Not for nuthin' but whether you like the band or not, Joey Ramone had a very beautiful voice.
Every time I hear the Ramones I wax nostalgic to hear them live again. All of them are dead except for Tommy I think.

Great voice.

I miss Aretha but am glad Gladys Knight still has a great voice.

I saw Dylan in concert in 1978, lets just say he was a great song writer and when in the studio they could do wonders with his vocals for the recording, Live left a bit to be desired.

Is music theory needed to write songs?

case in point: Amazing Grace: the true story of the conversion of its composer
written in the late 1770's by John Newton. Newton had no musical training, in fact he was a wretched man Conscripted in the Royall Navy as a young man, he lived a life of debauchery as most sailors do. When his service was over he became a slave trader. In the late 1740's he was on a vessel off the coast of Ireland during a violent storm that battered the vessel severely. That experience started his conversion to Christianity; in the mid 1750's he stopped slaving and left the sea for good. He started studying Theology, and was ordained in 1764. He has written many hymns, but Amazing Grace is known all over the world.
So I guess all you need is proper motivation or the right inspiration to write a song.
Every one has heard Amazing Grace, but how many knew the story of its creator?

I've of course heard the song, but did not know the story of the writer. I asked about music theory because my husband and son actually started to get into a heated argument about it earlier. I said jesus christ who gives a fuck and left the room. Then I figured this thread was a good place to mention it. If BG was around he'd probably have a say.

Music Theory is not required to write songs. Some believe it helps with continuity, others say it's too restrictive. I'm of the opinion that whatever works for a particular writer works because the audience is where the rubber meets the road. If they like it and you've employed music theory then that works for that audience, but on the other hand we have "mumble rap" now which doesn't employ music theory, or even most conventional music standards on the whole, but their audience is eating it up. *shruggs* I've had 2 years of music theory. I lost interest.
