Re: Best male vocalist #13453 09/18/07 05:33 PM Joined: Dec 2006 ''in a grey suit'' newvox Member newvox Member Joined: Dec 2006 ''in a grey suit'' I can see why Billy MacKenzie, Marc Almond, and Morrissey are listed here too. They never really sung on my type of music, but theres no denying their value as great singers.

Re: Best male vocalist #13457 09/19/07 01:19 PM Joined: Dec 2006 ''in a grey suit'' newvox Member newvox Member Joined: Dec 2006 ''in a grey suit'' Their 'Gold' hits album is brilliant but if Johns song titles are going down the pan, then spandau is going too.

Re: Best male vocalist #13460 09/20/07 12:24 PM Joined: Dec 2006 new york maryann OP Member OP maryann Member Joined: Dec 2006 new york No denying Diamond is great. It is just that when I heard Journeys to Glory when it came out I was like WOW, this is great. Then they changed "styles" so to speak and we were all a bit disappointed that they did not continue as they started.

Re: Best male vocalist #13461 09/20/07 06:47 PM Joined: Dec 2006 ''in a grey suit'' newvox Member newvox Member Joined: Dec 2006 ''in a grey suit'' Their style did change most between the first and second albums, but thats just part of any groups 'natural progression' etc. I like all their albums really but 'Gold' is a great collection in its own right. They were never what i would call an 'album band' though.
