Stairway to Heaven is a great track but Led Zeppelin were so much more than that.

They certainly are my Favourite all time LZ track...

When I need to chill after a stressful day there is nothing better than the relaxing sound of David Sylvian's voice
https://youtu.be/x1YkHJJi-tc

never heard that or of him before, I think I will need to hear it a little more before a final decision

as for voices this guy I like to listen to and the fact that he is very easy on the eye can only help for me

The Lead singer with a band called Japan...if you have had a tough day Kate,put one of his Solo albums on shut your eyes and feel the stress drain away.

they are all tough days Steve but fortunately I don't get to stressed out about anything, hubby trying to make me a soft boiled egg does it every time though

Another old favorite of mine I like to listen to, usually in the car but have it playing right now, quite loud as am alone for a couple of hours and I like this extended version.

never a big fan of Joan or Bob, but over the years I have come to really appreciate what a talent is that is Bob Dylan, truly one of the greats for me who changed the face of music.

I would never have thought about listening to Joan but that was excellent and on the list to go to the IPod, thank you

Joan is fantastic- as is Joni

This band isn't called Japan, but they are the biggest rock band in Japan - albeit with a French name.

L'Arc-en-Ciel with their live 2015 concert L'Ar CASINO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JjmCSm ... e=youtu.be

I preferred the first half which was more in line with their output as P'unk-en-Ciel. Which explains Hyde wearing the eye patch. He looks a lot younger than 46 and his voice is still fantastic, unlike other older rockers such as Axl huff n puff Rose. Although you can clearly see the Guns N Roses influence in a lot of his moves.

The opening set up is well worth a watch, but skip to 11:00 if you want to get straight to the music.

If I had to pick best voice, Barbara would be my choice I think, yet her songs not so much.

David Sylvian (and Japan), just great, mellow and beautiful.

I'm not a DJ, but I do listen to Absolute Classic Rock regularly, and they do play a fair number of those that's true.

19 things The Matrix predicted about life in 2019 from 1999!!

https://www.vulture.com/2019/02/what-th ... -2019.html

Ohhh how I wanted to be like Trinity back then lol

surely should be the original words Morpheus asked asked Neo regarding the pills, definitely should have been the song playing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdoLcgx ... DZevgSSYoV

One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice, when she's ten feet tall

And if you go chasing rabbits, and you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar has given you the call

And call Alice, when she was just small

When the men on the chessboard get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom, and your mind is moving low

Go ask Alice, I think she'll know

When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head
