The Fray
Great lyrics, particularly the haunting How to Save A Life, which reminds me of so many different people.
The poignant quality of Isaac Slade's voice is amazing.
Coldplay
Driving beats and catchy lyrics, combined with Chris Martin's unique, beautiful voice make these tunes
stand out.
Toby Lightman
A great jazzy, bluesy, smoky voice paired with her guitar and clever lyrics.
K.T. Tunstall
Great voice with clever, insightful lyrics; I really like "Other Side of the World" and how she phrases it.
Train
I'm a long-time fan; love hearing Pat Monahan singing anything.
Madeleine Peyroux
What a unique, fresh, updated jazzy sound with an old-time-jazz flavor. I especially love, "Don't Wait Too Long" and
"You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go."
Karrin Allyson
A completely awesome, under-appreciated and underplayed jazz singer! Besides doing great originals, she has some
exceptionally fine covers.
Norah Jones
What a smooth, smoky, utterly relaxing and enjoyable singer. Primarily jazz, but she's got some other great covers and
songs in other genres as well.
Mariza
The first time I heard her sing I was immediately captivated with her voice. I had never heard Portuguese Fado before
fall 2007, but I am so glad I found it. An exquisite, beautiful voice!
Josh Groban
I find his voice very soothing, pure and beautiful. I particularly love his Christmas songs.
R.E.M.
The unique rhythms mixed with the clever lyrics are unmatched. I always have at least one, but usually more, REM song on
the
playlist to listen to while I run.
Anna Netrebko
I was mesmerized the first time I heard her sing. She has an incredible, rich voice and translates the stories of opera
beautifully.
Talking Heads
I'm a long time fan of this very smart, witty, talented group. I love listening to "Stay Up All Night" with my sons. After
seeing the "Burning Down the House" video I had bad dreams for years about my house burning. :)
