If you're talking about amazing + unique voices, - Michael Jackson.

Somebody mentioned Ella Fitzgerald...she's got a wonderful voice too. *swoon*

And IMO, Alicia Keys' singing ain't that great...but she's a great songwriter.

 

[Lorie]

The singer for Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies. Tops.

yeah spike does have a pretty cool voice. He doesn't sing for his band Swingin' utters, he only plays bass.

stevie wonder and ella fitzgerald. they do amazing things with their voices..
louis armstrong has a really deep rough bear like voice..its awesome
otis redding and ray charles have great soul voices
these people are awesome, especially otis and ray and ella because their music is their voice..if that makes sense? like they dont need an abundance of instruments and its not computerised or anything

oOo michael jackson! he has the most awesomest and unique voice ever.... *droOl*

Audioslave.

Mahuligan, nice avatar! lol
With his "Hee hees!" and "Aow"s and "Shamone"s, Michael Jackson definitely also has a unique style that he can call his own.

I watched Sister Act 2 and I love the scene where Lauren sings in the church "His Eye Is On The Sparrow". Wow

Jeff Buckley

THANK you! i was scrolling through the thread, jaw on the table, thinking WHY HAS NOBODY SAID JEFF YET?

i also rate his dad...deeper and somehow sadder.

john mayer in no way compares, but i like the way his voice sounds like he's whispering in your ear.
bono - instantly recognisable, and he puts his entire body and soul behind every note he sings, you can hear it.
ben harper, for pure emotion.
ben gibbard (death cab/postal service) sounds like his voice has been dipped in honey. so sweet.
me'shell ngeodecello - dusky soul.
conor oberst - again, the emotion kills me every time.
robert smith (the cure) - so distinctive.
morrissey (the smiths) - ditto.
joss stone - does NOT sound seventeen.
nathan gaunt - a WA rock singer, who sounds like jeff with more gritty blues.
sam cooke - so underrated.
paul simon. sad, sad, sad.
nina simone, dinah washington, ella fitzgerald, billie holiday - all in a class of their own.
joni mitchell - in her recent stuff you can hear every cigarette she's smoked, she's really amazing.
and hello...
FRANK SINATRA!!! the original and best.

and yes, christina aguilera has an amazing set of chords. pity she's wasted in filth-pop territory.

dont forget neil finn- i thought u were a crowded house fan?

 

[welshi]

oooh very true. "the finger of blame has turned upon itself"....gives me shivers. although it's as much his talent for amazing harmonies as his gorgeous voice...

 

[melimoo]

Jeff Buckley

I second the call for Jeff Buckley. Beautiful choir boy voice.

I definitely third that!!! beautiful voice, great falsetto too and transition to and from falsetto..mmmm. makes me melt

 

[wanton-wonton]

ppffttt... soundgarden > audioslave x 50000

I'm not denying that, just saying how the guy's in a different band now, that's all.

 

[wanton-wonton]

this great fantastic undiscovered tallent, Stef, esp. when she sings 'I Am the Pirate King'

"Talent" is spelt with one "l" not two.
