goose Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Generally I don´t like female seingers very much, aside from a few selected tracks. But I just found out about Sia Furler, and she´s AMAZING!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By Tor Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I listen to more female singers these days and I`m shocked of how many are up there with my fav artists Kate Bush Joni Mitchell Sandy Denny Stevie Nicks P.J. Harvey Maria McKee Ann Wilson Karen Carpenter Patti Smith The Smoke Fairies Bjork Jane Weaver Janis Joplin Beth Hart Nina Persson Alanis Morrisette ( 90`s stuff ) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 For me two are head and shoulders above everyone else, Aretha and Ann Wilson. I also like Christine McVie, Pat Benetar, Carly Simon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mosher Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I'll list several, and they may make the cut for their perfect voice, or they may make the cut for their power, or perhaps for their character. Regardless, all of these work well for me: Polly Jean HarveyAnja HuweNatalie MerchantJoan JettKate PiersonBjork GudmundsdottirAni DiFrancoAnn WilsonDebbie HarryStevie NicksKim DealTexas TerriChrissie HyndeSiouxsie SiouxSuzanne VegaRegina Spektor Okay- I'm not close to done. I guess I should have trimmed further... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAccountant Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Tarja Turunnen (Nightwish)Sabine Edelsbacher (Edenbridge) Just to name a few. Totally agree with Tarja. Glad to see Sabine of Edenbridge getting the respect due to her. Totally agree. She definitely on my list as well. My list would also include: Grace SlickAnn WilsonDeborah HarryPat BenetarPatty Smyth from ScandalFloor from NightwishDoroCarole KingStevie NicksLita FordJoan JettCarly Simon Those are the ones that jump out anyway. With a little thought I am certain I could add more to my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I was VERY remiss for not mentioning Grace Slick. Incredible singer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormtron Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 BjorkAnn WilsonSiouxsie SiouxStevie NicksKate Pierson And way too many soul singers to mention, but I'll give a shout out to the criminally underrated Gwen McCrae. One of my current favorites is Mlny Parsonz from Royal Thunder. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6LkAljrU4E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghorn-leghorn Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Rhiannon Giddens. A former member of the wonderful Carolina Chocolate Drops, she sings various stylesof traditional music, and inserts a history lesson into her concerts. Despite being American, she can also sing in Gaelic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Gardner 9. Bonnie Tyler10. Patty Smyth If you want a very creative, crazily passionate and open minded female rock singer with NO boundaries...try In This Moment. Maria Brink is a real hero for many. I also recommend Within Temptation (try the album The Silent Force), and have you tried Dark Passion Play by Nightwish with Anette Olzon? Buddy, I think based on your likes here these two albums are good choices for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YYZumbi Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I love love LOVE Lita Ford! My 3rd favorite artist/band after Rush and Queen! I saw her live this summer and it was sooo great! And Im happy that a few have mentioned her in this thread! Oh and I also like the singer in the prog rock band called Magenta (dont remember her name). But she got a really good voice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
