Best Female rock singer ?

[Supafly]

Ann Wilson.

 

[Ray Ecks]

Shirley Manson. I also considered voting for Amy Lee.

 

[tiger1977]

No Pat Benatar?

That's what I was wondering.

 

[BigSwede]

They ain't ROCK singers !

Yes,but you were only reacting to those who mention metal singers.

Courteny love.
Her work was good enough to stand on it's own, she wasn't just riding hubbies wake...

i do like much of holes work but your wrong.

she tried to use billy corgan as her ladder to success but he dumped her.
the same exact day she found cobain, fucked him and within a month they were married.

without cobain she wouldnt have got famous, plus he wrote a lot of the big songs as did corgan also

 

[Jagger69]

No Ann Wilson, Grace Slick or Pat Benatar? :dunno::wtf:

I hereby declare this poll null and void regardless of the final results. :1orglaugh

Janis Joplin's voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me....never could stand her. Of the choices on the list, I voted Amy Lee but she ain't the best.

 

[STDiva]

Emily Haines of Metric



Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

 

[Elwood70]

I have trouble comprehending "Courtney Love" and "Diva" in the same sentence.Aren't Divas supposed to have class?

 

[Bloodshot Scott]

I have trouble comprehending "Courtney Love" and "Diva" in the same sentence.Aren't divas supposed to have class?

I don't know. Whitney Houston is a junky like Courtney. Janis OD'd.

But yeah, Courtney Love I don't see as one of the greatest.

This poll is about Rock singers, not Metal singers.

So whats Amy Lee doing in there then if this is about Rock singers? Amys from the Metal band, Evanescence

I voted for Amy btw



& a passing mention for Sharon Den Adel from Within Temptation, she has a fantastic voice too

 

[Baill Inneraora]

Chrissie Hynde

 

[Ulysses31]

Amy Lee from the list, I don't know of many others but here are some not on the list that deserve a mention for their strong voices. ps They are categorised as Rock on Wikipedia whether the OP deems them to be in his interpretation of rock is another matter.


Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil



Lacey Sturm of Flyleaf



Marie Fredriksson of Roxette



Melora Creager of Rasputina



Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles



Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics



Sandra Nasic of the Guano Apes



Beth Torbert of Bif Naked



Dirty Harry



Avril Lavigne?


Sharleen Spiteri of Texas?

Good one Jagger - Grace Slick - Jefferson Airplane and Jefferson Starship. I forgot all about her.

And no Cass Elliott, Michelle Phillips...

Hey about Courtney Love, I guess you're right -- not a diva -- but heck I couldn't remember any ladies from the nineties.

Cindy Lauper?

Yes, and Patti Smith and Annie Lennox were fantastic.

 

[meesterperfect]

I also like a lot of female vocalists from the 80's.
love that style of singing from girls.

Aimee Mann (pretty as hell too}


Nena and her sexy accent


Dale Bozzio from Zappa sell outs Missing Persons


Belinda Carlisle - Go Go's

 

[YMIHERE]

Merry Clayton sole on Gimme Shelter. At one point she stays on tune when her voice cracks. The video isolates the vocal track.
Starts at 2:33.



:banger:

 

[John_8581]

So you have no problems with Barbara Streisand and Whitney Houston? :dunno:
