| I like Elton John, and when I read the Philip Norman bio, he described Elton's voice as taking all the sexual edge off Taupin's racier lyrics. If I'm remembering correctly, Norman said his voice is "not so much effeminate as neuter". I think that's a pretty good description of Elton's (early) voice, and this might be how you see Rory's voice. I dunno, I like Rory's vocals, nice, clear-as-a-bell, and I have no trouble thinking he's singing to a girl. What do you think of Darren Holden's Surf's Up? If it had better production, that would match or surpass the BfG version for me. sb > Question: Am I the only one around here that doesn't > think very highly of Rory Dodd as a lead vocalist? > > It seems that most folks here heap lavish praise on Rory's > lead vocal eforts on Steinsongs, but he largely leaves me > cold with what I consider to be a thin, emasculated > voice. > (When I hear Rory sings "Surf's Up," I feel like he is > singing to a dude.) > > I think he is a perfect BG guy, born and bred.
