[CrowCaw]

I'd go with Mark Lanegan, Loreena McKennitt, Vincent Cavanaugh, Howlin' Wolf, and Big Mama Thornton

Loreena, yes! And Anathema, sigh.

 

[CrowCaw]

I have a long (singing) list, but here are a few faves: Neil Young, Tom Waits, Trent Reznor, Maynard James Keenan, Tori Amos, Ann Wilson, Layne Staley, Jerry Cantrell, Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith, Steven Wilson, Emily Haines, Chan Marshall, Eddie Vedder, Mikael Akerfeldt, Chris Cornell, Rob Wynia, Tim Bowness, Mark Lanegan.

Elliott Smith AND Steven Wilson? Along with many others - wow. Your taste is awesome!

 

[Digger]

There are SO many great voices past and present but these three just popped into my head:

Etta James
Nat King Cole
Beverly Sills

Totally random I know, but that's pretty much how my mind works.

Lol, I have to thank many a music friend for turning me on to a lot of music I might have missed out on otherwise. I don't know what I would do without music. I don't even like to think about it.

my faves are some of the off-beat ones as well, like the much aforementioned Neal Young,
plus Stevie Nicks, Macy Gray, Lily Allen, Kate Bush, Kate Miller-Heidke, Anya Marina & Sia to name a few.
the kings of harmonizing...The Beach Boys.
the king of the spoken word...Alan Rickman.

And I know hes not a singer but Alan Rickman. Yup.

His voice makes me weak at the knees.
