Ooh, ooh, and Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries.
David Bowie
John Legend
Usher
Al Green
MarkSandman. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, listening to that man sing is the audio equivalent of having Brad Pitt lick the inside of your thigh. Voof.
Gabriella Cilmi is smoking hot to both hear and see in this video, but the rest of her stuff doesn’t measure up, to my mind. I’m hoping this is her real voice and the overproduced, generic girl-pop is what she does because the label says so.
Bette Midler, back in the day.
I was going to say precisely this song.
Also, her “The Man With the Child In His Eyes”- my first sight of her was on Saturday Night Live in the 1970s slinking in a gold lame’ bodystocking. Yummmmm!
I’m glad to see Iona is still around!
Oh, yeah. Man, that lady had the best voice ever.
Rachel Sweet
The studio version of “Tonight Ricky” still goes directly to my brain stem…
Maynard James Keenan
Josh Homme
I don’t find either attractive, play the videos and meh. But just the music and voices? Oh my, the tinglies! (especially Maynard)
and sometimes Dave Matthews - I don’t understand that one, but there it is.
Ann and Debbie Wilson, of “Heart”. Lookin’ at ‘em or listenin’ to 'em. Rowr.
This list needs more Norah Jones. No worries, I’ll add some. norah jones - Google Search
Also - I know it’s not actually her singing, but Jennifer Connelly’s turn as a torch singer in Dark City is remarkably hot. The woman smolders like hell. jennifer connelly dark city song - Google Search
There really isn’t anything sexier than a woman who can sing jazz.
Nancy…
Really? I guess that’s good for me, then.. one less person I’d have to push out of the way!
Of course, I’m not even sure what she looks like now or how old she is, but I loved her voice.
bleating goat? That’s harsh!
In no particular order…
Gavin Rossdale (Bush)
Colin Meloy (Decemberists) (Counterintuitive I know, he’s kind of nasal but I think it’s his imagery as much as the voice itself.)
Poe
Stephin Merritt (aka The Magnetic Fields)
Emiliana Torrini
Beth Gibbons (Portishead)
Daniel Agust

Well there’s me in the way too.
All my faves already mentioned
Stevie Nicks
Cerys Matthews
Roisin Murphy
Kate Bush, in Big Sky mode rather than the breathy stuff.
First mention for Kate ‘n’ Cindy of the B52s, at least on the early albums.
Really. How is it that I scroll to post #50 before her name gets mentioned?
I’d like to add another mention of David Bowie and Mark Sandman.
Also Annie Lennox.
But this list cannot be complete without some Marc Bolan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igOQclFxHAc
It can’t just be me, right?
Some more (perhaps rather embarassing?)
This song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg-Wm25T6Qs My reaction is wrong for so many reasons: It’s from a kid’s movie, it’s in praise of pollution, it’s in a kids movie and makes me think of murderous transvestites and that’s part of the appeal…
Terrence Zdunich: Yay for cult musicals! Just listen for when he says “below” at around 1:26.
Oh, and Kevin Conroy’s animated Batman also has a very nice singing voice-- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoRundeX6O0
Okay. Now I’m done proving I’m weird.
Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde.
Whoever the German chick in Nena is that sang 99 Luftbaloons.
:smack:
