I like the fold music.

I'll go with Yumi Uchimura, female vocalist of my favorite post-rock band (School Food Punishment, la la larks). And also Akiko Shikata (she has been contributing to all Ar tonelico series). She sings folk songs, and if you're into Ar tonelico series, her hymmnos give me goosebumps. Very solemn.

 

[Marajan]

I'll have to go with Gackt. He's a Japanese rock artist and one of the best I've ever heard. Hyde is also another great rock artist from Japan :3 Love them both.

 

[FLCL]

Frank Black (The Pixies)
Josh Hommes (Queen of the Stone Age)
Freddie Mercury (Queen)
John Darnielle (The Mountain Goats)
PJ Harvey
Art Garkfunkel
Neil Young
Nina Simone
Marvin Gaye
Elliot Smith

He has a pretty good range of voices.

I don't have too many but; Travie McCoy (Gym Class Heroes) Adam Levine (Maroon 5) and Nate Ruess (Fun.) They're all awesome and have great singing voices. ^.^

My favorite vocalist of all is probably Amy Winehouse. I miss her.
Right now I'm really enjoying Ariana Grande, her lesser known songs really show her true singing talent. Those pop songs you hear on the radio kind of suck...but you know how pop artists are. waste their talent sometimes.
Jonny craig is also one of my favorites. True raw talent. I'm just a fan of those soul/r&b/jazzy style voices.

 

[9070]

Ezra Koening from Vampire Weekend. He's dreamy. huh

Joanna Newsom.

 

[Moon Rain]

Well, the only band (I'm the singer-songwritery type) I really listen to is Coldplay, so I'll go with Chris Martin I think I know about 80% of Coldplay's songs, but I'll always recognize Chris Martin's voice and Colplay's unique music style ^_^
