Annie Lennox, solo artist and half of The Eurythemics. How else could I better describe her other than incredibly soulful? I was in high school when Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) hit the radio airwaves. I remember thinking 'I hope they say who sings this when it's over.' They did and I went to Crow's Nest to snatch up a cassette, thinking that if anything else on it was remotely as good as what I'd just heard, then good money spent..

Avril Lavigne, solo artist. Normally in making a list like this Avril would be going out on a limb, but it's my personal list so no biggy, right? She writes her own stuff and three albums later she's proven that she's not a one hit wonder. And she's got this little edgy thing going on... and I like that.

Norah Jones, solo artist and singer/songwriter among other things. She reminds me of Sade in a way, and like Sade, also comes across with a distinct 'This is what I do and if you like it great but if not that's OK too and I'm not changing a thing to fit into anyone elses mold' attitude. Her three albums are tops. Also, if you didn't pick up her second one, she does a song with Dolly Parton. Cool stuff.

Lisa Loeb is a solo artist. She has had her share of radio play but I see Lisa Loeb as more than that. I can't put my finger on it... maybe it's those glasses. How in the world can she pull off something like that and be sexy about it? Anyway, everything she has done has been first rate, although not all have been a commercial success. Sounds like a theme that runs though a lot of music I like...

This is KD Lang. (Side note...I don't care about her sexual preferences, I just wonder if I should feel bad about posting the most feminine picture I could find?) Whatever. On her own merits, KD Lang has a world of accomplishments that someone could bring up, but I feel her crowning moment was her work with the late Roy Orbison. Who else could possibly pull off a duet of Crying with THE greatest voice in Rock and Roll and pull it off? Together they sounded perfect, like the song was written to be a duet.
