In this realm a few of the current Diva's are incredibly strong vocalist. Pink, Jessie J and the new little disney slutbitch Ariana Grande. I like their voices alot but cringe at most of the pop song choices they make. As a vocalist Katy Perry is fairly pedestrian by comparison, but her songs are way better in the genre.

[toase]

I loooove Cleo Laine:



Ian Curtis
Chet Baker
Whitney Houston
Jeff Buckley
Rodrigo Amarante
Lauryn Hill
Elis Regina
Gal Costa
Karin Bergquist
Brandon Flowers
Ben Harper
Amy Winehouse
Tracy Chapman

Ok, enough...

Anthony Green is the most impressive singer I've ever seen live

it doesnt hurt that he is a beautiful man and is stroking a cat here

[Mals Marola]

Damon Albarn
Mike Patton
Kate Bush
RICHARD ASHCROFT
Thom Yorke
Billy Corgan
Brian Molko

obv that last one's gonna "draw leers" but i don't know, something about that unrelenting sneer is gratifying to me in the way that i guess someone like lou reed and bob dylan can also be

so you know, hooray for those

bless these boys & girls

[vixnix]

Brian Molko has a nostalgic appeal for me

And Curtis Mayfield yeah far out. Love that guy.

[Mals Marola]

if i was goin for nostalgic appeal i'd probably be throwin out the singers from blink 182

and i 'onno whitney houston

whitney houston's fuckin awesome though

When you like everything you don't really like anything

[The exploding boy]

I would agree to a certain extent, like i'm suspicious of people whose tastes are extremely wide encompassing when it comes to well..i was gonna say music but i almost wanna say art in general cause i feel at some point like...do you even have a personality? who are you? On the other hand one has to remain open-minded. try things and not have preconceived notions. But more importantly, like what you like cause you like it, not because you think you should. Or shouldn't. like someone was saying in another thread (mooney i think) about the concept of guilty pleasures, i hate that too, i used to have them until i started thinking, fuck it, i like this because i think it's good and i don't need to feel any sort of shame about it. i don't need anyone's approval,.

Frank Black
Peter Murphy


Steven Malkmus. Man, I really do like his voice, and I don't even know why.



And yes maybe it's obvious, but I do like Billy's voice, but to a point. There is some of his stuff I can't stomach. But I appreciate his uniqueness. His voice is just crazy, it's changed so much and it never sticks to one style.

[noyen]

pretty much who everyone mentioned. tons ive forgotten. marvin gaye. orbison. sharon van etten.

debbie gibson had a good voice too. tiffany and her, i think were talented. asshole from def leppard, i always liked his voice. jarvis cocker another. but scott walker wins. throw albarn down a flight of stairs. cornell in his day. mercury was amazeballs but i am not fond of jagger so much. but i havent really gotten into the stones.
