3) Renata Knaup - the mere sound of her voice makes me harder than a 2x4.  Sadly underused IMO in that group.
4) Jack Bruce - not just a bass player man.. that voice. Heart
5) Demetrio Stratos - not just a singer... but an instrument in himself.

Amon Düül 2's "Vortex" should be just the thing for you then; Renate appears on every track there, even in the opening instrumental (she only sings "oohs" and "ahs" in it. oh and she laughs at the beginning of the track)

Wow. Diamanda Galas? You are intense homey.

And how about that Brandan Perry? Amazing.
God. The way he sings on 'Children Of the Sun' is a huge Homerun if you ask me.
