    I might as well change the thread title since everyone has listed more than one singer :).
    I posted my favourite singers here:

    If I had to pick some vocalists whose style I admire, top of the list would be Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory, Jon Howard of Threat Signal and Anders Fríden of In Flames for men and Amy Lee of Evanescence and Tarja Turunen (formerly of Nightwish) for women.

    Honourable mentions too for Annie Lennox and Kyoko Baertsoen of Lunascape.

    John Grant. His song Outer Space is one of my favourite of all time. Bleedin' rapid.

    He has one of the smoothest and sweetest voices i've ever heard. His lyrics are genius.

    There's a live version of the Queen of Denmark from the Stoneroom sessions where his voice peaks and its one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard. Brings an old tear to the eye.

    I've seen him three times this year, once with a backing band and twice with just himself and a pianist. You couldnt meet a more humble man. He's an absolute 100% gent and a soft endearing soul.

    Here's a few that stand out to me:
    - Suzanne Vega
    - Peter Gabriel
    - Kate Bush
    - Jon Anderson
    - Nanci Griffith
    - Bono (when he takes risks e.g. Achtung Baby / Zooropa)
    - the girls from ABBA when they were on form (e.g. Super Trouper, One Of Us)

    I can't stand any of these current singers who use histrionics to mask the fact that they can't hold a note. Don't get me started on AutoTune™. :mad:

    Death has this much to be said for it:
    You don’t have to get out of bed for it.
    Wherever you happen to be
    They bring it to you—free.

    THEN: Roy Orbison, Elvis Costello, Billy Joel, Karen Carpenter, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon


    NOW: Beyonce, John Mayer, Justin Nozuka, Bon Iver, Pink (surprisingly good live)

    No one will be more delighted than me when the X-Factor or The Voice discovers a "new" Roy Orbison. (Not holding my breath!).

    And check out Elvis Costello with Burt Bacharach - "This House is Empty Now".
