I do love me some Warkings. The lead singer is actually a history professor. (Melissa Bonny, aka Queen of the Damned, is also amazing.)

Last good song you listened to?

I mentioned Alea from Saltatio Mortis a few days ago. Here's another example of him providing the base for other singers to soar off of.

Seriously, tho, if Melissa just went a poppier, between her singing/writing talent and her looks, she would be a massive star. Altho I guess she'd have to stop the metal growls. I have so much respect for her.

This is not about Buckley's version, it's obviously one of the best. But it explains part of why I generally hate the covers of Hallelujah.

How many people have I seen butcher that song? And its always the same reason, they try to over sing it.
I remember I was about 14 when I first was given a copy of Grace, my older cousin who had been to one of his shows in Melbourne gave me, Grace, Dummy and Murder Ballads. (I think it was early 96?) Those three albums really started to change the music I listened to, like most kids that age I was really into grunge and a bit of the older stuff like Dylan and Zeppelin. But that exposure started getting me into stuff like Nina Simone, Beth Orton, the Dirty Three, Bjork and on and on and on.
