Are we talking favorite artists or favorite singers? There is a difference IMO.

You'd probably swap Bush or Callas for Bowie?

At this moment:

1. Van Morrison: the master! spiritual, deep, mesmerizing.

2. Lyle lovett: beautifull tone, and a real touch of tenderness and melancholy.

3. Teddy Thompson: clear, strong, pursuading.

4. Gavin Friday: almost campy, but with a lovely dark and sincere undercurrent

5. Joni Mitchell: especially when it comes to timing and phrasing.

6. Michael Stipe (REM): technically not a born talent, but the way he can use it is splendid.

7. Gary Louris (Jayhawks): pure, distinctive country-rock 'growl'

8. Björk: a love it or hate it voice, but in essence one of most the distinctive and strong vocal artists from the last 30 years

9. Nick Drake: timid, insecure, tender, but right on spot when combined with his music.

10.Susan McKeown:fragile sounding folk-singer, if only for her tremendous rendition of the traditional "Shamrock Green".

Honorable mentions:

Thé Lau: gravelled voiced singer from the dutch rockband "The Scene"

David Hidalgo (Los lobos): earthly, wise, melancholic and tender at the same time.
