Her new I Love Rock N' Roll video is fantastic! (shame about the song though!)

(In fact the song is a contender for the 'worst cover-versions' thread).

16-11-2002, 12:08 AM

I'll second that Lex. Tis awful song.

groundy · 16-11-2002, 12:45 AM

Aimee Mann - a great choice Gordon

.

As for Britney, I turn the volume off when she comes on and imagine she is mouthing to other things.

16-11-2002, 12:47 AM

I love Aimee Mann's Magnolia soundtrack. Found her other stuff a bit iffy.

Groundy, I don't like your new avatar

16-11-2002, 2:03 AM

Hmmmmmm....difficult choice this....may have 2 think a while...

Although Sam Brown, Claudia Fontaine & Durga McBroom's vocals on Floyd's (Pulse Live) 'Great Gig In The Sky'.........is pure class.

I'll have another think.

Adzman...

It certainly aint that effing talentless turd B...Sp..

Like you'd say no

16-11-2002, 2:29 AM

Mr S.God

Perhaps S.Brown, C.Fontaine & D.McBroom are not as pleasing on the eye as Miss Sp.....

But, they are superb singers...

In comparison, Miss Sp. is like your purchases from CD-Wow.....

Cheap.

(But i'm sure you know that)

Adzman.........

16-11-2002, 2:52 AM

I think i'll stick to the Amps & Speakers section..

Now Mr SG I admire your taste in films, but if you was to come round 'ere slagging off the White Stripes, I would say No, take your film reviews and CD Wow recommendatios elsewhere and give you a shlap

gringottsdirect · 17-11-2002, 4:55 PM

Mary J Blige, Anastacia, Alicia Keys

18-11-2002, 12:43 AM

18-11-2002, 3:50 PM

Can anybody recommend specific albums with any of these artists, please ? - preferably some with superb recording quality !

I have heard so much about Eva Cassidy, but have not heard any of her albums....... I think

BJ (need new music for new speakers

)

18-11-2002, 4:12 PM

Angela Gossow for me. Lead singer of Arch Enemy.

or perhaps Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil now there is a beautiful voice.

texasboy · 18-11-2002, 7:41 PM

Loads of cool singers mentioned already - My favourites would include-

Norah Jones
Diana Krall
Stacey Kent
Tracey Chapman
Tracey Thorne??????(Everything But The Girl)
Kate Bush

to name but a few.

Eva's Songbird album is pretty good starting point.

Rambo John J · 19-11-2002, 9:05 AM

Little known US avant garde/drone rocker Jessica Bailiff is about the only female vocalist I'm into. Very ethereal sounding with drifting, distorted ambient guitar soundscape stuff. Nice

19-11-2002, 2:28 PM

In no particular order:

Kate Bush
Stevie Nicks
Alanis Morisette
Natalie Merchant (10,000 maniacs)
Lorita Grahame (Colourbox)

And although I'm really not into this sort of music, I recently heard "Everytime you say goodbye" by Ella Fitzerald...Wow!!!

*SOUNDSTYLE* · 19-11-2002, 3:11 PM

Natalie Imbruglia
Stina Nordenstam
Sinead O'Connor
