A fan of both.  Joseph Arthur is right up there in my book.

Can't believe I forgot to mention two of my absolute favourites:

Emilie Autumn (I'd say "Opheliac" is the best album to start with)
Skin (the lead singer of Skunk Anansie) whose two solo albums are superb. "Fleshwounds" is probably my favourite of the two, though.

I like Anna LaCazio from the cult (at least in France!) 80's pop band **** Robin:

I think her voice works very well with Peter Kingsbery's one.


Skin (the lead singer of Skunk Anansie) whose two solo albums are superb. "Fleshwounds" is probably my favourite of the two, though.

I saw a Skunk Anansie gig three years ago...it was absolutely great and what vitality and charisma Skin has on stage!!...thrilling!!
I haven't listened to her solo albums though.

SKUNK ANANSIE... such an amazing live band!  Haven't I mentioned them before?  Skin... so bloody amazing.

Hmmm, I might feel a thread coming on...   ;)

Sinead O Conner, 'Take Me To Church', from her excellent new album 'I'm Not Bossy, I'm The Boss'...

Well worth a listen.

Yes, I have heard JS in interviews, or read somewhere that he likes Kate Bush.
I have to say, I did wonder if to any extend "Summer Moors" was a follow up or sequel to her "Wuthering Heights" ??

BUMP!

Not entirely sure about that, but if you listen real close (to Mr. Sullivan's vocal in) "Horsemen" he's surely channelling Ms. Bush from here.  As for a lyrical influence... you can see it, hear it, taste it, in "Firework's Night", from this one of hers.  That's twice, and both influences from the very same Kate Bush album, "The Sensual World".

That said, I highly doubt the echo is done consciously, though.  She just lives in him, naturally... as does he, within each and every one of us here.  She's a part of him, in a very sacred, everlasting, special way.  Damn!  They would've made some really fine lookin' lads and lasses had they had a thing.  Both incredible stunners, as far as I'm concerned!  8) 

Ahhh, but of course... I could just be a seriously fcuked up individual, that hears and sees stuff, that probably isn't even there.   :-\

Pink....not all of her stuff but she has some good songs in her back catalogue. And having come through the age of Britney/Christallmighty Aguilera, all power to her.
