Singers that give you goosebumps

[Lush]

Which singers make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck? And which song do you think demonstrates their WONDERFUL VOICE best?

My awards go to..

Karen Carpenter for "Superstar"
Sonique for "It Feels So Good"
Scott Walker for "Jackie"
Morten Harket for "Hunting High and Low"
Tom Jones for "You Can Leave Your Hat On"
Mahalia Jackson for "Jerusalem"

 

[Icy Gull]

Scott Walker has one of the best voices I have ever heard, shame he appeared to disappear into an opium den (allegedly) and pretty well stopped recording.

Thom Yorke - Radiohead

Awesome voice.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

You Have Your Own Special Way - Genesis ( Steve Hackett's version on Genesis Revisited, sung by Paul Carrack)

If you leave me now - Chicago

After the Goldrush - Neil Young

 

[Meade's Ball]

The Hives.



*thump*


Seriously though, Thom Yorke has haunted me for many a year. Although i suppose he is more fallen angel than cherub-on-high now.

 

[On the Left Wing]

Steve Harley - A Friend for Life and The Last Time I Saw You
Bob Dylan - pretty well all of Blood on the Tracks and It's Not Dark Yet
Michelle Shocked - Still Born
Mary Chapin Carpenter - This Shirt
Laura Nyro - When I Die

Elvis gives me goosebumps followed by vomiting headache and the shits, Cliff Richards also has this effect on me.

 

[Hungry Joe.]

Grant Lee Buffalo - Rock Of Ages

I think Dan Harding looks a bit like Thom Yorke but is harder in the tackle (allegedly).

"IT'S ALL GOOD STUFF DEAR"

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run (the bit after the breakdown "1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive...")

I would add The River to that as well - espesh the live version on the live triple album

 

[Icy Gull]

Eagles - Desperado
Dylan - Like a rolling stone
Stones - Angie
Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven (but those are sad goosebumps )

 

[bhaexpress]

Little Feat (who I hear you ask) - Long Distance Love
Nickleback - Someday
Incubus - Wish you were here
Fountains of Wayne - Stacey's Mom
The Darkness (why not ?) Love is only a feeling

 

[Safeway]

Michael Bolton - 'How am I supposed to live without you?'

 

[Marc]

I would add The River to that as well - espesh the live version on the live triple album

Highly agree with The Boss fans on here, The River on that live 3 CD's is amazing. Also the start of Cover Me but the song that makes my hairs stick up is always...again off that 3 live CD...My Hometown

 

[Faldo]

I think Alison Goldfrapp (of Goldfrapp) is a pant wettingly good singer!

Also, one of the guys in Gomez is/was a cracking singer - kind've husky shouting type.... excellent voice!

Whatever happened to Gomez - In Our Gun is a couple of years old now...

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Delirium ft Sarah McClachlan - Silence.
Taja Sevelle - Love is contagious
George Michael & Elton John - Don't let the sun go down on me (Live)

 

[On the Left Wing]

Eagles - Desperado
Dylan - Like a rolling stone
Stones - Angie
Eric Clapton - Tears in Heaven (but those are sad goosebumps )

Have about 200 recordings of Like a Rolling Stone on various concert albums ..... there is one version from Dan Haag in 1989 where his singing of it is awesome
But the best ever version was in 1980 (or 81?) at the Fox Warfield and Mike Bloomfield joins him on stage with Al Kooper (they both played onthe original) it is breathtaking ....Bloomfield died a month or two later!

The version by Articulo 31 on the soundtrack of Masked and Anonymous is pretty interesting too, as is My Back Pages in japanese by the Magokoro Brothers
