        No need to suspend the man card. She was very good 20 years ago.

            There was a story read by the local morning radio show discussing who had the most versatile voice to appear at one of the arenas in Chicago(?). Their equipment said, of all people that had appeared there within the last 35/40 years, Axl Rose had the greatest range of any performer. The place had hosted vocal heavyweights over the years too, not just rock bands. They were talking about the lady power pop singers, Queen had been there as they talked about Freddy Mercury at length, and some other acts like Aretha Franklin. The recordings of Axl Rose, according to the guy selling his book, were from GnR's days at the top of Rock n Roll's kingdom, before he really let himself go.

              Mariah had 8 octaves, IIRC. Axl could sing in studio, but live, wasn't that good. Great showman, but voice didn't carry over in a non-controlled setting, IMO. Freddie and Cornell were awesome.

                  Mariah's range was something else.

                      Her whistle register is bizarre -- it's under control and she can even form words (albeit barely) in it. She doesn't have the power or breath control to be a coloratura soprano but she's one of the few popular singers who wouldn't be laughed off the stage in opera.

                      Of course, there's also these two ladies, who lived above D6.

                        Personally I'd start with Fear of a Blank Planet. Interestingly it was their 2nd to last album and usually artists that far into their career are on a decline, but they seemed to get better. After that take your pick of Deadwing, Lightbulb Sun or In Absentia. From their live works Anesthetize is fantastic.

                          Purchased. Thanks for the tip but I think it may end up costing me some $$.

                            Band is 30 years old and I had never heard of them. That's on me.

                              Band is 30 years old and I had never heard of them. That's on me.
                              I myself found them by accident only within the last several years. Wish I would have discovered them earlier as I am sure they would be great in concert - especially at a place like First Avenue.

                              When I was still in MN I'd often go to one of our local Hennepin County Libraries. While there login to the internet and do some research. One method was, "artists like" at last.fm using artists that I like to get new ideas. I'd also check out album reviews at Spin, Rolling Stone, etc. HCL allows you to request that CDs from their catalog be delivered to your nearest location and an e-mail would be sent once it was in. I could then check it out for free and see if I liked the band or not. Surprisingly they had just about EVERY cd I ever looked up - typically in the genres alt-rock, classic rock, blues, hip-hop/rap, progressive, world music, etc.

                              Now with nearly everything on Youtube that's no longer necessary, but the research method still works and it's turned me on to dozens and dozens of artists I either didn't know about or had never really dove into their work yet.

                              From that I just roll my eyes when people say, "There's no good music being made these days". Preposterous - there's a lot of it you just have to look. I'm pretty obsessive though when it comes to music listening so your mileage may vary.

                                I do something similar using Pandora, but for some reason their catalog is limited. Maybe they don't have licensing with everybody.
