[kj] Top Singers

[Alexandra Tolksdorf]

I find it difficult to say whether I love or hate Diamanda Galas' voice, but I tend more towards love.
 
My top voices are
 
Andrea Bocelli (if classical is allowed)
Rozz Williams from Christian Death
Douglas from Death In June
Morrissey 
Glennypoo Danzig 
Brendan from Dead Can Dance
Otis Redding

Good call with Depeche Mode!

I was surprised however to not see even ONE mention of Diamanda Galas as loved or hated.

Some of my favorite singers would be:

David Gahan of Depeche Mode (Never get tired of him)
 
Paul Stanley of Kiss (He's an amazing singer.Even if Kiss did go and turn into a money hungry shit factory....or maybe always were.This guy is a great Rock singer.Songs like "Rock Bottom,Is That You?,Comin' Home,and Makin Love" prove it.)
 
Dwight Yoakam (This guy is brilliant.Listen to songs like "Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room (She Wore Red Dresses)" or "Population Me" or "Blame The Vain" or his cover of Johnny Cash's "Understand Your Man or "Dreams Of Clay." This is the only guy making  Real country music nowadays.Everybody else sucks and they know it.)
Robert Plant (Could never leave him off.)

Rob Halford from Judas Priest (He really is a great singer.Especially on the earlier Priest stuff.I think he's at his best though when he's just delivering it plain and simple and worrying less about hitting a couple of those higher notes.)

Forgive me if I've overlooked it, but has no one mentioned Liz Fraser of the Cocteau Twins yet?


Sublime vocalist, to my ears.

Nah, if you rub your finger around his belly like a wine glass it would make that same vibrating tone.. 

 

 

Btw, 2 more singers i can never get enough of...

 

Dusty Springfield - among the top singers (play "The Look Of Love" and see if you don't get laid because of that

                            saxophone solo towards the end)

Strawberry Switchblade - prolly my guiltiest pleasure ever. I keep some of their live/John Peel Sessions in the car

                                     on sem-permanent rotation - along with the Head Shop Girls (aka Pet Shop Boys).

[looking at the current state of things..]

 

'Save me...

  save me from Tomorrow..

    I don't want to sail in this Ship Of Fools...'
