Two wonderful female singers of the late Sixties.
Which one do you prefer?

Amos Goldberg (professor of Genocide Studies at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem): Yes, it's genocide. It's so difficult and painful to admit it, but we can no longer avoid this conclusion.

And ... she was very sexy! ;-)

Grace Slick, especially the way she sang "White Rabbit".. I also love Janis singing her guts out to "Piece of My Heart"

An easy choice for me: Grace Slick. I'm a big fan of Jefferson Airplane.
By the way, is that Peter Hammill of Van Der Graaf Generator in your avatar?

Only two albums but Ruth Copeland really should have been more popular in the early 70's.
Ruth would have (and still alive but "off grid") been an even tougher choice against these vocalists. No, SINGERS! Voted Janis but Grace did the trippier stuff. (And Ruth brings it to your kitchen sink!) |

Hi,
Choosing one is hard ... but in the end, Grace went on to do a lot more work than Janis, who sadly, got burned out too soon. The amount of work Grace did, kinda wins this poll for me .... but there are things that Big Brother and Janis did, that are valuable ... when you hear "Ball and Chain" from one of the best rock albums EVER, you know right away where so many "progressive" rock guitarists got their ability and mojo ... and it was simply outasight and incredible. Except that getting progressive folks to listen to it is ... strange ... why am I listening to hard blues? Geeee ... maybe I should ask Led Zep the same question?

Led Zeppelin were previously known as the New Yardbirds, and the group changed their name to Led Zeppelin after Keith Moon & John Entwistle of The Who unkindly suggested their music would go down like a lead balloon.

even 'prog fan' ets the blues Pedro... and their f**king Genesis albums ain't getting them through that... not even Neil Peart's grade school philosophy for dummies can help see even progger needs love... some wang dang sweet.. hahah
and ain't getitng it and need some Janis along with a bottle of SC.. a time honored blues tradition. Put on some old school blues. not SRV but real stuff man.. get f**ked up and howl at the moon and break a bottle over some frat boys head and .. you know.. amazingly.. things seem better afterward. The magic of the blues that prog just can't do.. |

Janis was a personality.
Grace was a personality with a truly amazing voice. Easy choice. |

Yep. Janis was a personality rather than a singer. I never liked her vocals.

I'm glad that someone else agrees with me that Janis Joplin was overrated as a singer, because I've never been a big fan of hers either.

Joplin was one of a kind-- a homely and spectacularly talented Blues artist who was easily seen as a screechy showgirl. Ragged soul, striking character, the greatest white blues singer of all time. |

Yup, fire & fire, I'd say Janis had an outstanding voice, but Grace outdid her (she ciould sing in Spanish too), because she was a songwriter too... and even a progressive one too, her Manhole album is absolutely stunning. |

^^ I agree. I love Grace Slick's "Manhole" album too, especially the 15-minute-long title track sung in English and Spanish.

Bullpuckyalamerde! I was doing the colorful stuff and listening on my headset Nektar, Hawkwind, Amon Duul 2, TFTO, TAAB, APP, and just about all the early HARVEST label stuff when Roy Harper and Kevin Ayers and Capability Brown lit up your imagination like a lot of "blues" stuff never did! VIVE LA LUMINACION!

I like the stuff she did with Paul ... really great material, and then, later, how she adjusted and made her vocals so valuable to Starship ... hearing some of the stuff she did with Marty ... is down right amazing ... I don't think there are many singers that can even consider that!
