Female fronted rock bands

[speedyquad]

We all know Ann Wilson of Heart has a killer voice...and then you have Fleetwood Mac...now who are some of your favorite female fronted groups, i'd prefer to hear of some that are not mainstream or well known, but don't not mention them either...


I'll start off with Stars In Stereo. the female is Bec Holcraft. amazing voice from someone who is under 5' tall. I saw her them live last year and they are better live. The covered Aerosmith's "Dream On" and it was the only time that vocals gave me goosbumps. And she is pretty nice to look at to! I hope to catch them again this year...

i like Pink actually...she don't fit the mold of the music that she makes. I hate "pop" music, but Pink has a killer voice and makes that style enjoyable...

Chrissie Hinde is a classic also...

A little more towards being popular and this girl has covered heart and nailed it...

I'm going with Stevie.
She's one of America's greatest song writers too!

EDIT - I guess I missed the "rock band" part. LOL. This is still good stuff.....


I listen to about everything except jazz and opera. I still like the old classic rock and some of the newer stuff that my kids play. BUT, if you are talking about female vocalists, other mellower stuff works.

If you haven't heard Haley Westenra, you gotta listen to these. IMO, she has one of the nicest voices I've ever heard.

If you haven't heard Celtic Woman, you need to check it out as well. It's a group of women that do several live performances.

NOT EXACTLY MY CUP OF TEA

But she made GAGA look like an introverted plain Jane, WENDY O WILLIAMS/ THE PLASMATICS. Search the term butterface, it has her picture.

Til Tuesday

Big Amy Mann fan. I like several of her solo albums as well as all of the Til Tuesday albums. Some of her solo stuff was a little "unique".

 

[Malpasowildlifer]

Blondie, Patty Smyth, Iron Maidens (tribute group)

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Here in the land of enchantment we have an all lesbian blues band called Uncle Irene. They are from Aztec, New Mexico and they are good.

+1 to Matt! Chrissie singing "I'll Stand By You"...one of my all time favorites. Also, Evanescence, Amy Lee out front. Not my usual style of music, but it speaks to me.

Lacuna Coil has always been one of my favs.
