1. Kate Bush
2. Happy Rhodes
3. Elizabeth Fraser
4. Anneli Drecker
5. Noe Venable

Honourable mentions to Alison Shaw, Tori Amos and Joni Mitchell (of course).

I seem to like female singers far more than male ones. Weird. Unfortunately some of my friends would class Prince as a female singer. mad



cool Great list. Happy Rhodes is amazing.


Your musical taste seems almost as good as my own. razz

Looking forward to hearing your 'mixtape'!
