A couple of recent posts got me thinking about a series of top ten lists I thought would be interesting. Who are your top 5 or 10 singers, the voice that kicks you square in the gut everytime you hear it or even think about it?
Provide your list in the comments.
Tomorrow we are gonna post our favorite guitarists - those who get a sound out of their axes that, you know, kick you in the gut. From there we will move along until we have rounded out a couple of full bands in your ranking order. Perhaps not our most desired bar band but groups made up of those musicians we respect the most. Those lists will be posted on the main site as we get them in full.

In typical radnauseum fashion... without putting much thought into it... a few that come to mind are:
1. Otis Redding
2. Sam Cooke
3. (oddly...) Terry Hall
4. Martine from Tricky's group
5. Paul (pd) Heaton
Off the cuff is always the best way to go:
Aretha Franklin
Otis Redding
BBQ
Bonn Scott
Eddie Spaghetti
Neko Case
but # 1 has to be the singers of every growl-style hardcore/metal band
OTIS
Seconding Rad - on the thought requirement:
Gary Louris
Roy Orbison
Paul Westerberg
Townes Van Zandt
Joe Strummer
Rich Manuel (see "Across the Great Divide")
I say Roy Orbison and Paul W too
Nina Simone
Belinda Butcher (anything on isn't anything, loveless, or the EPs)
Amy Millan (Stars) and Tracyanne Campbell (Camera Obscura) (tie)
