    Thought I'd throw a few more into the mix - my favourite singers are those with unique voices and not necessarily technically great singers - people like

    - Bob Dylan - listen to Blind Willie McTell on the Bootleg Series vol 1-3 if you think he can't sing

    - Neil Young - amazing feeling in his vocals - check Stringman from the Unplugged album

    - James Taylor - his phrasing is unique, and along with his band, it's as much about what's left out as what's put in - like on this one Enough to be on your way

    - Suzanne Vega - really evocative voice full of longing and loss, like on Harbor Song

    And a million more, like Joni Mitchell, Eddie Vedder, Neil Finn, Bjork, Paul Simon, Lou Reed, Thom Yorke, Crosby Stills & Nash, Nick Drake, Elliott Smith, Beth Orton, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Nicks etc. etc.
