Seeing Bob Dylan Billie Holiday and Morrissey mentioned, I may as well throw in an honorary mention to Stevland Morris

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Morrissey ? Ok, The Smiths were great but Morrissey sings as though he has a daffodil up his arse.

He doesn't sing, it's more of an off key yodel.

 

[Biscuit]

Male: Elvis Presley
Female:Aretha Franklin

 

[Steveapps71]

Male: Right said Fred (both band members equal best)
Female: Sinitta (so macho era) xx

 

[Durlston]

Mike Skinner of The Streets.

I can relate to his lyrics. All the good things and shit things that happen in life. Blinded By The Lights sums it all up for me when he's so high on ecstasy, his girlfriend cheats on him and then he gets beaten up at the end all in one night.

Leona Lewis is very underrated. Beautiful voice.

Mike Skinner of The Streets.

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Male:





Female: tough choice between Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone. However, I'm going to chuck in this lady from my adopted homeland. Onitsuka Chihiro. A great voice that conveys all the subtleties of the emotion of the song. Plus she's shit hot and slightly mental.

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

Ian Gillan
Adele
James Taylor
Otis Redding
Gil Scott-Heron
Chris Cornell

Far too many that I think are great.
