For example, my sister and I were arguing over whose voice was better from Fleetwood Mac: Stevie Nix VS Christine McVie... Reply #1. May 01 18, 9:20 AM |

Stevie Nicks had a sexier voice, Christine McVie overdid the bombast on mediocre songs like Don't Stop but made up for it on songs like Songbird. Songs from Stevie's solo album Belladonna, like Edge Of Seventeen, Kind Of Woman and the title track are well worth listening to. McVie's best Fleetwood Mac song is You Make Loving Fun. What about Robert Plant versus Roger Daltrey? Both brilliant, both perfectly suited to their respective bands. Reply #2. May 02 18, 6:05 AM |

In my opinion Stevie Nicks gets the edge because I feel she had a better solo career. But I love both of them. Sectant, could not agree more with your songs you suggested for both Fleetwood Mac ladies. Dang, I need to listen to my Best Of album again! Robert Plant versus Roger Daltrey... hmmm.... I think Roger Daltrey gets the win. Slightly. I think Robert Plant is more well-known and respected, though. I pretty much like the same amount of songs for their respective bands, but quality wise, I simply love Eminence Front more than any Led Zeppelin song. Reply #3. May 02 18, 9:15 AM |

Okay, let's try this one then... Frank Sinatra versus every other singer on the planet. And maybe even other planets. I mean Zorgo Gagravoxx from the planet Magadoodoo comes close but he had four heads and four different voices to choose from. No seriously, who's better than Frank? Reply #4. May 02 18, 10:16 AM |

Mr. Gagravoxx has won eight Zongo awards on his planet, though. That's perhaps not fair to Mr. Sinatra. He is certainly one of the best! I'm not saying these men are better, but I would put them in the conversation: Sam Cooke, Seal, Brent Smith, Josh Groban, David Bowie, Matthew Bellamy, Bing Crosby, Freddie Mercury... oh boy. This is hard... Reply #5. May 03 18, 9:31 AM |

That's two awards for each head. Doesn't really count though, he ate them afterwards, they do things differently on Magadoodoo. The thing about Sinatra is it's not just the voice. It's the phrasing, the breathing technique, the way he gets those little unexpected pauses in there, the notes he holds for what seems like forever, the perfect diction. And that run of albums at Capitol from 1953 to 1958 is unparallelled. Only singer that gives me goosebumps, especially those amazing torch songs on the Only The Lonely album. The title track sends shivers down your spine. It's not the same Only The Lonely song as the Roy Orbison one by the way. Check it out, I offer it as Exhibit A in my case for Sinatra being the greatest. Along with every song on Songs For Swingin' Lovers. Reply #6. May 03 18, 3:18 PM |

Zorgo Gagravoxx's daughter, Hyperia Maximoll Gargavandox, an occasional visitor to this site and to Earth, wrote and told me that Magadoodoonians are all Frank Sinatra fans and that her famous father is still recording and has an album out soon called By The Light Of The Silvery Earth. Mostly reworkings of classic tunes, it includes Beethoven's Earthlight Sonata with specially written lyrics, Debussy's Clair De Earth ditto, and two original songs in his native tongue: Olgy Zak Imek Garox, which translates as It Ain't Easy Walkin' Around With Four Heads and Tagalito Puree Mexophor Salubrix? which translates as That Last Word Looks Suspiciously Like Latin, But Is It?

But remember when that Magadoodooian released that one record, "Datsag Oilana Stigoo" which translated into "Oh Delicious Human"? I recall there was quite some controversy when he tried to eat his translator. Things always have to be controversial in music, mustn't they? Reply #8. May 07 18, 8:00 AM |

How can I forget that incident, it went viral on the Inter(Planetary)Net. Controversy and music go hand in hand. Or on Magadoodoo, hand in hand in hand in hand in webbed feet in hand in head in head in head in hand. Latest music news from Magadoodoo...Murf Haravuq and Zok Weewa got inducted into their Rock and Roll Songwriters Hall Of Fame. Temperamental diva, Ahashi Wokkazog, has cancelled her concerts at Magamopolis Stadium, sacked her entire road crew, and is thinking of moving to the nearby planet Minix to have a good crying fit. Apparently her backstage demands, including the obliteration of Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune during her final production number, would not be met. Her manager, Juffa Helioglobulux, was unable to provide further information because Ahashi fed him to her son Toxo. Reply #9. May 07 18, 2:41 PM |

Things could get ugly, considering Unahai Globsdook thought she deserved to reach the Rock and Roll Songwriters Hall of Fame possibly before Murf Haravuq, certainly before Zok Weewa. We don’t want another Blungweeg VS Fyertweg on our hands. And their multiple hands. Reply #10. May 08 18, 10:57 AM |

The problem is one of internal politics and favouritism, just like here with the Oscars and the Grammys and the Emmys. For instance, in 1979, or 9791 if any Magadoodoonian is reading this, the odds on favourite to win the Album Of The Year at the Maggy awards was Plinx for their debut effort, Tyg Gaffy Vorax, loosely translated as This Is Our Debut Effort. Unfortunately their lead singer, Khag Olorog, had recently been quoted in Stars And Comets And Things, the most popular music magazine on Magadoodoo, where he said awards meant nothing to him and the voting panel were all smug cephalopods with very small brains, far too many eyes and absolutely no ears for music, in some cases no ears at all. As a result, the panel failed to honour Plinx in any category and Album Of The Year went to Smag Obloot, a band of lesser talent but not as prone to rock the boat. Or starship. Or whatever it is they ride around in on Magadoodoo. Needless to say, the brawl backstage between Khag Olorog and Smag Obloot's lead singer Liam Gallagher, the name a total coincidence by the way, no connection with Oasis, was the only highlight of a rather drab awards ceremony.

Haha! I was going to leap into this, but I think you two might be from another planet! Not that that's a bad thing, mind you. I'm going with Stevie vs. Christine because I like her voice better, and Robert Plant over Daltrey because hello, he's Robert Plant. I can't imagine anyone else singing any of the Led Zep songs, even though I know they didn't write most of them. But listen to "When The Levee Breaks" and then try to get it out of your head. Even if you listen to the Memphis Minnie original, you'll probably wish you didn't. Reply #12. May 08 18, 2:05 PM |

There is only one Robert Plant for sure, but do you guys remember when Jason Bonham started up his own band called "Bonham", I guess it must have been in the late 80s? They came out with that one song called "Wait For You" and the first time I ever heard it, I had just turned the radio on and it was already playing. It was a very eerie experience for me because I honestly thought I was listening to Zeppelin, and my mind was really racing right along with all the possible scenarios to what was happening all over God's front lawn. Was this a Zep tune that just never made it on any other album for some reason? Had Zep somehow by the grace of God gotten back together with a new drummer? Who dat singin' dat nassy tune? Anyway, I can't remember the kid's name doing the vocals on that song, and from what I understand, that guy is no longer living, but you have to admit, he sounded remarkably like Plant, but just on that one song and not so much at all on the rest of the album. If any of you have never heard that song before, you really should check it out. Reply #13. May 08 18, 6:18 PM |

Blackdresss: I couldn't agree more! It's goofy fun :) I think many of the Magadoodoonian people are still bitter about Plinx. Then again, you know what they say: Sniisnii Tushinga. I don't know what that means but they sure seem to like that expression. The closest translation we've gotten is something like "Eat your oranges slowly." Reply #14. May 09 18, 9:22 AM |

I don't know about Bonham doing that, Kevin, but I'll definitely check it out. Surely YouTube will have it? Reply #15. May 09 18, 11:22 AM |

According to Encyclopedia Magalactica, 'Sniisnii Tushinga' is a corruption of 'Sneeze' and 'Tissue', hence the 'eat your oranges slowly' definition. The slower an orange is eaten, the less likely you'll succumb to sudden bouts of sneezing. Incidentally, oranges on Magadoodoo are in fact purple. Correct me if I'm wrong, and I'm 100% sure that I am, but didn't Jason Bonham tour with Plinx? Reply #16. May 09 18, 2:47 PM |

You know what, my copy of the Encyclopedia Magalactica is out of date! No wonder I didn't get that translation! What do you think of that Magadoodoonian up-and-comer Biewyx? I think he's already getting a big(ger) head about his accolades. Reply #17. May 10 18, 10:16 AM |

Yet to hear Biewyx but have read up on him/her/it. Another example of the son/daughter/thing from another planet coasting along on the coat tails/gooey rubbery dresswear/ of successful and famous parents. All eight of Biewyx's fathers and seventeen mothers (they have a very unusual way of conceiving children on Magadoodoo, but they all seem to have fun in the process) were recording artists and much loved ones at that. At the age of seventeen, neetneves in Magadoodoonian, Biewyx asked one of the mothers, Ma Biewyx, to pull a few strings and get a recording deal happening. And sure enough, the strings were pulled, the blinds were drawn, the window was opened and Biewyx got the recording contract. Apparently this next generation Biewyx does show remarkable talent but as you say SFJ, his head is getting bigger with all the accolades. Or maybe it's just another typical physiological oddity or some kind of weird dietary thing that's causing the head expansion. I have the out of date Encyclopedia Magalactica too SFJ, the entry on Sniisni is right at the back in the Addenda section. Page 267,578,568 and a half. Reply #18. May 10 18, 4:08 PM |

Or her head. Or its head. Is getting bigger. Reply #19. May 10 18, 4:17 PM |

Many think Biewyx has had it too easy; some could say he was born with a silver grofx in his (first) mouth. However, he has talent, and his future is bright (*but not too bright, as the Magadoodoonians learned the hard way, as their skin turns a bright purple, thus shaming said Magadoodoonian for their entirety, with the possibility of passing down the purple to their offspring, though the chances are low with the number of partners you're able to garner). I've been spending too long with my Magadoodoonian friends, as seen in my run-on sentences! As we all know, apart from their propensity for human flesh, they adore long sentences! Reply #20.
