Yeah, she's right there in the same vein as Karen Carpenter. 
Actually, Janis Joplin was a horrible singer. She never did much besides scream into the microphone.
Ok that is your opinion, so the little degrading of someone elses opinion with the little isnt necessary. I really am not much of a Joplin fan but many are. Why would you ask for peoples opinions and then try to criticize them for them?? Oh yeah I remember why.

While we are talking about the women, Melissa Etheridge has a pretty good rock voice, IMO.
Yes, cant really say I am a fan of her music but Etheridge does have a good voice.

The reason I used the was because you said "in the same vein" while referring to Karen Carpenter and Janis Joplin. They were two singers with completely different styles, to say the very least. Sorry you misunderstood that. I wasn't criticizing your opinion, I was offering my opinion of your opinion regarding Joplin as one of rock's greatest vocal talents. Nothing more and nothing less.

I dont remember.
I wasnt comparing their styles at all I was simply bringing up another female singer from that general era. Was Joplin and Carpenter considered rock. Were they more folk singers??

I am not sure if that was directed at me or not because the You Tube I posted was of Aaron Lewis doing a cover of Black.
Even Eddie Vedder said Aaron Lewis sang it better than he did, but Aaron Lewis and Staind has never tried to emulate Vedder or Pearl Jam.

No, it wasn't directed at you...and I didn't mean Staind...I'm not a particular fan of Staind but I feel they at least hold credibility...I was thinking along the lines of Nickelback or Creed or any of the other ninety bands that I think are all the same.

Ok wasnt sure, thanks, my feelings were hurt for a second 
I kind of agree with you on the Nickleback, Creed thing. Though I do enjoy some of the Nickleback songs. I was kind of more thinking of all the Seattle ands that came out right after Pealr Jam hit it big. The Meat Puppets, Gin Blossoms and those type of bands.

Old School, I'd have to go with Freddy. A few years ago Elton John and Axl Rose had to do a duet of Bohemian Rhapsody, probably because they wouldn't be able to pull off at least one part of the song by themselves.
Present day ... go ahead and laugh, but Dexter Holland of Offspring. Seems like I can never hear a good Offspring cover because nobody can hit the same notes that Dexter does.

There were rumors a few years back that DeYoung was going to front Queen after his legal issues with Styx.
He could probably do a pretty good job of it, but there isn't anyone out there with the range of Mercury.... Not that I have heard anyway.

I just think of Janice Joplin from the sixties and the Carpenters from the 70's and 80's. It's just my recollection, I really didn't research it. I'm sure you did, cause you LOVE being right.  Good for you!

jc.. OK, this thread is going all over the place. To truly determine or name a "Best Vocalist" some guidelines should be stated. Because I'm sorry, when I think of good vocalists, Janis Joplin really did not have a good voice, she had great songs, but have her since a Whitney Houston tune and you'd thing Roseann Barr was doing the national anthem again.  Eddy Vedar(sp?) as well, really doesn't have what I would consider a good voice, he sings his songs well, but his voice isn't all that appealing. I would consider a good vocalist as someone who has a decent range, good solid pitch, and the ability to sing most any song and make it sound good, and even more so, do it without effects and still sound good.
We don't have to agree with each other, to respect each others opinion.

You are correct Jules, Joplin had her hits in the 60's....whereas the Carpenters had most of their hits in the 70's.
No research needed.

Was he the best just in terms of voice? No, but we're talking rock n roll here. It's all about how you sing it not how you sound in terms of how well you hit notes.

Well if you dont know about something doesnt it make sense to research it??
Actually as far as being right, I think you are. Joplin passed in 1970 so she definetly wasnt from 1970s. Though Carpenter started in 65 she was a drummer I think at the beginning. I would ay as a singer Carpenters fame came in the 70s.
SO THERE I ADMITTED IT YOU ARE RIGHT
