I see it, but I'm just sayin' that Trent Reznor's voice should give depth to the lyrics by virtue of the fact that he's the one who wrote them. ;)

Well, sure. I'm not saying the contrary, but just talking about the pure ring to it. Trent's isn't.. hm. Dunno. I have nothing against him and I actually like NiN and all, but the song just sounds totally different so it's hard to really compare.

Plus, well, I guess in the context of Cash it totally still makes sense. The lyrics I mean.

And on the subject. Britney has, in my opinion, a fantastic team behind her. Say what you will, but to pull an album out of her broken image with a song titled "give me more" is pure genius. Lamentable, but still.

Yes

Sigur Ros

Queen

Travis

Gomez

Pink Floyd (a few albums at least)

Radiohead-- In response to a (much) earlier post, they definitely have acknowledged classical influences, all the way from Hector Berlioz to Olivier Messiaen. Didn't know that about the Tristan chord, I'll have to try and find it :cool:

Someone mentioned Nickel Creek -- Chris Thile is absolutely incredible. I honestly haven't heard a lot of Nickel Creek, but I saw the Punch Brothers live just recently and their album is fantastic as well. Bela Fleck is great too.

I'm a huge fan of Manhattan Transfer... they are *all* over the place - bland pop, jazz, vocalese, even some country cr4p. They are completely unafraid of dissonance. Trust me, it takes skill to sing entire passages a minor second away from other people - on purpose!

LOVE to sing along.
