Does anyone else share the love of barbershop quartets with me? the best harmonies in the world.
Im actually dead serious about this too ------------- I can strangle a canary in a tin can and it would be really original, but that wouldn't save it from sounding like utter sh*t. -Stone Beard |

Well, there was the King Crimson barbershop quartet (available on the reissued Three of a Perfect Pair) and Peter Gabriel's Excuse Me also has a barbershop intro - and both Fripp and Levin were involved with both songs - so I think we may have a hitherto undiscovered sub genre of prog here. Any more prog/barbershop crossovers spring to mind? ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

If the idea of a barbershop quartet backed by heavy distorted guitars & thunderous drums & bass sounds cool to you, check out King's X Dogman. One of the best groups of harmonizers in rock music, the harmonies on this album in particular sound very "barber shop"-ish.
OK, there's my monthly King's X plug.
