You aren't a true Catheite until you have started at least one wildly controversial thread!

How in the hell did Janis Joplin beat out Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston for that matter? Serioulsy?

Easy...she can do amazing things with her voice that those two can't and nearly 40 years later her music is still playing.

I just have one question......who in the world is Bjork? lol No clue!

Gayle

She used to sing lead for a band called the Sugar Cubes about a million years ago, and has since gone on to a prolific solo career (and maybe a little off the deep end in terms of dubious fashion choices). If you ever come across an album where she sings standards in (I believe) her native Icelandic language - get it. She is an amazing vocalist - but admittedly, an acquired taste.
So - did Joe Strummer make the list? That man had stones. What an expressive voice - a real revolutionary.

Indeedy! I was devastated when he passed away.

So was I. He really made a difference in the way I looked at the world. A selfless and truly inspired individual. I even had the pleasure of briefly meeting him once. If you haven't seen it already - there is a great documentary out about him - The Future is Unwritten.
