Ditto on the pitch thing - what makes me claw my ears is when any voice (including my own) just can't seem to hold onto a pitch with a pair of pliers. She's got a deeply quirky way of producing melody, but it's a true melody for all that. I agree with the Bjork and the Kate Bush concepts both.
Also, for the record, I can't *stand* Dylan. I'll read his poetry all day long, but I'd rather put out my own ears with salad tongs than listen to him. The only time I've sat through his music was when Ani Difranco opened for him - and even that was in deference to the older gent who'd driven me to the concert.
