Most of the names on your list I either haven't heard, haven't knowingly heard, or haven't heard for long enough to form an opinion. Freddie Mercury is the major exception, since it would be hard to have missed Queen.
I think you've exaggerated what I said far beyond what I intended it to mean. It's entirely possible that I appreciate the artistry in the sense that if someone not so good covered a Queen song I might think there was something missing (see "not up to the job"). However, I don't listen to it and have it consciously strike me that a particularly good piece of singing just happened, in the same way that it does strike me when (say) a particularly good bit of tune goes past.
I probably do appreciate instrumental playing more; comes of having tried it fairly seriously myself, I suppose. |
