wish I could finish a trivia quiz that fast.

So I'm not about to say this guy is my favorite singer because I don't even know who he is, but he's the singer for Deer Tick, a band I just started to investigate (d/l a few freebies from various websites, etc) when DHG sent her Mixtape and this is the song I keep skipping ahead to hear. You can't really hear the, um, character his voice has in the studio recording, but if you know who Wreckless Eric is, you have a really good idea.

This is likely a repost... Steven Page, formerly of Barenaked Ladies. His voice has that je ne sais quois...

I agree, a wonderful and under-rated singer, though his was not the first voice I thought of.  Personally, I've always felt that Nat "King" Cole had the most beautiful voice of any recording artist.  I know; it seems corny, but I still get goosebumps when I hear "Nature Boy" or "Mona Lisa" by him.

Marvin Gaye

Eno, circa "Julie With..."

Kinda OV-esque, eh? 

When I first heard them live on SNL, I needed to smoke a cig afterwards.

That dude from Madrugada.  And what'shername—Timmins—from the Cowboy Junkies.
