Let's not forget the Three Tenors.

Bjork has the best voice of any female singer since the early ninetees. Better than many of the great operatic sopranos. Cecilia Bartoli is a close second.

Pavarotti's voice has been busted for years. In the 70's, however, he was the freaking man. I have a recording of Boeme from 1973 with him that's incredible. A few years back I saw a live pbs special of him doing 3 acts from 3 different operas. One was the third act of Boheme and it sucked. He was totally drowned out by the soprano.

 

[mrSHEiK124]

Davey Havok (AFI)

 

[bandana163]

Sabine Edelsbacher (Edenbridge) and Simone Simons (Epica) have great, strong, and feminine voices (IMO, even better than that of Tarja Turunen). Their bands are also top-notch, as long as your favorite genre is symphonic metal.

Luca Turilli has also managed to get a very good female singer for his latest album, but her name hasn't been revealed yet (her nickname is Myst).
