And not just for the eye-candy.
Current faves of mine:
Within Temptation
Subrosa
Jex Thoth
Tristania
early Nightwish (Tarja-era)
Savages
Royal Thunder
Windhand
Jefferson Airplane
Fleetwood Mac
The thing about vocals for me is that they can't just sound pretty, they need to hold my attention for a whole album. I can easily listen to most male vocals (except the vocalists from Megadeth, Avenged Sevenfold, Volbeat and a few others: they can all go to voice box hell as far as I'm concerned) but with females my taste is a lot more restricted for some reason. I don't know why I just get bored with a lot of female vocalists after a few songs. Delian, newer Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, Halestorm, etc, are fine for a song or two, it all just gets boring rather quickly though. Strange.

We were where werewolves were - old
No, not really. Most of them sound the same and try too hard to act tough and it makes me cringe - assuming we're talking about metal and hard rock - with the exception of a few. Like the chic from Arch Enemy, she kicks ass. As for bands in other genres, yeah. I love Stevie Nicks, a few of Dolly Parton's songs are alright too. Heart too. On a side note, I think the point of this thread went over a few heads...
