My friends and I always noticed a similarity between her and Shannon's voice. It surreal. Lol as a side note for some reason everytime I start singing "Mercedes Benz" around other people they hate it lol. It tends to get people really angry, or maybe it's just me? Haha...

Janis Joplin was bloody amazing. I read her bio and it's amazing what she accomplished when you know where she came from. There's a independent spirit.

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? Wow, awesome pic Joel! I was wondering how I missed this thread although I don't check this section of the forum lately...then I saw that it just started today! Anyways, yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh, Janis ROCKS!!! My favorite is Me&Bobby McGee, classic, I know, but still...this song is WOOOOAAAAAH! I love it, hehe

Awwwwwwwww I ADORE Janis Joplin.. She's right up there with Melon for me, man. I also read a few of her bios Ishy, and what makes me love her most is that I can relate to so much from her younger days... Check out this link www.viagensmaneiras.com/viagens/arembepe.htmit has pictures of a pretty famous hippie commune in Bahia where supposedly Janis stayed during her trip to Brazil in 1970 (i think?) Pretty badass place, Ive always wanted to go visit... Next time I go to Brazil Im there. Also I live about 3 hrs from her hometown Port Arthur... My friend and I always talk about going out there on her birthday, blasting her music and drinking some Southern Comfort, but alas, if you read my last comment on the What the Fuck/Drunken Tales thread, I think I'll skip the Soco part. My Favorties are Misery'n, Work Me Lord and of course Kosmic Blues... Mercedes Benz is my ringtone! My dad says it sounds like a chicken

Hi...i have to admit you something....:S:S don´t kill me please!!!
I don`t know much about this woman, in fact i don`t know even one song of her, or maybe i know it an di don`t know that she sings it.... but my point isn`t this,
a couple months ago i was looking the ROlling Stone mag, which edits here in Argentina, and i saw inside a little note about the special edition that came out in USA for the 1000 editions, so i could look in the little pic about the cover if this mag a looooot of artists there as they were all possing together for the pic , when really they were all overput with some pc prog jejej
and in that moment i say: IS SHANNON in front of all! with a microphone... and i said that i was hoping that Argentina edits that special too...
so after a few months more the special 1000 eidition came to Argentina traduced and i saw again the cover bigger than before and said again that was Shannon..i was happy cause in the cover i guess you all see it, are all great and memorable people, and like BM had their RS cover.... and when i turned the page and read the names of all i read that in this position is janis Joplin....:S:S:S:S
i tell you that nowadays i watch this cover and keep thinking that is shannon....
sorry about that for the fans
kisses Laura

My dad is just weird If chickens sounded that good I'd have one for a pet so I could listen to it all day Beegirl, I know where you're coming from... I think Shannon and Janis could pass as siblings, dont you think?
