[lainiefig]

hard for me to pick a female since for some reason my collection is male-dominated and band-dominated, but I like Norah Jones and Sarah McLachlan

men: Johnny Cash or Sufjan Stevens at the moment

band: U2, King's X, the 77's

The best female singer ever in my book is Ella Fitzgerald. I think she is one of the most talented women who walked this earth. Other than that I could never name a favorite because there are so many types of music out there to suit my different moods (I'm moody--lol!)

Some of my favorites (in no particular order):
Janis Joplin
Melanie Safka
Ruth Brown
Big Mama Thornton
Etta James
Mary J. Blige
Joni Mitchell
Joan Baez
Mama Cass
Debra Harry
Peggy Lee
Betty Hutton
Billy Holiday
Susan Tedeschi

You're right. Fun thread!

Don't really have a fave female singer. I don't mind Sarah McLachlin. I do agree with Beavs about Miss Ella though.

Fave male singer? That one's easy. Maynard James Keenan.

 

[endorphin_junkie]

I have tons of favourites...Alison Krauss, Dolores O'Riordan, Patti Smith, Aimee Mann, Natalie Merchant, Christina Aguilara (I'd listen to her sing her grocery list, what a voice!!!)....

My most recent favourites are Feist and Lily Allen, great CD's from both ladies!

Take Care

Hear, hear! No one tops Ella!

No arguments about Ms. Fitzgerald here. Music is such a huge part of me, you all know what I mean.Chapters of our lives are marked with certain songs and stuff. Okay, enough tneah...I will spare you all that....

I too love me some Sarah, but have to be in the right "mood" for her. I tend to get quite nostalgic and teary when listening to her. Yeah, music does that to me. Sinead O'Conner was pretty awesome at times...I am not that crazy about the new gals, Rhinna, Fergie,Beyonce....they annoy. But Gwen Stefani used to sound great a few years back, hate her new stuff though...sorry Gwennie, you were better when you were 'rockin" the Love, Angel, Music, Baby!

I think Phoebe Snow is my favorite for sure, Poetry Man? I like to pretend I am some hippie doin' my thing, listening to some Phoebe Snow....I know, I am a dork, music does that to me.

I tend to like male singers/bands better than women for some reason. Currently I have rediscovered the Smashing Pumpkins and am listening to "Eye"over and over again....very cool song.

I love Prince, Luther Vandross, George Benson, Trent Reznor, Ozzy, Sisters of Mercy and "Woman" by John Lennon has to be the most beautiful love song ever written. "Joy" by Teddy Pendergrass is another movin' and groovin' tune...he is so good. Man, could I ever go on and on like an old windbag!

 

[Jacque1038]

I know a lot of people dont like her because she is not exactly a class act but I really like a lot of Amy Winehouse's stuff. I do not care for the remixed stuff they play on the radio but she really can sing.I also really like PJ Harvey and Tori Amos. Men I really like Eliot Smith. I also really like Tool. It would be hard for me to pick because I listen to so many types of music.

 

[TeTe]

Well, today my choices are:

Women: Maria Callas, Patti Smith, Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, Beth Orton, Aretha Franklin, Sandy Denny, Patty Griffith, Dusty Springfield, Patsy Cline, and Kate Bush.

Men: Antony Hegarty (of Antony and the Johnsons), Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), Teddy Thompson, Leonard Cohen, Arthur Lee (Love), Hank Williams, Sr., Tony Bennett, Tom Waits, Roy Orbison, and Alex Chilton.

Man, Woman, or Whatever: Burial

 

[EVCT]

Let's not forget Stevie Nicks? Led head here!Zepplin rules!
Ellen

 

[Beavs]

Ah! I am glad to see someone else appreciates Kate Bush and Beth Orton.

 

[fit_fairy]

Wonders if Beavs has ever seen "Love Janis" I thought it was great!! Her life was such a tormented, emotional one. She was so truly talented.

[Beavs]

I believe this is coming to a local theater and I think it would be fun to see--the singer seems reasonably talented although I'd sure love to hear Joss Stone or better yet, Susan Tedeschi take a crack at a cover tune. It also occurred to me that I have never read any of her biographies so I just put one on reserve at the library.

 

[fit_fairy]

I love Don Henley, Barry Manilow, Billy Joel, Sting, and Johnny Cash on the male side.

Female-Enya, Sarah Mclauchlin, Sheryl Crow, Janis- I am sure there are more,..

There were two ladies that played her when I saw it and they both did an excellent job. She was truly amazing!!
