"Robert Plant was a significant influence on Pat Monahan, who admired him so much that he switched to the 'Robert Plant role' to attract girls. Monahan recalls re-recording Led Zeppelin II for charity with the band's blessing."
"Nina Simone's rendition of 'Ne Me Quitte Pas' left a profound impact on Monahan while he was working as a house painter in San Francisco, making him unable to work for 15 minutes due to the magic of her voice."
"Ella Fitzgerald was a major influence on Monahan, who grew up listening to her music through his father. He expresses deep admiration for her ability to sing Johnny Mercer songs better than anyone else."
"Monahan considers J. Cole his favorite contemporary vocalist, praising him for being smart, funny, interesting, and clever, indicating a strong appreciation for J. Cole's artistry."
Pat Monahan, the lead vocalist of Train, celebrates 25 years of the album 'Drops of Jupiter' with a tour starting July 8th. He shares his five favorite vocalists, which include rock legend Robert Plant, jazz icons Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald, and contemporary rapper J. Cole. Monahan reflects on how these artists influenced him, particularly noting his admiration for Plant and the impact of Simone's music during his time as a house painter. The tour will feature support from Barenaked Ladies and Matt Nathanson.
