I think she's likely to. Even though Björk would be on my list of 10 most annoying voices. Can't please everyone!

The greatest female vocalist has to be Betty Davis

Not only does she have a totaly unique voice, but she gets extra points for introducing her husband Miles to the more freaky ends of the music spectrum

'We're gonna be clocking up quite a few hours in the Rascal, but i've fitted a blaupunkt system so you got any sounds, please bring 'em along. 'No dance bollocks, if i wanna hear electronic bleeps and farts i'll put my foot through the windscreen of the rascal and listen to the alarm going off!' Tommy Saxondale
