    I never actually commented in this thread specifically about Glenn's voice. I guess it goes without saying that I absolutely love it. As a matter of fact, he is my very favorite male singer ever. I think the thing that impresses me the most about his voice is his versatility. He can sound as smooth as silk and as soft as velvet on one song, and then very rough and growly on another. I'll always remember once when I was playing the new Long Road Out of Eden for my aunt - she couldn't believe that the person singing in 'How Long' was the same person singing in 'What Do I Do With My Heart'.

    I have also commented about how ironic this is that the same Eagle who wanted the band to rock out so badly is the very one that ended up making an album of old classic ballads.

    Glenn did say on a fairly recent interview (within the last couple of years), possibly an After Hours interview, that he used to sing in the church choir, so maybe that is where he got his start.

    I love Glenn's voice too, so soft and smooth! Like buttah, that's perfect!

    I listen to the After Hours CD and I still can't believe that Glenn singing those songs, but he did sound great.

    I'm getting use to Glenn's voice, but his voice is soothing. I have to admit. I like when he sings the ballads. I love when he sings the uptempo songs, but those ballads makes me melt especially New Kid in Town. My favorite song that he sings.

    I would had loved to see little Glenn singing in his church choir. I wonder did he sing solos.

    I was just playing around on the computer and listened to the traditional NYD song of Dan Fogelberg's, Same Old Lang Syne, then moved on to Hard to Say and was reminded by the tingling sensation throughout that Glenn sings background vocals on this song. I'm not good about remembering all the songs he's ever appeared in, so when one catches me by surprise like this it tends to make my day! I was just listening and reading Facebook when his voice kicked in and I had to stop reading and just close my eyes and listen.

    I love that song too. Glenn sounds so awesome on it (and OBTW - Dan don't sound half bad either)!

    Oooooh, I need to listen to that again! I didn't know he was on it!

    And why haven't I put any Dan F on my ipod yet? This must be remedied asap!
