Well, I only know two of those bands, and she's not exactly in that genre, but Loreena McKennit is pretty damn awesome for a pop/celtic sound.

:y: Check out her song the Mummer's Dance.

The pop mix and the album mix are both solid. I first heard of her because they used her in the second Highlander Movie (Highlander: The Final Dimension***), singing Bonnie Portmore. I really liked her version, so...

***There is no Highlander 2: The Quickening.
