Besides ones that have been said... Lisa Gerrard?

/shifty eyes

Patti Smith

That's it.

i suck at singing but i play guitar :lol:

Iron Maiden. I think "2 Minutes to Midnight" would sound cool with female vocals, and plus they have "Maiden" right in their name there! Think about it!

[QUOTE=morrissey]On the whole I don't like girl performers. There are the odd expections (like Metric and Stars, both of whom I know you're familiar with) but mostly I avoid girls in music, unless it's pop. I don't even like most of the SY songs where Kim Gordon sings. :\[/QUOTE]

yeh. theyre ok as band members but im not really into girl singers.

Patti
****ing
Smith

It's gotta be the one and only Susie Patten!

[QUOTE=Tapeworm]It's gotta be the one and only Susie Patten![/QUOTE]
Ooohhhhh yeah!

Check out The Pretenders. They were an American new wave band with a female vocalist, Chrissie Hynde. Good stuff.

Also, my avatar is a great female singer :cool:

[QUOTE=morrissey]And I forgot to mention Blondie, I love Blondie. Try "Heart of Glass".[/QUOTE]

I figured you'd like Blondie.

So, a little update, i checked a lot of the bands in this thread and had fun doing so. The girl we're talking about disliked everything and is probably going with Michelle Branch or something. I'd probably just have to play acoustic or something. It's gonna be ghey.

What a sh[size=2]i[/size]tty way for this to turn out!

[QUOTE=JonM]What a sh[size=2]i[/size]tty way for this to turn out![/QUOTE]

A lot of people in the world aren't cool like us Alt/Indie'ers. :(

There's this band called My Precious from...errr...Malaysia I think? Not exactly sure. But they have duelling female vocalists. Pretty awesome stuff.

The Organ..

oh yeah remember he said bands leik Metric.. INDIE not Arch Enemy and punk Distillers.. Good bands tho but not them, theyre not indie

Just in case she hasn't been mentioned yet (I only read the last page.)

Ani DiFranco. The name popped straight into my head when I read the thread title.

Auf Der Maur is so boring, her writing so amateurish, sure shes a good singer / musician but writing an album almost alone...big mistake

Listen to Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane

Not rocking, but still awesome :)

[QUOTE=Phototropic]Auf Der Maur is so boring, her writing so amateurish, sure shes a good singer / musician but writing an album almost alone...big mistake[/QUOTE]Yeah, I wasn't impressed with that at all. I know Billy Corgan's helping her out with the second album so hopefully it will be a lot better.

Bilinda Butcher of My Bloody Valentine and Emma Pollock of The Delgados are also honorable ones.
