My most recent purchases have been older albums that I once owned but somehow managed to lose along the way. I purchased Belly's "Star" album (Tania Donnelly's voice is unbeleivable). Grant Lee Buffalo's "Mighty Joe Moon" (A true gem from a little known band) and Michael Penn's "March" which was a steady play while I was in college (I actually remember liking it more in College after listening to it again but oh well...tastes change).
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself. John Stuart Mill

Yeah, she does have a beautiful voice. See also, Portishead. The singer for the Eels has a strange, child-like voice.

I've heard alot of good things about Portishead but I don't know if I've ever heard anything from them. How would you describe it? I think I have the first Eels album. I believe they did "My Monster and Me" which was used in the movie Shrek and the also had another hit from that album thet received a good amount of radio play. The title escapes me right now.
I'm a big fan of unique vocals and a large sound, hence my love of the Smashing Pumpkins. Any recommendations are welcome!

You know those really throaty lounge singers in noir movies? Like that... similar to Poe.

Not sure why I said Eels, though I suppose they're alright. Meant to say Cranes. One of the bands my wife has exposed me to... like Tori Amos and The Cure.

Hmmm...Sounds interesting. I own Poe's first album and I like it alot. I'll have to check them out. Any particular album that you would recommend?

Actually own the Cranes album as well...so far your recommendations are all very good...

Hard to find their albums. My wife says One and Jewel, she thinks, are good. Forever Songs is their newest, got it at Borders a while ago.
