I was going to put this in the ‘Covers’ thread, but thought this was an appropriate spot for it.
Jimmy and Joe doing a Randy Newman number. Love it!

Final verse holy sh*t:
Shattering. Though for pure Cobain I always come back to Aneurysm.
I betcha no-one expected Roger Miller to appear in this thread - yet here he is -
I thought I was being a bit different with Roger Miller in this thread - then you go and pair-up Abba with AC/DC!From the top end of the musical alphabet, Abba and AC/DC...
Exhibit A. Wait for it!
Exhibit B. Bugger off Susan!
Exhibit C. If you can't wait, listen from 4-11 through to 4-39 for what I can only describe as voice shredding. What a talent. Bass player, song writer, singer and Australian.
Sorry if the title of the thread is a bit clumsy-sounding. They were the best adjectives I could come up with when I decided to create this thread. Hopefully the song examples I have included provide people with an understanding of what I am referring to.
I was interested in putting together some songs which feature raspy or screeching vocals. The songs do not necessarily feature raspy vocals all the way through, more they highlight excellent use of screeching or raspy singing to give the song a certain character.
To begin I will feature Paul McCartney, who could easily feature in 10 or 12 such songs. The song I will feature here is I’m Down. McCartney’s voice is raspy and screechy pretty much all the way through which suits the rocking nature and upbeat tempo of the song.
Another good example of Paul’s raspy vocals is in Oh Darling, which prompted John Lennon to tell Playboy magazine in his 1980 interview that if Paul “had any sense, he would have let me sing it.”
This is “Old Siam, Sir” from Paul’s Wings days.
Joe Cocker shows getting raspy can work well in a ballad.
