Nina Persson. I've you think she's creepy on her own try watching the, frankly terrifying, video to Burning Down the House, her duet with Tom Jones.

Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion

I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Haven't seen that, buth the idea of having both Nina Persson and Tom Jones at once is pretty terrifying in itself. ;)

I'm suprised that no one has mentioned Aimee Mann. For those that are unfamiliar with her solo work, she was the force behind 'Til Tuesday. Her songwriting and her delivery are amazing.
Also what about Kate Pearson and Cindy Wilson of the B52's?

Also Lisa Loeb...whom I've been told I look like.

Christene McVie...What a onderful voice...And who can forget Pat Benatar. Pat taught me what it was to be a man a very long time ago. Her covers of old blues standards such as "paying the Cost to be the Boss" are absolutely incredible.
