Kevin Barnes, hands down.

I have to go with Eddie Vedder. His baritone voice paired with poetic lyrics keeps him a favorite for me.

Dave Gahan- I’d be lying to myself if I said otherwise.

It’s gotta be Stevie.

Emily Hanes live. John Lennon dead.

Ted Leo, no question!

Julian Casablancas. He can scream, he can croon, he can mumble, he can soar. Great lyricist to boot!
Liz Phair is a close second.
Morrissey third.

Camille – she can go from shotgun weirdness to beatboxing to classical falsetto croons at the click of a finger. So inventive, never dull.

(Oops, forgot to put not to enter me into the competition. Cornwall to Madison is a tad far. Just wanted to weigh in.)

Erika Wennerstrom hands down!!

Gotta be Craig Finn from the Hold Steady. Manic and rambly, shouty and poetic. Brilliant.

To quote my second favorite in this category (Will Sheff) from one of his old Austin Chronicle articles – “NICK FUCKING CAVE.”
There seems to be a common thread of darkness and brutal honesty running through my top 5 – a list I composed according to this decade about two months ago.
Craig Finn (Hold Steady)
Hutch Harris (Thermals)
Yoni Wolf (Why?)
Will Sheff (Okkervil River)
Nick Cave (Bad Seeds, Grinderman)

Favorite males Matthew Sweet, Ryan Adams, and The Jayhawks’ Louris & Olson

Beck Hansen-Not much he can’t do!

I’m gonna go with Jim Morrison for his excellent lyrics, voice, and general good ol’ debauchery.
July 30th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
Has to be Van Morrison. He can literally do it all. Dude has God-given plugin effects. “Beside You,” Astral Weeks? Sounds like there was a tightjeans nerdglasses kid with a Macbook cutting up his vocals. Nope. Just pipes.
July 30th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
Jim James. Obviously.
