John Farnham kicks ASS!!!

[G.I.Jim]

I've seen him mentioned in here before and have seen a clip or two of him, but DAAAAAMMMMMNNNNN!!!!! I just spent the last 2 hours on youtube and Itunes checking his songs out and he is freaking INCREDIBLE!!! Here are a couple of cool videos to check out...


"Burn For You"

Here's "Playing To Win". He sounds SO much like Lou Gramm here that it's scary! 61 years old when he recorded this, and it's freaking CRAZY good!!!

Here's "Age Of Reason". Sounds like Jon Cain after 2:30 ish. AWESOME song! He sounds a LOT like Richard Page on this. Very cool.

He just earned a nice purchase from me! Just bought his 27 song greatest hits off of Itunes. Can't WAIT to dig into this!!!

Farnham is one of the best. Funny, the last few weeks I've been listening a lot to the three albums he did with LRB.

Age of Reason (Solo) is one of my top 10 or 20 albums ever. I think Whispering Jack was bigger, but I connect more with "Reason".

I checked them out and will probably pick up both albums. Whispering Jack seems pretty dated, but there's some good songs on it for sure. "Reason" sounds more up my alley. It's dated too, but I think it sounds awesome from the clips. Thanks!

"The Voice" has been covered by Heart, Anne really nails as well.

I wasn't aware of the Chapel Sessions album before your post. I got it right away and cannot stop listening. The whole thing is phenomenal. I ordered the DVD through Amazon.

Who sounds this good at that age? Crazy!

If anyone has a dvd player that can play PAL, there are several really good live shows out there, and there is also a tv special (from the Jack of Hearts tour) that's on youtube. Simply amazing singer, who has lost virtually nothing.

Speaking of live stuff, you have to be REALLY good to pull this one off...

I'm just amazed how good this guy could sing after being a smoker . I like some of the stuff he did with LRB but I don't really care for his solo stuff ........Yet a powerful voice no doubt
