I'm glad there are more female musicians today!  They are so over looked for their talent and only looked at for their sex appeal.
My list includes:
MEG LEE CHIN!!!
Madonna
Hole
Janis Joplin
Tori Amos is a goddess
Annie Lennox
Dido
Stevie Nicks
Sarah Mclachlan
Selena (I live in Texas, hehe)
Toby from Snake River Conspiracy (she is my woman!  w00h00)
I listen to more male musicians though ...  I like harder, heavier music and more male musicians are able to give me what I like to hear.  Out of the women I listed: Toby and Meg are the only ones that have that edge I like.  They do it very well.
