I would be interested in claiming Ian Gillan, since it's under Steve name, and Roger Taylor, which is under Ringo whose threads are up for adoption, if they're available

[Platypus]

is there anything about the current Ian Gillan thread that you feel isn't up to par?

[innuendo]

I think that two albums are actually missing?
If I remember they're last Purple's albums

[Platypus]

The last two albums have been notewatched by Henny Macc and added to the thread.

I'm not neccecerily against someone fixing up the Ian Gillan thread a bit, there are a few songs missing here and there and the formatting is a bit wack. There's also the endless pit of live performances. But I'd advise against doing a full remake. Ian Gillan stops being fun to notewatch after Born Alive, the remaining 15 albums are a bit of a slog (sans Toolbox and maybe The Battle Rages On...). If you really wanna do it, however, then go right ahead

Claiming Baby Huey since I can't find anything of him on here.

Yeah I definitely don't think that thread should be remade entirely, nor should any preexisting thread already researched to that level of detail. If you wanted to double-check the research, I'd say the best approach would be to just go through his discography and tweak anything that appears to be wrong or missing in the thread, but definitely not start it all over from scratch. Anything of that sort would just be a waste of time and effort at this point.

However, I will agree that if there's one thing that that thread could benefit from additional research for, it's probably live material - seeing how Deep Purple literally have dozens of live albums that I'm pretty sure haven't been checked yet, and Gillan was very much someone prone to throwing in additional screams during live performances of songs back in his prime. So if anyone has the patience to sit through all those live albums and check them for missing notes, that might be one thing could potentially warrant re-ownership of the thread.

Yo.

I'd like to claim the following.

Michael Bøgballe (Ex-Mnemic, Ex-SmaXone, Ex-Scamp, Oktan)
Guillaume Bideau (Ex-Scarve, Mnemic, One Way Mirror)

Both of these artists have notable ranges that are worth looking into. Not sure if it's my place to ask for help, or anything.
Both vocalists are baritones with incredible upper ranges and interesting voices, and I know their discographies inside and out.

(Edit: Michael Bøgballe is now in progress.)

[Brenda]

I'd like to claim/reclaim my only TRP3 thread which was Elis Regina, I still have the doc so it should be just a matter of fixing the formatting.

[Smitty.]

Lemme claim John bush and John West and unclaim busta rhymes lol

[Deleted]

Just so I don't have to keep going back and editing my posts, here's a complete spreadsheet of all of my claims, which will be updated whenever I add more:

[Rodney Blazershorts]

That's a pretty neat idea. You still need to let us know when you change a claim though, nobody's going to follow it for you.

[innuendo]

I would like to claim Ralf Scheepers if nobody done it yet

[Henny Macc]

I haven't claimed him yet, but I might be interested in collaborating on that. I did a fair bit of research for him several years back, so I'd be willing to contribute that to the cause.

[innuendo]

Every collaboration would be well accepted!

[Deleted]

I'm adding Louis Armstrong to my list of claims.

Edit: Not sure of Braden is still keeping his claim or not, so I'm going to hold off on notewatching Armstrong until I can figure that out.

[kaji]

Isn't Louis claimed already?

[Brenda]

Hope it's okay to make a lengthier post like this, I have two years of unorganized claims and unfinished research.

Claimed singers I've already finished researching: Elis Regina and Sibylle Baier, already posted and soon to be sent for review.

Singers who I'm currently researching and would like to formally claim: Mai Yamane, Yurie Kokubu and Cássia Eller. I already notewatched 4 albums from Mai and "Steps" from Yurie Kokubu.

Singers who I'll be researching in the near future and would like to formally claim: Junko Ohashi, Minako Yoshida, Takako Mamiya and Vashti Bunyan. Gatr has claimed Junko, but upon conversation with him, he said it was cool for me to take over.

Singers who I plan on researching in a more distant future and would be open to collabs: Meiko Nakahara, Yoshiko Sai and Miki Matsubara.

Singers who, due to very extensive discography, I would be very interested in doing as collabs: Faye Wong (20 studio albums, 5 live albums, etc.), Hako Yamasaki (around 20 studio albums as well), and Akina Nakamori (25 studio albums, 11 cover albums,2 live albums, and 5 EPs)

Singers who I researched on TRP3 days and am giving the research up for adoption or collabs: Astrud Gilberto (debut album done), Left at London (natpuff), Richard Harris (2 albums done IIRC), France Gall (2 albums done), Phranc (posted my research on the threadless singers thread), Helen Shapiro (a good chunk of material done), Fyfe Dangerfield (2 EPs and an album done), and Judie Tzuke (2 albums done, I still would like to revisit her if no-one picks an interest).

That's it, I have docs on all of these singers that I researched, so if anyone would like to use my research as a base or something, just hit me up and I'll send it to you. There are other singers that I started notewatching but I did so little that it wouldn't be of any help to whoever would like to do them, those include: Suzy Solidor, Janis Ian and Rita Lee.

Yeah. I saw it immediately after I made the post.

[Deleted]

I'd like to add Andy Gibb to my list of claims.

[paralipan]

I'd like to claim Liviu Teodorescu.

[Geege]

I’d like to claim Billy Preston.

[Deleted]

Also, I’d like to claim Lil Pump and 6ix9ine. They are on the very small list of rappers I can actually tolerate listening to, so I’d like to make threads for them.

[paralipan]

I'd like to claim Smiley.
I"ll post others under a spoiler here, unless there's a flood of claims in the days to come, so it won't seem like spam.

[Deleted]

I'd like to claim Gloria Estefan.

Edit: I’d also like to claim Vaughn Monroe.

edit: I’d also like to claim Richard Cheese.

[Deleted]

Hi, guys! I’ll be taking a break from the forum for the foreseeable future. I just don’t have the time, energy, and motivation to notewatch anymore, and I also just have a lot of stuff going on that would make it very difficult to devote much of my time to this. I don’t know when I’ll be back, or if I ever will be, but for now, I’d like to address the issue of my long list of claims.

I have some partially completed research for Randy Newman and Colin Vearncombe, and I’ll be giving both of those claims to Geege. I’m also giving him my more urgent claims, namely Gloria Estefan, Richard Cheese, and Andy Gibb. Geege is also adopting Harry Nilsson, and will be publishing his new version of the thread soon.

I also want kaji to make the thread for Frank Sinatra Jr. He’ll do it much better than I would, and I’ve lost the motivation to continue notewatching him.

I have no interest in anything else, so it’s all up for grabs. If I had a claim you want, and it wasn’t already listed above, take it. Chances are, you’ll do a better job than I will.

Anyways, that’s all I have to say. Thanks, and have a nice day! :)
