Literally every single song, when listened to consciously and/or for the second time, has something special. How annoying for making my mind up... and well done folks!

I absolutely agree with you, there!  Even if I didn't mention someone specifically, all of the selections were choice material.

Good songs overall. Two stand out here, these seem to have an added dimension: Faun Fables and Frau Morgenstern. My third vote I'd grant to Heather Nova.

Honourable mentions: An Pierlé, Angelica Garcia and Fiona Apple.

Ultimately it comes down to Heather Nova vs. Nico vs. Melanie vs. Francesca Lago vs. An Pierle. I can't really exclude hardly anything, let me also mention Annika Akjaer and Lianne Le Havas (the only one of these apart from Barbara Morgenstern I have seen live), but ultimately of course I have to...

So out of the top five... I'll look a bit at who has votes already, and surely Nico and Melanie deserve them, so that'll be my top two... and of the others I'm today most drawn to Francesca Lago. But really, I can understand why moshkito tends to write he doesn't like "Top X" as ranking hardly can do classy works justice.

I enjoyed this one as well and it was a tough battle to my podium:

1. Barbara Morgenstern - Angel's Whisper
2. An Pierlé - Helium Sunset
3. Francesca Lago - Bring the Noise

And my cop out from the last poll remains---the rest for honorable mentions.

@Nickie, glad you got a laugh from Lily Allen. Catchy tune and chorus does get stuck in my head. Caught myself almost singing it out loud at the store the other day, although it would have been muffled by the face mask I was wearing.

A good night of sleep, the rain pouring outside, a nice cup of coffee. Perfect day for listening to this Approve
I think Heather Nova and Barbara Morgenstern stand out more in this poll. I could have chosen any other for my third vote but gave the first vote for Anneka Aakjaer, lovely tune.

This poll is one of my favourite. 

The music is excellent.

My podium:

1) Gold medal: NICO: Mutterlein.

This song is an absolute masterpiece. It's spectral free-folk-jazz music with a dissonant relationship between vocals and music. Thanks to John Cale for the arrangement and the production.

Desertshore is on of my fave album ever.

Many other songs are excellent but this song, for my taste, sets them all by a great distance.

2) Silver Medal: Barbara Morgenstein: Silver medal: remarkable orchestral song, excellent vocal performance by the singer and the choir


3) Bronze Medal: Faun Fables: Goodbye. For the third position, in my mind there was a duel between this song and Heather Nova's song. Both are excellent, wonderful vocal performance, and in the end Goodbye won for the
excentric arrangement.


----------------------------


Honorable mentions:


4) Heather Nova


5) Annika Aakjær “Kjøvenhavner-sangen (The Copenhagen song)”


6) Anjelica Garcia


7) An Pierlè


8) Mary Black

A strong edition, but perhaps I missed a few more songs in a major key. My votes go to:

Nico - "Mütterleiin"
Lianne La Havas - “Courage”
Fiona Apple - "Sullen Girl"

Nova
Fables
Martin

but several that didn't make the cut were actually my favorites...really liked London Song by Nova...and the Peacock track and Dar Williams.
