I first heard Safe As Milk around 1970, and I still listen to it today - imo the good Captain was possessed of a quality voice -and he wrote a mean lyric… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) I'd say David Sylvian's mournful tones are iconic. Not everyone's cup of tea but I couldn't hear enough Japan back in the day. Huge fan, too, of the Dennis Locorriere/Ray Sawyer combination. Edited January 23, 2022 by martoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Not a voice from the mainstream certainly but Hope Sandoval has an iconic voice if you like dreamy vocals. I do like to drift off in that direction sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All have their own distinctive style. The ONLY one who I think can't be replicated is Neil Diamond. Many have tried and failed miserably at your local two bob boozer karaoke. Bizarrely Poly Styrene was one of the first I thought of too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 A wee one for Burns’ Night. Maybe not as famous as some others here but certainly an iconic voice on the Scottish music scene. And proof you don’t need a show off voice to get emotion across. To my ears a much better reading of Burns that Eddi Reader manages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
