03.31.11 | 7 rules. Jenny Lewis is amazing. |
balcaen
03.31.11 | good call. though she's not really my favorite part of bomb the music industry! |
balcaen
03.31.11 | @Trebor17 she's the most interesting part of the yeah yeah yeahs. otherwise boring band though. wouldn't say she saves them from that. |

03.31.11 | bjork>* imo, i really like the girl from beach house too. glasser is nice to see on here |
balcaen
03.31.11 | imogen heap (other than her work with frou frou) and regina spektor are both women who make me want to claw my ears out.
@Jruined i have yet to check out The Gathering. her bits with Ayreon are kind of cool though. |
Trebor17
03.31.11 | Craig Owens? |

03.31.11 | karen o sucks |
balcaen
03.31.11 | LOL craig owens
@vmcoia91 damn! her and the girl from slowdive. fuck. |
Masochist
03.31.11 | balcaen - Have you ever heard the album 'Addicted' by Devin Townsend? Anneke van is on every single song on that album, and she's damn amazing.
Also, I know it's a bit cliche (especially on Sputnik), but there's no denying that Hayley Williams has a phenomenal voice. |
Jruined
03.31.11 | @Balcaen, I don't really care for Ayreon at all. I like quite a bit of her Gathering stuff, but it's the shit she does on Addicted that I like the best. Apparently she's doing work with Robert Fripp which I'm really interested in. |
Samshine
03.31.11 | Sooo happy you put 20 on here.
As for oldies, Edith Piaf with always have a special spot for me. |
Jruined
03.31.11 | Hell yeah, Edith Piaf is fantastic. |

TMobotron
03.31.11 | kathy from ctts is awesome, and along those same lines the girl from unexpect is great too |
Masochist
03.31.11 | Also, I can't believe I forgot to mention Belinda Butcher of My Bloody Valentine. Granted, I don't know what she actually sings, but her voice has soothed me to sleep an innumerable amount of times. |
Jruined
03.31.11 | Agree with Unnamed.... Fitzgerald, Holiday, Etta Jones, etc.... |
balcaen
03.31.11 | @Masochist i'd say she's talented, but she's really not singing in a genre to fit her voice. arrgh.
if we're going oldies (pre-2000s, anyway) i'd put a bunch more on there. doris day, mariah carey, ella fitzgerald, sinead o'connor, janis joplin... |
TMobotron
03.31.11 | the girl who sings in arcade fire is good. i like the tracks she sings on more than the dude |
Hawks
03.31.11 | 1 is so fucking good. |
burntsugar
03.31.11 | I like the voice of the girl who sings (and screams) in Obscure Sphinx. |

03.31.11 | The chick from Trespassers William slays, as well as the chick in Sleepingdog.

03.31.11 | =) --> i'm a huge sucker for that crazy mesmerizing trip-hop voice (elizabeth fraser, martina topley-
bird) |
qwe3
03.31.11 | needs more cranberries and trespassers william |
Chrisjon89
03.31.11 | 6, 9 and 20 rule. I also like Joanna Newsom, Bat for Lashes, Joni Mitchell, Lisa Mitchell, Lykke Li, Feist, Sarah Blasko, St Vincent, the singer from Wildbirds & Peacedrums (Mariam?), Kate Bush, the vocal harmony stylings of the Andrews Sisters, Corinne Bailey Rae, Emiliana Torrini, Erykah Badu and Laura Marling.
These women all rule to varying degrees, but I get the feeling you wouldn't enjoy many of them based on the whole clawing ears out thing.
Also, Deborah Harry is incredibly attractive and if I had a time machine I'd go back to the set of the Rapture video, pull some strings and land the role of the dude in the white suit with the top hat. |

North0House2
03.31.11 | Yeah 1. Harris is so good, holy crap.
But yeah, I tend to hate female vocals. I found a band the other day that had female vocals that I actually liked... I forgot what they were though.
True Widow has a female in their band, and she sings on a few songs. I'd say she's pretty dang good. She just has a good shoegaze voice. |
FadeToBlack
03.31.11 | i hate female vocals cos i like dicks in my anal cavity |
shakethatbearfight
03.31.11 | Umm just a few:

03.31.11 | Kim Gordon is one of my favorites for some reason. |
shakethatbearfight
03.31.11 | Yeah, a couple I listed were already, but they are the ones I think of being "good" imo. Also Shirley Manson from Garbage ruled, especially growing up. |
balcaen
03.31.11 | can't stand lykke li, not a big fan of karen o.
joanna newsom is interesting but she sounds like bjork on meth |
SlightlyEpic
03.31.11 | the girl from Carissa's Wierd is rad, I wish she sang all their songs |

05.02.11 | and in response to a few other posts I read on here.... HELL NO to mariah carey, lykke li, Sarah McLachlin, & Amanda Palmer. (I liked Amanda's ok when I first heard it years ago, then I found out it was a lady singing, not a dude. And it's never been the same for me..) |
