Female rock singers

[phlogiston]

The Donnas!

And if you're looking at indie rock too, then PJ Harvey and Liz Phair.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Amy Lee?
Christina Scabbia?

 

[Wrathchild]

Spiff, how could you of all people not mention Susannah Hoffs?

Metal and 'ard rawk wise, how about Doro, Kimberly Goss and Melissa Auf De Maur?

Or if you're after something a tad mellower, Patti Smith, Kate Bush, Suzanne Vega and Tori Amos.

I also really like Michelle Branch for some reason, though I haven't quite worked up the nerve to buy one of her albums yet. If I did, it would most likely be Hotel Paper.

Tania Donelly

 

[Connie Fixx]

Lee Aaron, Janet Gardner(Vixen), the girls from Cycle Sluts From Hell, Sally Cato(Smashed Gladys), Lorraine Lewis(Femme Fatale) and Patty Smyth(Scandal)

Spiff, how could you of all people not mention Susannah Hoffs?

I was gonna put her in but decided not to because she doesn't have much grunt. I never really thought of The Bangles as a rock band anyway.

Rock singing is all about the grunt, people.

 

[KoichCPA]

Sarah Mcleod, hands down.

She is hot and she has the awesome husky voice thing going that sends my nuts crazy.

 

[mattt]

did the Superjesus split up or something or is she just doing a solo album on the side?

 

[KoichCPA]

I'm honestly not sure.

I keep meaning to buy her album but I forget everytime I am in JB

 

[Goreripper]

I think the Superjesus split. McLeod was the only thing keeping them on their label once Chris Tennant left and took his songwriting with him. I realise they made two albums without him, but that was at least one too many.

But I do agree with Josh. Sarah McLeod has exactly the right rock chick voice.

 

[Winmar]

Yeah she's good. I don't listen to them, but don't mind their stuff. Her attractiveness is just a bonus.

 

[The Amazer]

Liv Kristine. One of the few bird voices I can tolerate.

Oh, and another vote for Pat Benatar.

 

[BlindGuardianKill]

Amanda Marshall, Tori Amos, Ann Wilson, Lisa Dalbello, Anneke Van Giersbergen (Gathering), Lee Aaron, Patty Smyth.

 

[Winmar]

If I ever have to hear the song "All Fired Up" again in my life I'm going to scream.

 

[Moon Childagain]

The Baby Animals were awesome. Suze I think is one of the best around. What is she doing now?

 

[Wrathchild]

Cranking out kids with Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme, isn't she? She did a solo record (Telelove) after The Baby Animals split up, but I think it had a negative print run. Pity that such a good voice went to waste.
