Have to agree with sy (is he a canuck?)
Let me add elena ledda - a voice to die for, bod dylan for the lyrics ( a voice to die of), the bulgarian national radio womens choir for the sheer raw power womens voices are able to convey, and tom waits for both lyrics and a voice to die from and of. |

Canada does seem to produce a disproportionate share of great songwriters and musicians. Must be those long, solitary winters.

Al, I mostly agree, but there are the exceptions.

Sounds like a generalization. Generalizations do nobody justice.
I think you need to listen to TOOL.

I very rarely buy anything based on lyrics. Mostly on overall sound, voice, quality of sound (in that order). I'll admit to liking some lyrics after the fact ("Baby's on Fire" by Brian Eno), but mostly it doesn't come into it for first purchase.

Well... I disagree with the original post. My personal preference is female singer songwriters for the lyrics, and male for vocals and quality.
Quality and overall sound like with Cloth Ears, comes first above all.
