I sent Bbroo the suggestion of Lori Carson fronting the band Golden Palominos on the album Pure and the song Little Suicides. But as I read your posts I thought, "Yeah. Cocteau Twins." I love their stuff and they're one of my favorite live shows ever. Then I thought, "Dead Can Dance. Yeah." Never saw them but generally love the Celtic influenced sounds. And then I thought, "Fuck yeah! Curve rules." Curve has been one of my favorite bands since the first time I heard that blue ep WAY back in tha day. They were pretty excellent live though the vocals were much too buried in the wall of guitars. And yeah, that Budded on Earth song is killer. Sarah McLachlan is another favorite of mine. That whole Fumbling Towards Ecstacy album is too fine for words. I'm not so sure how great the singer is but I really love that first Single Gun Theory album. She kind of sings monotone but it sits nicely in themusic. And let's not forget Blondie. Debbie Harry'll kick all of your asses any day. Joni Mitchell made some good records. ____________________ www.psychicreform.com ____________________ "Be who you are... not what's cool." --Chef.
