Have to say I prefer his sister,Martha.Musically speaking that is-can't say I fancy either of them....in fact I'm struggling to think of any musicians I actually fancy...jeez I'm getting old.

The biggest problem I have with Rufus is the way he seems to slur everything he sings-great musician,great songs,but I just want to yell "Enunciate boy!" and rap his knuckles with a ruler. Theres no hope for me now is there?I might just as well book my place in the retirement home...where did I put that zimmer frame??

Glad I'm not the only one who found that irritating. He can enunciate; maybe he thinks it's cute or stylish or summat. Lazy, nasal drawling from someone who sets such store by opera and its singers. Well, I've pretty much gotten past it & forgiven him, but once in awhile I'd like to pop him in the head still. Wink

Martha I find very hard to listen to so I don't. It's her voice. Not her fault and no doubt she's quite talented, but the sound of her voice gets on my nerves, sorry to say.

Thats what I love about music-its so hard to explain to someone why you don't like a certain artist-or why you do.Sometimes someone will say "if you like so and so listen to this" and I don't like it-and they can't understand why.!!
Been trying to get into Cosmic rough riders-just can't do it..no l dont know why I can't!
So I love Marthas voice but can't quite get into Rufus..haven't given up yet though...

I got into the Cosmics newest album because it reminded me of Justin's voice a little bit.

I know what you all mean about Rufus and his slurring and I think you do forget about it after a while.

His voice is so amazing that you can't help but forgive him for it. Grin

The first time I heard him sing live (was at the Barbican) he opened with a song in French called L'Absence (the one on the Fillmore DVD) and I had one of those jaw-dropping moments as his voice filled the Barbican. I just thought omigod how fantastic does he sound - I think that was the moment my obsession started!

Aw Cliffy, we got to find something to talk about, since the Del boys have abandoned the field.
