As visual treats (excepting Kylie) are off the menu, how about the voices you just can't get enough of hearing. Could it be called aural perving?
Here's one I just can't hear enough. Justine Frischmann from Elastica
and one I just wish was mine. (Chromeo - So Down)
EDIT: having trouble getting the videos embedded..........
8th EDIT: cracked it at last.
Not singing, but the actress Claudia Black in Farscape has a voice that does funny things to my nether regions!
Listening to Mariella Frostrup on't radio does it for me
Joan Greenwood
Anyone got some D minor?
OOOH this could be interesting.
Also non singing:
kirsty allsop
Kim wilde
Claire from steps
& Bjork.
Oh and Bane in the new Bat man movie.
& Slovenian ladies saying December 30th in their native language.
Shirley Manson from Garbage and Aja Volkman from Nico Vega, though for very different reasons.
Garbage - Queer :
Nico Vega - Beast :

Mmmmmmmm 😳
i'm quite liking that french detective camille in death in paradise.
singing, for me the all time one is sandy denny just lifting/highlighting robert plants voice in battle of evemore
Björk could sing the telephone directory and it would still sound frickin' great.
The rabbit from the Caramel advert.
Shame the woman that did the voice was about 98 yrs old though.
Suzanna Hoff
Toyah
(Always loved a lisp).
+1Listening to Mariella Frostrup on't radio does it for me
For singing talent Otep Shamaya and of course as trite as it may be Maria Callas
Whoops loyal fans, its not December 30th its actually "twelve months" in Slovenian.
It still makes me laugh.
The girl who sang never ending story with Limahl..
and Linda Barker from Changing Rooms
The Rabbit from the caramel ad's 🙂

Ooh also Oliver postgates voice in bagpuss.
Especially the opening credits, it still makes me cry at 40.
I've always had a weird obsession with Kate Pierson from the B52s' voice. She even made REM's Shiny Happy People bearable.
Julianne Regan from All About Eve
Liz Fraser - Cocteau Twins
Justine Frschmann +1
Wotsername from Texas
Nelly Furtado , mmm, sexy voice!
Emiliana Torrini talking
johndoh - MemberSuzanna [b]Hoff [/b]
Ooo, is she single[i](ular)[/i]? 😉
And back OT, Kirsty Young can read me the news any day...
Shireen Liane of the Slingbacks/Lumiere Brothers. Can't find the best example online, so here's a halfassed one
The sound of teenage Northwind falling in love 😆
John Hannah - I'm a sucker for a Scots accent. 🙂
When I win the lottery, I'm going to pay Kirsty Young to read novels to me.
Briana Corrigan
Not a singer (although he could sing if he wants to, I wouldn't complain!)... Richard Armitage.
Aasmah Mir - quite like a posh scottish accent.
Always liked this version of Come Together

For me, not a singer, but Nemone from 6Music... she could read the telephone directory and i'd be happy.

FTFY.
+1 for Kate Pierson from the B52s (and any other helium fuelled vocals) although I can't say I've ever heard her talking rather than singing and American accents can be a big let down. Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day is a good example.

Julianne Regan from All About Eve
Oi! I called dibs on Ms Regan on the other thread. Get your own. 😉
One probably no one will have heard of, but Christina Booth of Magenta. South Wales Valleys accent, she's also very pleasant on the eye.
Tanya Donelley
Sonya Madan
How about Angelina Jolie? Her usual accent is pretty nasty, but when she puts on the upper-class English accent (ala Lara Croft) she sounds lovely (she's still pretty rough, though). As for singing, then it's got to be Hayley Williams. Have a listen to some of the unplugged / live stuff she's done; serious eargasm material.
The best Male voices are Patrick Stewart and Rowan Williams!

Let me know when this happens so I can nip round yours with my best armchair.

Dusty Springfield

Jennifer Ehle - Calypso in Camomile Lawn ... and not just for the voice 😉
Hope Sandoval. Sounds so fragile... yet utterly beautiful. Gives me the horn.
Cerys. I would marry her just for her accent.

Woman speaking - this ^^^
Man speaking Richard Burton (starts @ 1 min):
Singing - just love Clare Grogan innocence and naughtiness all wrapped up together:
Not singers, but Kirsty Young and actually most women on Radio 4 😳

Shireen Liane of the Slingbacks/Lumiere Brothers. Can't find the best example online, so here's a halfassed one
Bloody hell, I didn't think anyone knew about The Slingbacks! Great band.
Voices, eh? Sandy Denny, Emmylou Harris, Shawn Colvin, Patty Griffin are all huge favourites of mine, Emmylou in particular, has a yearning quality to her voice that always raises the hair on the back of my neck, and sends shivers down my back.
There's another singer/songwriter who has a fantastic voice, mellifluous is the word that springs to mind.
Her name's Kris Delmhorst, and she's wonderful!
A personal favourite song of hers is [i]You're No Train[/i] from her album [i]Song For A Hurricane[/i]
I advise anyone who treasures a good voice along with quality songwriting to check her out.
