I'd go for:
Mike Patton or rather controversially.....
The lead singer of Phoenix so I could sing at girls.
While looking them in the eye.
Wearing a suit.
Swaying in a slightly 80's way.
Girls would love that.....

From the Archive - DiS meets Ben Chasny: "Basically I’m lazy, but that’s how I work..."
james blunt
he's rich
and posh
Sinatra
cos he's the greatest
I think it's best to sing like yourself...
...but if I had to choose anyone else then Nick Cave no question.
The amount of character in his voice and the range of his songs are both incredible.
I was going to say Nick Cave too!
Might be a bit weird though, what with me being female and all...
Nah
i reckon that'd be kinda hott.
jeff buckley
obviously.
Orville.
Definitely. Or Sinatra.
ah wish ah could flaaaiii
raaaiiight oop t'the skaaaai... buh tah caaaaaan't.
YE CAN!
ah caaan't. :(
Look Orville
YAHSH?
Who is your very best friend?
YEW AAAARRRE.
(i should hope so, considering where his hand is...)
um
tom waits.
Tom Petty
just for the high bits in Free Fallin'
nina simone
the lady was amazing.
Jeff Buckley
Seu Jorge
Craig Finn
Stephen Malkmus
Stephin Merritt
cedric bixler
in both ATD-I and MV
seu jorge is playing soon
is he not?
i hope so
I don't know either way, I'm gonna investigate.
he is
with Giles Peterson at the end of July in Manchester and in Coventry in November.
and
the roundhouse.
fucking YES.
expensive, mind.
Steve Marriott
out the small faces
Craig Nicholls.
From gorgeous melodic highness, to cocky groany grumbles, to SCREEEEEEAms. <3.
Beethoven.
or Barry White, just because his voice coming out of me would be funny.
Dallas Green
Not one of the all time greats I suppose, but he has a gorgeous voice.
hm
Rob Thomas or David Ford.
Jeff Buckley
its a bit obvious but he has an ace voice. Wouldn't mind being able to play the guitar like him either.
mark e smith
obv
Jacob Bannon
for screaming, but with the singing 'talents' of both Morrissey, Simon Neil and Mike Patton...mint
not sure
franky turney is a good one
also www.myspace.com/estrela - though i'd have to be a girl. hmm
perhaps the bloke from circle takes the square. who knows.
I'd have to be.....
Calvin Johnson
He has such a range...uhhhh..... ;)
Tom Waits
Even if i started now i dont think i could ever smoke enough. Could prob try drinkin lots of Jack though mmmmmmmm..........
i'd want
to be karen O. Just cos she's all punky and the like while I'm more the shy librarian type.
You're right,
Calvin Johnson does have a great voice-very affecting and raw.
good topic!!
Roscoe Holcomb for sure.
my singing voice is very similar to that of the girl from Blonde Redhead, but more whiney, which is really embarassing
cat power
cos her voice is all sexy-like.
Glenn Danzig
That'd be fun. For a while..
Kate Bush
I'm a bloke and it would suprise people when her voice comes out of my mouth.
the shouty dude from The Automatic
get in!!!!!!
MOST ANNOYING PERSON EVER
I'm going to say Chris Leo.
Jeff Buckley
purely for the huge vocal range.
you could sing anything.
what a loss to modern music.
mine:
sarah vaughan
eva cassidy
emma pollock
mama cass
ella fitzgerald
and if i was a guy: nat king cole/ frank sinatra, and top of the list- thom yorke.
Adrian Belew
One word: Charisma.
somewhere between
conor oberst and ryan adams.
to be honest, i just wish i could sing at all :'(
John Reis
Paul Draper
Nick Cave
or
Chino Moreno
Tunde Adebimpe
David Byrne
David Bowie
Scream like Black Francis
Johnny Cash
PJ Harvey
or Judy Garland.
oh oh oh
or Dusty Springfield
duh
good question...
Maybe Jason Molina.
Sam Cooke
cos he was the greatest
regina spektor
..
probably karen o.
and if i were a man then Josh Homme.
maybe
Jeff Tweedy. Or Mark Kozelek.
Jeff Buckley obviously.
Or Dylan circa Bringing it all Back Home. Ridiculously cool.
It can only be
Mike Patton. Like he does all over the 'King For A Day' album.
I dont wanna sing like her but...
her from Feist has a fantamatastic voice.
