Freddie Mercury (Queen)
Kate Bush
Carla Kihlstedt (Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Book of Knots)
Peter Gabriel
Björk
Todd Rundgren (Utopia)
Adrian Belew (King Crimson)
Amy X Neuburg (solo, Amy X and The Men)
Jon Anderson (Yes)
Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull)
The Bulgarian Women's Choir

We like singers who take chances. I'm not sure Jon Anderson falls into that category, but he's such a pure sound I can't fault him on anything.
The Bulgarian Women's Choir had to be taken as a group of singers. If you're not familiar with them, they've shown up on a couple of Kate Bush's albums, as well as a record Eddie Jobson (of UK fame) put together called "Voices of Life", and many other albums. Quite remarkable.
