GuidingLight 3 Posted May 17, 2006 I keep forgetting girls. I'm not the most popular poster, but some of you may remember me pimping Eisley. So votes go out to Sherri and Staci Dupree. If you like angelic voices... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blitzen 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Dear God...Ella Fitzgerald folks. Nobody else is close. I saw her in concert when she was supposedly well past her prime and she was still amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manifest Destiny 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Amy Lee from Evanescence.. Man..you people.. Evanescence is terrible, but Amy Lee does have the sexiest voice that I can remeber hearing. Second on that list, for me, is Martina Topley Bird. She sang on most of Tricky's albums. Julee Cruise, a jazz singer, also has a pretty haunting vioce. Any Twin Peaks fans should know who she is. Tom Araya is a nice mention, too. The way he hits those highs on "The Antichrist" are sweet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FranksTanks 0 Posted May 17, 2006 It used to be Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star), Alicia Keys, Tori Amos and Sarah McLachan..I cant stop listening to Sia these days. Seriously, listen to her voice....Going to see Over the Rhine (w/Hem) tonight as well...good stuff Please add yours...tia Sia is very good. I think she's the chick from Zero 7. Her vocals sucked me right into that group a long time ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spider fantasy 0 Posted May 17, 2006 As far as voices go, I'm mesmerized by Lisa Gerrard's voice. She does a lot of soundtracks like Gladiator. I can't understand a dam word she's saying, but it's very haunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FranksTanks 0 Posted May 17, 2006 I thought she did a lot of stuff with Massive Attack. I'm not sure if she did anything with Massive Attack, but she definitly worked with Zero 7. I'll never get tired of the song Waiting Line. Gotta love Wikipedia! wikipedia Sia Kate Isobelle Furler (pronounced ['siə]) (born December 18, 1975 in Adelaide, Australia) is a contemporary female pop singer, noted for her work with Zero 7 and her two major-label solo albums. Looks like Tracey Thorn from Everything But the Girl worked with Massive Attack. And the more I look, tons of others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TD Ryan2 314 Posted May 17, 2006 I friggin LOVE the gladiator soundtrack, checking her our right now.....Paikea lengend...good stuff... If you like the Gladiator soundtrack, be sure to check out the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack. And, to stay on topic here, the last song on that LofM soundtrack (I will find you - Clannad) is pretty haunting. I believe that Enya's roots are with Clannad, maybe family members or her sister (or something). Amazon linky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

remote controller 133 Posted May 17, 2006 An ecclectic collection for sure. All but 1 are solid. We'll let the voters decide which! It'll be Hall. He is, in my estimation, one of the greatest vocalist's, AND, song writers ever. ........and underrated because of the 80's hype. I have music from him that spans 1972 through 2005.

jackie sherrill 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Amy Lee and Allison Krause came immediately to mind, and a lot more really good ones have been mentioned. One lady that hasn't been mentioned is Martina McBride. I know she's technically "Country", but she can flat out sing anything. And she's extremely hot in a cute, milf, kind of way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastorOfMuppets 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Yes, indeed ... Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star. Hearing her emote through "Look On Down From The Bridge" is religion. No more captivating voice than that ... "Halal", "Take Everything", "Fade Into You" ... it's criminal to not list her whole catalog, but ... if you haven't heard any of the above, I suggest you give a listen to them as a "primer". Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays is dazzling as well. Her interpretation of "Wild Horses" is astonishing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
