I didn`t find a thread for Janis Joplin here so i thought i`d start one.. I`m sure there`s at least a few here that appreciate her. To me Janis is one the great ones.Easily the best female singer of all time.Her raw,powerful voice which at the same time had so much passion and sensitivity. Love Janis! What do you think?

I absolutely love Janis Joplin! She had such a powerful soulful voice. She was a great performer too...I love watching old footage of her singing. Has anyone seen the documentary Festival Express? If you are a fan of Janis or The Grateful Dead or The Band it's a must see.

She actually has a very similar voice to Shannon's. If you ever hear Shannon sing "Mercedes Benz" he sounds just like her.

There are some excellent live performances on it. It also shows very intimate moments of the bands all hanging out together as they toured Canada via train. It was seriously one big party.

Shannon and Janis were so much alike.Both Shannon and Janis were passionate and loving people,amazing songwriters and amazing singers,kind of similar voice.Also there`s similarities on the darker side of the two.Drugs,same cause of death,dying young.

I have an old Classic Rock magazine and there`s quite a few pages about Janis.The train-tour is included..Yea,it seemed to be some party..Janis said something like this..."There were 300 men on the train and i only got laid 75 times" Or something close to that. Haha!.

Yeah, Festival Express was an amazing documentary! I really want to buy that one! Can you imagine partying on a train with Janis and the Grateful Dead, and all of those others? That must have been so cool. www.festivalexpress.comAnd Janis, OMG. She is amazing! My favorite tune from her is "Down on Me".

Ryan, you should definitely buy it...Greg and I watch ours a lot. You'll find yourself popping it in more often than you might think.

I don`t think i can even imagine how awesome it would have been on that train..Late 60`s,non stop partying,going from concert to concert...We can only dream.. For me it`s hard to choose a favourite Janis song but Cry Baby has always been played alot in my stereo..Something special about her voice in that song,so raw it almost hurts..
