There should have been more than one Steely Dan song with Walter Becker on vocals.

Spiral Stairs should have probably had more songs on Pavement records, but that little bitch Malkmus wasn't having it.

I'm also a huge Lou Barlow fan (Sebadoh > Dinosaur Jr.), so I prefer more Barlow singing/songs on Dino Jr. albums.

Re: Bands In Which the Backup Singer Should Have Been Promot
Yeah, Lee and Kim's songs always instantly stood out for me. "Wish Fulfillment" and "JC" are probably my 2 favorites from Dirty.tragabigzanda wrote:Sonic Youth is tricky, because they split the singing duties up roughly:
Thurston: 60%
Kim: 20%
Lee: 20%
Anyway, Lee & Kim are both better than Thurston. Kim's output quality is wildly all over the place, but like 90% of the Lee songs are awesome.

Bilinda Butcher's voice is way better and generally more fitting of MBV's sound than Kevin Shields' stupid voice.

Re: Bands In Which the Backup Singer Should Have Been Promot
I don't think those percentages are right. Kim was lead singer on more than 20%, and Lee on less than 20%.Sonic Youth is tricky, because they split the singing duties up roughly:
Thurston: 60%
Kim: 20%
Lee: 20%
Maybe 55-33-12

someone please go through every Sonic Youth song and figure out the correct ratio. i won't be able to sleep tonight without it.Captain Termite wrote:I don't think those percentages are right.

i must have played The Sebadoh 1000 times when it came out too. i loved that album for some reason. "Flame" is still a super great, catchy song.

Re: Bands In Which the Backup Singer Should Have Been Promot
The five album run of Sebadoh III, Bubble & Scrape, Bakesale, Harmacy and The Sebadoh is amazing.
I'd probably go Bakesale as my fav.

Re: Bands In Which the Backup Singer Should Have Been Promot
i never listen to his solo albums, but i was pleasantly surprised by Phil Selway's vocals. i had zero expectation. it's interesting to hear how influenced he is by Thom Yorke's singing (when Thom sings)
