    I've always liked Aimee Mann(former lead singer of 'Til Tuesday).

    I also like the Cowboy Junkies, although they may not appeal to many on this board.

    I'll let others name the newer artists since I don't really listen to newer music as much as I used to and don't really care for a lot of stuff newer than the 90's. I'm also not sure what kind of music you like, but I'm all over the place with my "likes". I also wasn't sure if you just wanted groups or would accept solo acts :

    1 : Please have a sub when listening to this one. Don't listen to it on cheap headphones of nerdy pc speakers. And for the love God, crank it :

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/M3T_xeoGES8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    2 : From the Christine McVie era of Fleetwood Mac. One of my favorite songs EVAH :

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ThbMaq8hDEo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    3 : Stevie Nicks (also of Fleetwood Mac fame). Check out her other stuff from Fleetwood Mac, too :

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jdJ-i23OiJU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    4 : Deborah Harry from Blondie gave us one of the first songs with rap in it to hit it big in mainstream music:

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pHCdS7O248g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    5 : Teena Marie's version of Rose Royce's "Wishing on a Star" is one of the few instances where I think the remake is just as good as the original. Her voice is freaking angelic. Talk about tearing it up :

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/m6kRXhyFllg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    6 : And then the original. Rose Royce's Gwen Dickey's voice is awesome :

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mlqMm5sifXs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    7 : Heart - big hit... bigger hair :

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/41P8UxneDJE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    8 : Etta James is pure awesomeness. Here's her "At Last". Check out her other stuff like "I Rather Go Blind" if you're into this - she's awesome on that one, too. :

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_Q2rZb7E0EY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    7 : And I saved the best for last :

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/CD2LRROpph0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Ok, I got tired, so ... some others I like : Lady Antebellum, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, Anita Baker, Roberta Flack, etc., etc. lol.

    A little bit from both ends of the spectrum...I figure the second/third song is less likely to be your cup o' tea, but it can't hurt to listen.

    Tracy Nelson. This is from a concert in 1987. I just wish she was playing with Mother Earth, a far better group, as she was when I first saw her, and them, 20 years before. She was slim and beautiful back then, and had more range, but Tracy can still belt out this song.

    Damn. I had never heard of her before, but that song blew me away from beginning to end.

    I guess Flyleaf is cool if you like chicks with a lot of throat.

    Any song, any era? Not even remotely rock, but since someone else mentioned Etta James:

    Billie Holiday had the greatest voice ever. With whatever big (or little) band she had backing her.

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Z_1LfT1MvzI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    "Strange Fruit," especially given the subject matter, gets me every time.

    <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/bXdnD39GYVU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    Her Louis Armstrong duets are also classics.
