Janis Joplin's vocal chops are insane. Loved the bluesy Summertime with its noisy guitar solos and Joplin's crooning. Generally the blues cuts here are far superior. Thought Combination of the Two and Piece of My Heart were kinda annoying.

Not bad. I didn't know about Janis stuff before solo work. I enjoyed it OK, but wasn't blown away by any means.
I know some people can't deal with Billy Corgan's voice, but I don't usually mind it. Others don't like Geddy Lee, and I think he sounds fine. Some of you guys expressed indifference to Dave Mustaine yesterday, and I'm generally cool with it. But Janis Joplin's voice has always bugged me. There's definite power in it, but it's too screechy for me, there's almost no technique. The musicians themselves are great, but I don't know if I'll ever side with her abilities. D+
God. Damn. Hippies.
