Thought I'd ask cos I'm listening to Captain Beefheart at the mo' and he's got a smashing warm bluesy tone. Who, in your opinion has the best voice (in a non-classically trained way) Also' for me , Jacqui Mcshee(??) from Pentangle hits the spot. Who are your faves?

Practise makes us a little better, it doesn't make us perfect.

For absolute power (though still in tune!) I'd have to go for Meatloaf. Seen the Meatman 3 times in concert and he was fantastic every time. Wouldn't hesitate to go again.
For the richness and bluesy tone, I'd have to go for David Coverdale, ex-Deep Purple, current Whitesnake and solo singer.
That reminds me, I think I saw in the weekend papers Whitesnake have the first new studio album for umpteen years out soon.Veni, Vidi, Velcro.
I came, I saw, I stuck around.

Van Morrisson, because he can make me cry, feel romantic, happy, bouncy... everything. I also really like Mark Chadwick (The Levellers) for his earthy, sexy sound.I was feeling part of the scenery

My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."

How about Sia Furler from Zero 7 - very sexy and Jose Gonzalez also from Zero 7 and the Sony TV advert with the coloured balls rolling down the street.
And last, but by no means least - Nat King Cole, the richest sounding voice of allA garden is a lovesome thing, God wot! (Thomas Edward Brown)
