I may have already posted this....couldn't check the whole thread....decided to take some liberty and post bluesy numbers from non-bluesy artists.

For those who are tempted to say that Brian May never did the blues.

The common opinion on Paul Rogers is that he is the greatest Rock singer of all time. He has a very good voice but I think he has a very generic sound too. To me , everything he does sounds the same ???.

Free was the early 70s. He was what, 20 or so? Undoubtedly, he was at his best in Free and Bad Co. The "Muddy Water Blues" album was done in '93 if memory serves - and he has done a fair amount of recording since then. Compared to most rock vocalists from his era, his voice has held up remarkably well. I am one of those who consider him to be the top dog. His voice, IMHO, is the best blend of blues, soul and rock ever. He managed to get all of that emotion and grit into (with Bad Co) three-minute rock staples. Lou Gramm is another guy who had that gift, but sadly, his health issues cheated him out of at least a decade or so, and his voice has not weathered the storms well.

While I am a huge Rogers fan, whenever this conversation comes up I always like to remind people of how amazingly good Steve Marriot was in this regard. "the best blend of blues, soul and rock ever" applies to Marriot in equal terms to Rogers IMHO. Both guys have/had incredible pitch too which is something that ppl seem to take to easily for granted.

Henry Rollins? IMHO no matter what he calls it, that's not blues. Just Henry's plodding pretentious pseudo-metal.

of course its not 'real' blues. like a lot of stuff i post i can find microscopic evidence of the genre in it. just a feeling, really.

More funk than blues.  Still an unexpected source.
