Female singers

(1/22) > >>

Rilian:
I was searching through the archives trying to find good bands whose lead songers are female, and I found a few bands, but I could find no posts dedicated to female vocalists.

I figured I'd ask for some recommends, and plus anyone else who's looking for female singers will hopefully be able to find something that they will like as well.

Here are female singers I currently listen to:
Nightwish
Queen Adreena
Sleater-Kinney
The Fiery Furnaces
Juliana Hatfield
Angelfish
Neko Case
Poe
Ella Fitzgerald

I'll listen to anything once, so feel free to recommend whatever you like

Please note that not all bands are female only singers, and I certainly don't have the time  or willpower to check which are, so don't expect to hear no male vocals.

Edit:See that big list up there. Ya, that one. That's the edit
Edit2: Now larger, and alphabetized.

ChibiSatan:
Arch Enemy (thier newer stuff like after Wages of Sin) has a crazy female vocalist.

La Creme:
Current ones I am digging:

Grace Slick (of Jefferson Airplane)
Gale Morran (on Chick Corea's "The Mad Hatter")
Carla Kihlstedt (of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum)
Patti Smith, as always

Also, I am now turning this into a revival of the "hot people in bands" thread with Carla Kihlstedt.

Gryff:
Two words: Deer Hoof

No wait… one word: Deerhoof

Also, Kathleen Edwards, Blondie, Bjork, Yeah Yeah Yeahs… um… Cat Power, The Breeders

soak:
all the Pixies stuff with Kim Deal singing is awesome
Emiliana Torini
Tori Amos
Love Outside Andromeda
Catatonia
Rilo Kiley
