what do you guys think?

Damn right I do. I admit that he has a "love-it-or-leave-it" way of singing but I love it.
