A "Unique" Voice...
Nancy Griffith. Joan Armatrading. Richard Thompson. Elvis Costello. PJ Harvey. Edie Brickell. Marianne Faithful(oozes experience albeit not unique experience). Gillian Welch. Macy Gray.Ani Difranco. Lauri anderson. Many unique voices- and many more, but these in particular stand outside classification to my way of thinking. UniQue talents that have arrived inspite of not being fit into the usual genre molds or having the usual Qualifications. |
Synthfreek- way cool! Klaus was a favorite of mine back then. Looks like an interesting movie: The Trailer Synthfreek mentioned Official Movie Website Thanks for the heads-up! Marco |
The first who came to mind is Mary Fahl -- was with the October Project and is now solo. Very low, unusual but haunting voice. Her "Other Side of Time" album is wonderful! It always finds it's way to the rotation, especially by my wife. More well known is Kate Bush (maybe it's more how she uses her voice than the nature of her voice). Would Rod Stewart, Joe Cocker or Janis Joplin fit the category? They all have unusual but very distinctive voices. |

Robin Holcomb, wife of saxophonist Wayne Horvitz. She has a fey and haunting voice that works well with her compositions, which are also otherworldly and haunting. Try her first CD on Nonesuch, "Robin Holcomb." If you like Iris, you'll probably like her too, yet they're quite different. Her piano-based songs remind some people of Charles Ives. |
Lane Staley from Alice in chains. Some people hate his voice, some people love it. He is the only singer ive ever heared that can seemingly hit 2 pitches at the same time. Zack Delarocha from Rage Against the Machine... there is a unique voice and style. Loud, quick, clipped.... Lets not forget the singer to the Violent Femmes, really not that great of a singer, but somehow manages to pull it off regardless. |
