[Music] Your favourite singer.

[boik]

If i had to chose just one then it would have the be Mark Kozelek. That voice with those lyrics- just spine tingling. He really is a grumpy so and so live though.

 

[Weststander]

I adore the vocals of:

John Lennon (1960’s before he lost some range)
Enya
Maire Brennan (of Chicane and other projects)
Karen Carpenter
Ramin Karimloo (opera trained singer, famous for Phantom of the Opera performances)
Veronica Bennett (Ronnie of The Ronettes)
Diana Ross (60’s & 70’s work)
Agnetha Faltskog

 

[The Large One]

In appreciating there's a difference between people whose voices I like rather than the songs they're singing, I'd end up with two different lists. So I am going for the people with the best voice...

Male: Levi Stubbs, Terry Reid, Marvin Gaye

Female: Karen Carpenter, Dusty Springfield, Judy Collins

 

[Two Professors]

Chris Hughton-some fabulous singing,Pascal in particular.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Otis Redding.

Aretha Franklin.

Millie Jackson.

I can't believe any of them haven't been mentioned yet. I don't know what the world's coming to.

 

[DFL JCL]

male - Eddie Vedder or Greg Porter
female - Jewel on foolish games or Aretha on Angel.

 

[LlcoolJ]

Some good shouts on female singers. Love Paloma Faith, Natalie Merchant, Whitney could sing a bit too. [MENTION=5200]Buzzer[/MENTION] 's tip of Frazey Ford is up there now as well. That bird from London Grammar....

Think Stevie Nicks wins it for me though. They're all clearly BLASTED in this but **** me, what a voice and what a performance.....

Jimmy Driftwood, he was a teacher and wrote songs to teach his students about American history, such a wonderful rural voice from the Ozark mountains in Arkansas.

I could listen to his voice all day long, my retirement dream is to be sat in a rocking chair with a nice whisky, and my hound laid on the veranda of my wooden cabin staring out across the Arizona desert listening to Jimmy...
