[ I had never really known for sure, but I had read the proclaimations from various sources. And, like you, I don't really care. But I suppose it is appropriate to challenge claims on occasion. But again, this one is meaningless. Minnie Ripperton may have a wider octave range, but I don't listen to her. So good range with inventive melody and structure are more important, I think. I believe Nina Hagen has/had a wider octave range than Kate.

I'd speculate that Mariah Carey has a wider range as well. But I can't abide her material. I think what you've been hammering me about is the difference in "source' and speculation. A source is not always 100% correct. I have read several 'sources' that have made claims about the legendary '4-octave range' That does not mean they are correct - only that myth and legend do get passed on by fervent fans. God forbid if I may have given credence to the myth. This is the last I care to say about it. ;D

O.K. Time's up on this one. Brian Eno is eliminated. The others move on but Thom Yorke and David Byrne will carry 2 negative votes each in to the next round. ....'New poll soon. If you wish to nominate or vote - these polls are only open a few days, so keep checking. I'm locking this one.
