    Am I the only one that think that Gwen Stefani from No Doubt and Martha Davis from The Motels have very similar voices? I always loved Martha's sultry, dry tone and Gwen's style is very similar.

    If you get a chance listen to "Only The Lonely" and then "Don't Speak" and see if you agree with me.

    I thought that about Gwen and The ladies of the dance hall crashers.

    In the sense of - pure voice, I agree, other than the fact that Martha can get "husky" in her lower range and can use it to seem more assertive/aggressive than Gwen.

    Love, `em both, especially their different phrasing styles.

    Bif Naked is another rock woman with voice that knocks me out.

    I'd love to see any combination of them team up on a song.

    I always thought Gwen sounded like Geddy Lee (sometimes).

    I'm in between laughing and crying but it's all inside. I think I'm going to explode.

    Listen to "Lessons" by Rush and "Happy Now?" by No Doubt. When Geddy yells in that song it sounds just like Gwen when she says " You've got no one else, you're by yourself".
