Of course I deliberately left out Hugh Cornwell.

As regards Strummer, can anyone imagine "London Calling", "Complete Control" or the sublime "White Man in Hammersmith Palais" sung by anyone else? I certainly can't. Any other singer would sound ***** by comparison.

Poor old Jimmy Pursey.

Sadly, he truly believed everything he sang, didn't he?

Played a few AAE tracks on YouTube last night. For a goth babe she was very appealing, and a lovely voice.

Other females I like include Sarah Maclachlan ('Angel' is beautiful), Heather Nova, Margot Timmins as the voice of Cowboy Junkies and Alison Krauss.
