Who are other singers you are fond of?

Right now I'm listening to quite a few people whose voices I love. I have a soft spot for a great vocalist what can I say. Thom Yorke is kicking some butt with his amazing work on In Rainbows; that album is amazing. Also I seem to be listening to a lot of the Deftones. I normally don't like metal music but Chino Moreno really has a distinctive voice that's hard to forget. Also I'm under the spell of the Japanese singer Salyu. I really like her Jeff Buckley style of pop music and that tremendous voice. Wow, she's good. I love so many of her songs (Dialogue, Landmark, Iris, Live version of To U) and I don't know what the hell she is saying. It shows that good music trancends cultural bounderies.

Thom Yorke -well, I prefer his solo album to In Rainbows but yes amongst all present-day musicians his voice's OK.
I think that it's hard to find musicians with good voices nowadays. It's like everybody can make music these days and many bands exist without e.g. guitar technical skills and I think it's same with voices. Doesn't matter if the artists can really sing, the important thing is a catchy tune. It may sound good for those ordinary people who would like to make music because it's much easier to get into the music business. But for me as a listener it's pretty annoying that it's so hard to find good singers these days.
Check out CocoRosie they can do anything they want with their voices though their songs don't move me that much. Adam Green also sounds interesting.
Yeah, Damon Albarn's my god but not only because of his voice.
