Mine's Shirley Manson from Garbage. She has a great voice, and she's pretty hot too.

Next after her is probably either Poe or Dolores Mary O'Riordan Burton, from Cranberries. She can belt 'em out for sure. I dunno if you've ever seen her when she had longer blonde hair, but she looked really good then.

Anyway, what about all of you guys/gals?

I don't listen to female vocalists at all. Actually, thats not true, but I listen to next to none.. I listen to maybe 5-6 songs sung by women. One is Nena's 99 Luftballons.

Thats all I can think of.

Sarah MacLachlan.

hey miNus I was thinking shirley manson too before I even opened the topic.

also dido, jewel, the girl that sings with travis meeks on days of the new 2, hmm who else

Posted by whiskey@throttle on Oct. 05 2001,07:26

Beth Gibbons. By far.
(the only singer to consistently give me chills)

Posted by askheaves on Oct. 05 2001,07:33

Oh oh!!! And Diana Krall!

Posted by cr0bar on Oct. 05 2001,07:48

Your mama. Her shrieks hit this note when I'm drilling her. . .sends chills down my spine.

Ha, seriously, Jewel can sing well even though I'm not a huge fan. My favorite female vocalist/songwriter has to be Kinnie Starr followed by Edie Brickell.

Hardly, since Jin isn't Irish in any way.

My favorite femme would have to be Gwen Stefani.

My favorite is Milla Jovovich. The Divine Comedy is one of my favorite CDs of all time. Another good singer is Tori Amos, and Dido's vocal style rulez.

Though I have to say, the vast majority of my music is male singers.

------------------
Old farts never die, they just get blown away.

Posted by incubus on Oct. 05 2001,21:50

Hmm:

Tori Amos - chillingly talented
Alanis Morrisette - mmm ...
Dido - fuck yeah
Kate bush - cos she's an elf
Ali Cherry - hehe, no you dont know who she is

Female voices are good. For example, random females in "N-Trance - Set you Free" and "Ian Van Dahl - Castles in the Sky" make life good.

Ok, now what about male vocalists?

And you can't say Trent Reznor. Get some originality!

I'd say Mark Chadwick from the Levellers. He rocks!

For male vocals, I'd have to say Aaron Lewis from Staind. He really does have a good voice.

Mark McGrath gets the award for closest borderline good-annoying voice.

Posted by Vigilante on Oct. 05 2001,22:11

Two more additions to the fems: Kylie Minogue, but only in the song 'Where the Wild Roses Grow' with Nick Cave. Also, the singer for K's Choice (dunno her name).

As for the lads:
James LaBrie (Dream Theater)
Bono (U2)
Martin Gore (Depeche Mode)
Dave Matthews
Billy Joel
Nick Cave

The most amazing male singer I've heard, though, is a fellow named Darik Velez. I saw him put on a few performances while visiting a friend at Williams College in MA (they were both students). Hope he makes it into the spotlight someday.

Agreed on Dave Matthews. I think 'Dreaming Tree' is one of my favorite songs of all time. Rob Zombie's little brother... Spydir, err... Spider (

I'm not going to go into a huge flame war about Irish origins but I should, so I will just say this the light skin of the Irish comes from two sources the Norse (Vikings) and invading Celts of pre-roman Europe (Celts were not the aboriginal people of Ireland) and the vast majority of the Irish do not look like Conan O’Brien. Most Irish have lighter skin normal tone for people of European descent and dark hair and blue eyes the normal Irish person does not have red hair. The aboriginal people of Ireland according to historical accounts were short stocky and had dark hair. Thank you

agreed, ic0n0. I am full blooded irish and I have dark hair and blue eyes.

However, all of this is a moot point since Shirley Manson is SCOTISH!!!

The girl who sang Somewhere Over the Rainbow (well) but not Judie Garland. If I could access my computer, I'd tell you her name, but I'm too lazy to look it up.

Dave Matthews owns.

Female singers: hm ... only on that comes to mind right now is Lara Fabian ... never heard of her then a guy friend let me borrow a CD of hers ... she's pretty amazing.

And there's that charlotte church chick ... pretty voice and all, but that coming from a 15 yr old is kinda scary ...

Posted by veilside on Oct. 12 2001,01:19

fave female singer would have to be esthero. 'breath from another' is an awesome cd.

Posted by Vigilante on Oct. 12 2001,11:24

The first end credits song from Final Fantasy is done by Lara Fabian. Pretty good.

Liney, I wouldn't. There's a reason I keep my singing from other people.
I'm in Vilseck. About an hour east of Nurnburg and about 2 hours north of Munchen depending on how fast you drive.

Speaking of falsettos, there's always Barry Gibb

What is so amusing about the culture? (I admit it has its fun aspects... but which culture doesn't?)

Btw, what are you doing in Germany? It feels pretty cool to know a detnetter is closer than 1000 km to here!

Liney- I'm just another american. I agree that the area is nice. The culture is amusing, though.

Whiskey- Check out Hated (a documentary on GG). I'll never get the images of him at different shows, being naked and attacking the audience. Hardcore "punks" scared of a man with a very small penis and nothing to lose. I have to repect the brutal honesty.

Posted by 1LT on Oct. 19 2001,08:30

Liney- It's another case of an arrogant American. Me.
I find it interesting to see their US obsession. In general, those that hate Americans do so for the wrong reasons and those who love us do so for the wrong reasons. (If you'd like my specific observations email me. I don't feel like being flamed for noticing cultural minutia.) I will state that the Germans I've met have been really nice. Including my landlady.

I know virtually nothing about my German ancestry NOTHING! I am not proud of that but my ancestors didn't keep a good record. The only German heritage that remains in me in my last name, Schultz, which is like the German smith in that there are so many people with the name. Now my mother’s maiden name is more unique Dannenfelser, can any one who speaks German please tell me what that means.
