> [@Lust4Life](#): > > Elton John, very, very, limited vocal range and songs that are as about interesting as listening to paint dry. Now. He just blew his voice out - but Crocodile Rock and Goodbye Yellow Brick Road showed tremendous range. It’s not like he’s Lou Reed or anything… ---

That dead guy with the breathy, breezy voice. The guy with the Leonard Cohen cover tune everyone but me seems to love. Can’t stand him. ---

> [@Lust4Life](#): > > Elton John, very, very, limited vocal range and songs that are as about interesting as listening to paint dry. Elton had an amazing voice before he blew out his vocal cords in the 80’s. Amazing. Limited is not a term that was often used to describe it. ---

Can’t we get this thread moderated. Pink Floyd really shouldn’t be spoken about like that ---
