Here's my most recent:

Mick Jagger: Still got it. Saw him in November. No problems there.

Bob Seger: Has trouble with pushing his voice out there but still an enjoyable show. Turn the Page is wonderful.

James Taylor: Nope, can't sing anymore. He hits the refrains strong which are his most notable parts but is weak on the rest of the song. At points even sounded slightly off key. Wouldn't see him again.

Jackson Brown: Same show as JT above. Sound perfect but doesn't sing many of his songs that you want to hear.

Saw Elton John at a private event in 2007. Can't hit the high notes even then. Sings in a lower octave and it's noticeable.

Don Henley: Still can hit those high notes but haven't seen him since just before Glenn died.

The lead singer of the Sawyer Brown band still sounds the same and his stage presence is still there too although maybe he isn't as intense compared to what is shown of him in the following video, but when you are at a performance from them these days, you will not be disappointed.



God bless you and him and the other present and past members always!!!

Holly

P.S. His 63rd birthday was this past October 25th.

Sammy Hagar can; David Lee Roth can't. Which hurts since I am more a fan of the Roth-era than Van Hagar.

Robert Smith’s voice (The Cure) is still intact.

Roger Daltrey for his age can still sing pretty darn good.

Elton John on the other hand, his voice is shut.

Axl Rose is another one that is pretty rough to listen nowadays.

Oh, that's too bad about Elton John.
Axl Rose sounds like Minnie Mouse.
Bruce Springsteen and Jon Bonjovi can't hit the high notes on some of their songs,
"Born in the USA" and "Livin on a Prayer" respectively but otherwise overall, they both still sound good.
High notes aren't everything...

Daryl Hall - still smooth like buttah - great in concert

Michael Macdonald - ditto

Boz Scaggs - unbelievably good

Donald Fagan - forget it

Ian Anderson - nope. The man still tours like a maniac though. (And I still love him.)

Another vote for Darl Hall - still sounds really good.

Stevie Nicks - Nope, sticks to about 3 chords, very monotone, doesn't even try to hit the higher notes in her own songs anymore. Not fair to go out on tour and have people pay for that.

Brian Johnson of AC/DC - unbelievable delivery at 74. So inspiring.

Mick Jaggar - got to give him credit, not bad at pushing 80, and works really hard for it.

Paul Rogers (Bad Company)- another one that works very hard to still deliver - and does.

Dennis DeYoung of Styx fame- sounds really good

Ann Wilson- Best female rock voice ever, still wonderful

And the saddest one of all - Steve Perry. One of the greatest voices in music history, but now reduced to weakly warbling through poorly written songs. Should start producing instead. He gave it all when he had it - and we that were there, will never forget it.

Oh, that's too bad. Is that why he's no longer with the band? What happened?!
But, I'm glad for Daryl Hall. He makes it so effortless that you forget what a good and powerful singer he is until you see a contestant on one of the voice shows try to do a cover of his song. That's when you realize his songs are not easy to sing. At all.

I wonder what causes some to lose their voice barring the use of drugs or a medical condition (Linda Rondstadt). Is it DNA?

George Strait, currently doing a concert series in Vegas, seems to have improved.

Madonna, might have slipped a little but, the Queen of Pop still sounds better than all of today's artists, including Adele and Gaga.

Bono U2, still has it.

James Hetfield Metallica sings better with age.
