Lindsey's Vocal Ability
I know that most of the discussions are going to center around Lindsey's guitar playing...that's a given. I'm just curious though, where does everyone stand on his vocal ability?
I personally like his voice a great deal...especially live. Sometimes I prefer listening to live recordings because it's just so raw and emotional. What about y'all?

I absolutely love Lindsey's voice. I know, right?
I have no idea the tech terms for it. His voice carries a lot of emotion. My favorite to feel are when he is ballsout passionate (i.e. biglove), build-ups (i.e. SGCYM; TFTS), soft and whispery (i.e. lots of those!), playful (i.e. "I'll never change/I never will") I love how his voice has matured. I guess I just love all the variations of his voice and the emotions he expresses with it. When I hear his voice, I am sure to feel them. |

He is no great singer and really never has been. I think, though, that he could benefit from a few lessons, which would teach him diction and how not to scream. Time, IMO, has been less kind to his voice than any other member of FM.
Of course, he's made millions off of his voice, so what the hell do I knoe |

I like his voice. Its not the best now, but it isnt bad seeing as how he screams his ass off at most of his shows
I didnt really like it in the original recording of ISA, its kindof high pitched, but I love his voice from Tusk-Tango. His Tango vocals were so sexy, and i think the onlly vocal from that time i DONT like is Empire State, its just blech. His voice has aged fine though, it could have been worse. I think that his live uptempo songs sound better than say Shut Us Down type songs, IMO but the whispery songs still sound great |

If you listen to Crystal, vocally he used to lay back and let his voice glide..... Lindsey was a dream on the white album... He did some amazing stuff on Mirage too...
He's also good with sort of spoken word singing... But overall as a singer... sometimes flat... he belts and screams his voice out of tune... His voice since the Dance has a lot to be desired to my ears...

i saw him live for the first time,about a month ago, in Vegas and in San Diego and i was amazed how well he sang and how strong his voice is.In San Diego i was lucky enough to hear and see his soundcheck which lasted for about 1 hour and the concert itself lasts about 2 hours. I would think that if you can do that almost every day for months on end and not lose your voice, you're a pretty good singer. Also, Lindsey's voice is so versatile ; soft - sexy - bluesy - rocking' you name it, he sings it. iow:i really love his voice (as if you had'nt noticed yet )

I would agree mostly with this statement. I think his voice was best during the Mirage tour. It still sounded great on the Dance. I like his voice now, too, but he's lost a bit of range. I like how he "uses what he has" though. I still find him immensely entertaining.

I kind of love the fact that he doesn't use an ear monitor.

More so than to Lb's
The thing about La Nicks is she is very careful with her voice. She can still still in her higher range, but she does not. For example, she is very high in the Chris Issak Christmas video and the recent Insider with Tom Petty, which was lovely. Personally, I think she lowers her stuff so her voice will not be strained with all the touring. I think time has been kindest to CM's voice. But, CM never toured as much La Nicks and, perhaps, LB. CM also never really did any kind of vocal acrobats either - her voice, which is good, is not really suited for that like La Nicks' voice or, to a lesser extent, LB's voice. |

i'm not saying there's anything wrong with that.. but you have unlimited tries to hit the note in the studio. you get one chance live. she doesn't ever take that chance, probably because she knows she can't do it. and when they are there, they sound very nasal compared to the other notes. i think it's probably the same with lindsey.. try it til you get it in the studio, don't dare attempt it on the road.

I will say that during this last year his vocals improved SO much. He was hitting notes I didn't think he would attempt again. But, 9 months of playing will help with that.
