    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    -Tom Waits

    Funny! (Sings "Babe" quietly in my mind.)

    My personal faves:

    Cranberries
    Fleetwood Mac
    Belly
    Juliana Hatfield
    10,000 Maniacs
    Sleater Kinney (The Woods flat out rocked but I'll admit I don't know much about their older stuff)
    The Breeders (Their first album)
    Bjork
    Kate Pierson from the B-52's. (Her duets with Michael Stipe and Iggy Pop are the greatest, not to mention her songs with the B-52's)
    The Sundays

    That's just off the top of my head...

    Yeah yeah Michael Stipe and all the big R.E.M. fans say it was a joke, etc. etc. but I like it. So sue me! It was meant to be campy. Kinda like "Love Shack" for the B-52's but do you hate that one too?
