she's the most talented female vocalist in the world in my humble opinion. i can't describe the beauty of the instant classic "out of season" album she made with rustin man

I remember her singing getting on my nerves at first, but once you get used to it you can really start to appreciate it, much like björk, sounds strange at first, then sounds awesome later.

for me it was love at first sight :) björk however i used to hate when she was in the sucarcubes, before she got really famous. I didn't really care for her music until she released homogenic

i NEED to hear her album.. i like her voice more than björks. björk has great stuff but no vocalist can top beth.
(btw i love also a totally different kind of voice, that kind of thin, cute and gentle voice as in mum songs)

777 indeed Nick Drake's voice is special... three albums are not enough of it..
also, early Leonard Cohen (1967-1974) is really something.... i can't believe the music he has done since, though.. can't listen to it one bit...

i've borrowed his stuff from the library, thanks to beth and her fascination with his music (the track drake on her album). i've heard bryter layter and pink moon so far... five leaves left is yet unheard.
i read about this finnish guy from helsingin sanomat once. apparently he runs leonard's official site or something. what am i babbling about! :D
recommend some songs of his for me, heikki!

all right heikki... :) the 1975 compilation of his four first albums is a really good starting point i think... it feels like an album really, at least to me. when i found it some weeks ago i just couldn't stop listening to it - ten times a day, and still sounded good... the one i've got is called 'Greatest Hits' but i've seen it on cd as 'The Best Of'...
haha and what am i babbling!? you asked me for songs...
i love everything on the collection but maybe try these: Suzanne Partisan Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye Famous Blue Raincoat Who By Fire

i'd recommend songs like 'strike me down' and 'waterboy'..
their older stuff isn't so emotionally cool as the newer.. ihaven't heard the newest one though. the album 'splinter' is all in all good.

are you joking? imho lisa gerrard contribution to the gladiator-soundtrack was the worst thing she ever did. but she's a brilliant live-performer....

there's a rumour that Zack de la Rocha will take the place of Hössi, the lead rapper of Quarashi. That would fit so well since they have very simular style of singing. Zack and Sölvi ("leader"/producer/drummer) have also the same political views
