Kirsty MacColl is my fave. She had an honest voice.

Plenty I’d potentially choose have already been mentioned. I’ll give a shout out to Amy Winehouse for her song delivery as well as the voice. Good songwriter too, which not too many female vocalists are.

Kim Wilde, or Toyah.
























Nah, Stevie Nicks for ‘popular’ music, just so versatile.

I am a little surprised nobody has mentioned Dolores O'Riordan...

So I shall remedy that - another to add to the gone too soon list...!

No need for a poll. Watched something on BBC2 tonight which reminded me of:

The pure and crystal clear voice of the late, great Karen Carpenter.

She had a lovely voice. I loved Sandy Denny's voice.

According to a lot of people she's a bit of a slapper. Rarely thinks of her husband during sex.

This is a bit off-piste for the music crowd on this board,... but Lady Ga Ga.... gasp!!!

I never realised how powerful her voice was until I heard this track some years back.... live acoustic version of Joanne.

It’s a very subjective thing and favourites can change depending on who I’m listening to at any one time and/or who has an album out etc. At the moment I’d say Julia Holter.
