Who do you consider to be the greatest voice of all time?

I would probably agree with the choice of Linda Ronstadt. If you saw her voice on an oscilloscope as I have you would be amazed at how perfect it is.

I like ethereal, sad, kind of voices instead of really powerful voices, so I'll go:
Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies, esp. "Trinity Session" era)
Emmylou Harris (her later stuff, starting with "Wrecking Ball")
Don't get me wrong, I love Aretha and Sam Cooke as much as anyone else, and Johnny Cash rocks, but those two voices above move me like no one else.

Van Morrison
Jeff Tweedy
Michael Hutchence

I really like John Lennon's voice, but that's already been mentioned along with many others. Also, Liam Gallagher's voice in his early days was great.
My favorite female voice that hasn't been mentioned yet is that of Beth Orton. Another that I don't think has been mentioned is Andrea Corr.
