Mary Lee of Mary Lee's Corvette. Her voice is amazing, her songs are amazing, and she looks amazing too! Also, she's a big Bob Dylan fan (and that's also amazing).

Chingal0 · 11-05-2003, 09:09 PM

Noone said Mariah Carey! Or Britney Spears! Or Christina Aguilasdrasea!

Seriously tho, Walls of Jericho has a chick singer. I dont like her, but lots do. Um, that trio chick band, Kitty I think is the name. The suck IMO, but its jut my opinion.

Yay.

jvwgtr · 11-10-2003, 06:20 AM

I seriously love PJ Harvey, along with Beth Gibbons, and Bjork, as several of you have already mentioned mentioned.
But I also have to cast a vote for Martina (from Tricky's albums), and Skye Edwards from Morcheeba.
I'm also still crazy about Angie Hart from Frente!

j8ear · 11-13-2003, 04:02 PM

Dolores O'Riordan from the Cranberries is fantastic.

Others of note:

Pat Benatar
Sophie B Hawkins
Indigo Girls
Melissa Etheridge
Four Non Blondes

How about those chicks that play the electronic string instruments and just rock with some great classical music...Very Sexy, very beautiful, and very enjoyable music.

Chick's rock

nanofever · 11-16-2003, 02:54 PM

Jennifer Hamel of Clandestine has an amazing voice, it is make you going into the fetal position and cry good.

TheClarkster · 11-16-2003, 04:42 PM

Shirley Manson of Garbage has a great voice. Only real girl singer I know and like.

MSD · 11-18-2003, 01:45 PM

Lacuna Coil, Archenemy, Enter Chaos, and Evanescence are a few bands with female singers who I listen to regularly.

Sho Nuff · 11-26-2003, 12:17 PM

Skin from Skunk Anansie has the most amazing voice ive ever heard. It surprises me that woman that thin can have such a big sound.

Also, N'Dea Davenport - formerly of Brand New Heavies but at her best as a solo artist.

tikki · 11-26-2003, 05:40 PM

Jadey · 11-27-2003, 02:53 AM

How about Bikini Kill with Kathleen Hanna and The Devotchkas, a female punk band.

vonstalhein · 11-27-2003, 01:42 PM

My band has a female singer, and everytime i hear her voice i go gooey. I love 'em when they're good, if they're used in the right context so to speak, it's so refreshing.

Chilly McFreeze · 12-01-2003, 11:59 AM

I have to admit that I like Dido and older Jewel stuff, even though it's not what I normally listen to. I do think that Evanescence disc is one of the top 3 albums of the year - those guys have potential!

PeaceFrog · 12-02-2003, 08:58 PM

Has anyone heard of Sarah Slean? She's an amazing canadian female singer/pianist. Totally under-rated though, but definitely worth checking out.

Unknown Poster · 12-03-2003, 06:20 AM

I like Aimee Mann. Nice mellow stuff. My wife looks at me strangely because it is sos totally different than what I normally listen to.

hawkeye · 12-03-2003, 04:48 PM

lessee here....
Amy Lee.
Gwen Stefani.
whoever the girl was who did 'leaving on a jet plane' for the armageddon soundtrack.
Enya.
Lita Ford.
The girl from OTEP.
Can't forget Alice Cooper<g>,
and My Favourite...The lead singer from Wedding Party (one album, and they were gone. I'm going to go cry now)

taliendo · 12-04-2003, 11:45 PM

I have to take this opportunity to plug my favorite band, Over the Rhine. They are a local (cincinatti) based band, but have gained a lot of popularity over the last couple of years (signed with Virgin.)

Anyway -- the lead singer, Karin Berquist, is angelic. Plus their music is very versatile (music for every emotion) AND concerts are relatively cheap!

I even have a guitar named after her -- i know, i'm sad.

gnort · 12-05-2003, 09:56 PM

What about Kittie?

An all girl metal band...ive never heard a girl growl like that before

Astrocloud · 12-06-2003, 12:25 PM

Anneke van Giersbergen

of "The Gathering"

Or perhaps Nina Persson of the Cardigans

(Solo stuff is great too!)

Bust_Action · 12-07-2003, 11:26 AM

I don't like female singers (or any singers in particular) that have to change their voice to show it off. My idea is - if your singing voice doesn't sound like your talking voice, your voice is a put on and you should shut the hell up. Notable examples include Christina Aguilara and Gwen Stefani. Notable examples of female singers who DO sing with their natural voice are Shirley Manson and Sarah McLachlan.

ADM · 12-07-2003, 11:35 AM

I think Christina Aguilera has a great voice.

. so much h8.

Anyway, Rasputina has great singers. THree girls with cellos!

forecheck · 12-07-2003, 03:28 PM

The Dido CDs are great to listen to while I work.

yes yes yes.. kittie fuckin rocks. She screams/growls/sings better than a lot of guy vocalists do. Plus add that they are all HOT and yeah they are one of my fav bands.

CS733t · 12-08-2003, 09:55 PM

I usually stay away from female lead singer/bands...but if I had to pick one, it'd be michelle branch.

taliendo · 12-08-2003, 10:37 PM

I forgot about the short stint of Veruca Salt too. They were a pretty great band, IMO.

doodah · 12-09-2003, 09:36 PM

brody armstrong of the distillers very good singer and beautiful

InTeGrA77 · 12-10-2003, 03:43 PM

i think christina aguilera has a beautiful voice, but she kinda ruins it when she bounces it all over the place in the songs she sings. i don't really like her music, but i think that shes very very talented!

siogo · 12-11-2003, 07:04 AM

Its gotta be Ann Wilson for me, also Eva Cassidy.
In the late 70s early 80s I saw a girl singer supporting Be-Bop Delux, she was called Jenny Darren she had a stormin voice.
Also a band I saw in the early 90s called The Mother Station, they were a sort of Survern 'Heart' I think they only made one album. Unless you know different?

sailor · 12-11-2003, 07:29 AM

Eva Cassidy. Quite possibly the best singer I have ever heard. Pick up her "Live at Blues Alley" CD, its incredible.

I also like Norah Jones.

glitter_kiss · 12-12-2003, 01:17 PM

i realy like miss kittin, shes probably my favorite singer at the moment either her or the singer from portishead

nukeu666 · 12-12-2003, 03:35 PM

i love:
shirly manson of garbage
tanj....of nightwish
Mariah Carey

singers not mentioned till now:
dolores o'riorden-cranberries
nina persson-cardigans
angela gossow-arch enemy

i've heard only 1 eva cassidy song till now and it was better than the original-"fly me to the moon"(frank sinatra)[ending theme of 'Neon Genesis Evangelion']

Chick from Otep can growl pretty good too.

gophersurf · 12-13-2003, 09:46 PM

There was a band called the Rednex.....they did the club hit "cotton-eye-joe," whoever the female in that group was, had the best voice I've heard. Anyone know who she is?

sartan · 12-25-2003, 05:43 PM

Yes, Amy Lee from Evanescence has a very good voice.

locoslomo · 12-25-2003, 09:05 PM

Gotta third Patty Griffin here...the new CD, Kiss in Time, is very nice, great quality recording.

dogzilla · 12-26-2003, 02:52 AM
