Bjork rocks my nipples. I'm too lazy to check the rest of the thread, but I'm really into Feist right now...and honestly, Amy Winehouse's album really is good.
Evanescence, and one of my favorite songs by her below Evanescence - Breath no more http://youtube.com/watch?v=xKVPp8Wz0WY
Maybe the reason is that she's a skinny, nasty, insane coke whore? lol...I kindof like that about her. We don't have enough musicians who are hopeless wrecks these days.
Amy is harsh to look at, and totally fucked up, but has, this amazing voice about her...and just the fact that shes this, swaggery drugger, gives her songs such a personality and feeling
I like too many to pick a favourite. Billie Holiday Jewel Buffy Sainte-Marie Rita Guerrero Patsy Cline Loretta Lynn Feist (Leslie Feist) Nina Simone Lauryn Hill Eryka Badu Sharon Shannon .... And many, many more.
I like Taylor Swift. I saw her music video on CMT. She can't sing for crap, but she's fun to look at.
No one mentioned Martha Wainwright? I adore her music, her voice is amazing. And her gigs just rock my socks. Also.. Joni Mitchell, Patti Smith, Ani DiFranco, Björk, Tracy Chapman, Alanis Morissette, Nina Simone.. It's a shame about Amy Winehouse. She's got so much talent in her and also an amazing voice, but she's just fucking it all up by being a twat.
Indeed. I was just listening to the album you have in your sig yesterday. It's a truly beautiful album.
