[bert]

Goodness. . you left out a couple of the best:

Joan Jett (rectified by someone else listing her)

Doro Pesch (Warlock)

[Ziggy Stardust]

[Deathstroke]

This is why Bert rocks!

He knows my own personal Metal Goddess is tops!

DORO PESCH!!!

[Catman_3]

Ann Wilson has always been my personal fave female rock vocalist.

[Slam_Bradley]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0YGrj2A0Q4&feature=related


I could not list her because I've never heard of her.

[DubipR]

All great vocalists, but lately I've been on a late 60s/early 70s folk kick and just love Sandy Denny's voice.

Also (without repeating, so I'll add a few I enjoy):
Beth Gibbons (Portishead)
Sarah Cracknell (St. Eitenne)
Shirley Bassey
Cat Power

[Athena Bast]

Bif Naked

Bif Naked

[howyadoin]

Shirley BasseyWhen did she do a rock album?

Bif Naked

http://www.musictimes.com.au/images/bif-naked.jpgSecond that. Melissa Auf der Mar should be mentioned, too.

[pariah-1972]

Was Melissa's solo album any good Howya?

[howyadoin]

Was Melissa's solo album any good Howya?Oh yeah. Way ahead of any of the Hole or Pumpkins stuff she played on.

[jdwrocks]

Hard rock, Pat Benatar is the Queen. Perfect voice for rock-n-roll.

My new favorite is Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Sorry Howyadoin, I know she annoys you, but I love her voice.

[howyadoin]

My new favorite is Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Sorry Howyadoin, I know she annoys you, but I love her voice.You can keep it. Listening to her yelp and stutter makes my ears bleed.

[Shellhead]

Some good picks in this thread, except for Stevie Nicks. I rate her voice one notch above "fingernails across the chalkboard." Sorry.

[beetlebum]

From Latin America:

Ximena Sariñana.

Great jazz vocalist who does alternative rock.

Ana Carolina.

One of Brazil's biggest singer-songwriters.

And arguably, its most sexiest.

Samples:

[jessecuster3]

Elyse Rogers and Karina Denike of the Dance Hall Crashers, definitely.

[jesse_custer]

Fiona Apple and Liz Phair [sticking to Exile in Guyville exclusively].

[Chiasm]

Sharon Den Adel - Within Temptation
Christina Scabbia - Lacuna Coil
Chibi - The Birthday Massacre
Imogen Heap - Frou Frou
Toni Halliday - Curve

[robbieglenn]

Although she has been mentioned, theres only one for me:

http://www.mtv.com/news/photos/r/rocknroll_hall_of_fame_2008/flip_031108/joan_jett.jpg

[pariah-1972]

I'm surprised noone has mentioned Grace Slick...

[Indigo Al]

Are we talking just vocal prowess, not "hawtness" or presence as a band fronstwoman?

Of those mentioned, I will second:

Pat Benetar
Fiona Apple, I guess?
Stevie Nicks
Ann Wilson
Christine McVie
Tina Turner
Big Mama Thornton
Patti Smith - and I've seen her in concert very recently - believe me, in her 60's that woman can belt out her poetry like no one ...


And add:
Nina Hagen - yeah, she relies on cartoony voice gimmicks, but when she puts her opera training to work, it's awesome.

[howyadoin]

Although she has been mentioned, theres only one for me:

http://www.mtv.com/news/photos/r/rocknroll_hall_of_fame_2008/flip_031108/joan_jett.jpgIf you gotta pick one, she's definitely it.

[Jonathan Bogart]

You guys are going to laugh, but I'm going to say Pink.

No, seriously, her most recent album is really good, much more rock than dance-pop or whatever you think she does, and even if you're allergic to programmed beats there's meaty guitars which she matches with a nice whiskey howl.

Okay, to win back some credibility:

Dagmar Krause, Marianne Faithfull, Siouxsie Sioux, Debbie Harry (when she felt like it), Polly Styrene, Lydia Lunch, Danielle Dax, and you know what? Courtney Love too.

And shes sexxy as hell too.

[Indigo Al]

You guys are going to laugh, but I'm going to say Pink.
..... a nice whiskey howl.

No argument there at all

Debbie Harry (when she felt like it)

I'm a very, very devoted fan - but I've of late come to the conclusion that she's kind of a weak vocalist, and her best moments were highly produced.

Polly Styrene

I would say so too.

Courtney Love

And speaking of a voice needing lots of production --- but her "howl" is pretty mighty.

[mgs]

shesh. . still, how can you not list Doro as one of the greats?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmnVNxEmBn4
she seems like a cross of a young Lita Ford crossed with a young Stevie Nicks! O.o

I know, these are light voices but I'd add:

Annie Danielewski, aka, Poe &

Avril Levigne

Great singers imo, even if they are not really hard rockers.

[howyadoin]

Avril Levigne

Great singers imo, even if they are not really hard rockers.Seriously? She can barely sing at all, much less sing rock 'n' roll.

[Shellhead]

...and you know what? Courtney Love too.

I will back you up on that. I'm not a big fan of hers, but I saw her at concert in the mid-90s where Hole was the top of the bill. (I was there to see my favorite band at that time, dada). The Target Center is a bad place to see concerts, due to lousy acoustics, and most of the bands that day struggled with it. The only stuff that went over well was dada and also Courtney Love's vocals. She had (has?) a strong, clear voice with a good range and surprising control for such a mess of a human being.

[mgs]

Seriously? She can barely sing at all, much less sing rock 'n' roll.
yeah, i think she's got talent. sure, not the best singer I've ever heard, but a good, solid voice, particularly listening to some of her live concerts, where she is actually singing, you can tell she knows how to belt out a tune, unlike a lot of the ex-teeny boppers.

And that plus the fact that she can actually play instruments I guess skews my opinions on her. :smile:

[pariah-1972]

I'm always disappointed in Hole's music unless it's a cover song, which makes me think there's a fault in the songwriting department more than anything.
i bought Celebrity Skin and i thought it was pretty telling that they had a map key to show who wrote what song.

[Indigo Al]

The end result on Celebrity Skin was pretty good, so I don't really care who wrote what.

[Punchy]

If you gotta pick one, she's definitely it.Surprised you didn't mention Brody Dalle.

[Aubergine~!]

Might've been mentioned, as I can't recall their names, but the frontwomen of Bikini Kill & Guano Apes deserve a mention.

[howyadoin]

Surprised you didn't mention Brody Dalle.So am I, come to think of it. She's practically the epitome of rock 'n' roll herself.

[The Black Guardian]

No mention of Cyndi Lauper yet? Hmph!

[pariah-1972]

No mention of Cyndi Lauper yet? Hmph!Probably because people think of her as more of a pop star..

[Magnificent Bastard]

Bah! Here is a female that can really SING. Behold the power and glory that is Amanda Marshall http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAFRnsf3UCo

[Ottmeister X]

I'm surprised noone has mentioned Grace Slick...

White Rabbit is one of my favs by a female rocker.

I concur with the Joan Jett sentiment.

[Infinity Man]

Polly Jean Harvey

[Shellhead]

Christina Scabbia - Lacuna Coil


Yeah, she has a great combination of power and control. I wonder if she was trained for opera?

[oscarwildebeest]

Coryn Tucker, of Sleater-Kinney. When she lets loose... just damn. Wrath of the fucking righteous.

[pariah-1972]

I am heartened to see that noone has mentioned Alanis Morrisette:evilsmile:

[oscarwildebeest]

I am heartened to see that noone has mentioned Alanis Morrisette:evilsmile:

But you did. Isn't it ironic... don'cha think?

[Zero Hunter]

Elyse Rogers and Karina Denike of the Dance Hall Crashers, definitely.

I agree with that.

[Punchy]

What do you guys think about that chick from Paramore?

[oscarwildebeest]

What do you guys think about that chick from Paramore?

Her vocals? Blandly competent.

Her band? Utterly risible.

[pariah-1972]

What do you guys think about that chick from Paramore?They are not to bad considering the current climate of rock music.

[Chiasm]

Yeah, she has a great combination of power and control. I wonder if she was trained for opera?

I read somewhere that she claims to have had absolutely no musical training at all prior to joining the band. Now if LC would just let her handle all the vocals instead of ruining half their songs by letting the guy, Andrea, sing lead or co lead.

[bigbluntz]

Four pages and noone has mentioned Kim :eek:

So I'm gonna make my post for the Deal twins. Kelley & Kim :biggrin:

Kim is awesome !! Easily one of my favs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd7ILa_mhgA

Not to be left out though Kelley is even better I think.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0rE-7eTx-A

:cool:

[DonC]

I don't have any of their albums, but the lady from Coheed and Cambria isn't bad.

The only lady I would add to the list is Annete Olzon.

I also like a band called Vainglory (http://www.myspace.com/vainglorymetal) that played Dragon*Con a couple years back, but I wouldn't consider Kate French great.

[invisiboy]

Some of the best female rockers ...

Kate Bush
Pat Benatar
Joan Jett
Ann Wilson
Nancy Wilson
Stevie Nicks
Aimee Mann
Tori Amos
Fiona Apple
Pink
Janis Joplin (duh!)
Melissa Etheridge
Also, back in the '70s, Bette Midler recorded some awesome rock albums.

[Jonathan Bogart]

Also, back in the '70s, Bette Midler recorded some awesome rock albums.
Mm. It was always rock-as-theater, though, not much different from Jesus Christ Superstar or whatever. I wouldn't call her a rock singer, but a showbiz singer who can use rock techniques as needed. (Which might arguably make her better than rock singers who have a more limited range; but I'm not making that argument.)

[Plex]

Currently I've been getting into Emilie Autumn

But I also really like:

Siouxsie
Monica Richards (Faith and the Muse)
Mary Fahl (October Project)
Tina Root (Switchblade Symphony)
Amy Lee (Evanescence)
Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins)
Summer Bowman (the Machine in the Garden)

I know there are others but I'll stop for now.

[Chiasm]

The only lady I would add to the list is Annete Olzon.



I forgot about her. I much prefer her to Tarja.

[invisiboy]

David Bowie also did "rock as theater" but he certainly is a rock singer. I'd put Bette Midler in the same category. In the '70s, she was actually innovative and progresssive.

[Don't pee in the (Dead)pool]

Y'know, having read the whole thread, I can't believe no one's mentioned the following:

Belinda Carlisle
Juliette Lewis
Shirley Manson
Karen O

[pariah-1972]

Has anyone mentioned Karen Carpenter? granted calling her a rocker is a stretch but still amazing voice that's smooth as butter.

[DonC]

Karen Carpenter and food. There's something you don't see in the same sentence very often.

[pariah-1972]

Karen Carpenter and food. There's something you don't see in the same sentence very often.Oh my god that's the funniest thing i have heard all day !


Should i quote that? hmmm

[billyzoom666]

Exene Cervenka from X

[Don't pee in the (Dead)pool]

I always liked Lita Ford back in the day.

[Slackjaws_ate_my_brain]

Exene Cervenka from X

Man, how could I forget Exene?!?!?! Seriously, she has a great voice and even stronger stage presence (though, admitedly, most of my favorite X tunes didn't feature her on main vocals)

[billyzoom666]

She's almost stronger in the way her harmonies kind of warble with John then she is singing lead. Did you hear she has MS? I don't know if we'll see anymore X shows.

[Slackjaws_ate_my_brain]

I didn't know that, that really sucks. I saw'em live a few years back when they were touring with matt from rancid on bass and it was a fantastic show.

[howyadoin]

She's almost stronger in the way her harmonies kind of warble with John then she is singing lead. Did you hear she has MS? I don't know if we'll see anymore X shows.Fuck, that's not cool. At all.

[Thadeus Thunderwinkle]

Joan Jett
Angela Gossow
Rindy Ross (Quarterflash)
Tori Amos

I think I have all forms of rock covered...

[pariah-1972]

I really like Michelle's Branch's voice it's very sweet.

[SlightlyMad]

Tori Amos


I would class Tori as more pop than rock. I was fortunate enough to see her live in concert a couple of months back & she is awesome.

You guys are going to laugh, but I'm going to say Pink.

No, seriously, her most recent album is really good, much more rock than dance-pop or whatever you think she does, and even if you're allergic to programmed beats there's meaty guitars which she matches with a nice whiskey howl.


Just got the Funhouse Tour: Live in Australia CD + DVD in which, in addition to her own songs, she sings: Highway to Hell, Babe I'm Gonna Leave You & Bohemian Rhapsody! Anyone (girl or boy) who can take on songs built for the vocals of Robert Plant & Freddie Mercury (which she does with gusto) is most definitely a rock vocalist of merit!

[Trixie_Static]

Beki Bondage, Lia (Vice Squad Shot Away, Otep Shamaya, Donita Sparks, Kathleen Hanna
anyone?

[Greg Anderson]

Love Gwen Stefani when she's with No Doubt, specifically the Tragic Kingdom/Return of Saturn when they were more of a rock band though I do like them branching out.

Courtney Love I have a huge soft spot for the Live Thru This album. Man, can she belt! :eek: Gutless is an example.

[pariah-1972]

Has anyone mentioned Natalie merchant?

[berk]

Forgot to mention Koko Taylor forst time around - if she counts as a rocker. She's more of a blues/r&b singer really, I suppose.

I love Kate Bush but wouldn't consider her a rock singer at all.

The Muffs, whose lead singer/guitar player/songwriter Kim Shattuck I mentioned earlier, are rumoured to have a new album coming out soon. First one in years.

[nervmeister]

I heard Wendy O. Williams was pretty good.

[tangentman]

I won't repeat the numerous worthy ladies y'all already mentioned!

Instead, I add:

Kate Pierson & Cindy Wilson (The B-52's)
Skin (Skunk Anansie)
Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth)
Annie Lennox (Eurythmics)
Kristin Hersh (Throwing Muses)
Johnette Napolitano (Concrete Blonde)

[pariah-1972]

Does anyone know who Lissie is? i've watched some you tube stuff from her and her voice is just "-----"beautiful and epic but soft i don't know.

i like how un-tamed she is by modern music standards she seems very raw and fresh which makes her more endearing to my eyes.

[countryfan2004]

Has anyone mentioned Natalie merchant?

I love Natalie Merchant, especially her recent folk-heavy albums. They're really strong in the vocal department.

Florence Welch, of Florence + the Machines
Shara Worden, of My Brightest Diamond
Brandi Carlile (the heartbreak and clarity of Patsy Cline with the power of Heart or Melissa Ethridge)
Amy MacDonald (such a powerful voice for such a young lady, Scottish can rock it out)
Dolores O'Riordan, of The Cranberries

[doolbnoom]

did any mention Wendy O. Williams?

a topless babe chainsawing cars and exploding said vehicles while singing such classics as "sex junkie" and "a pig is a pig".

glory!

Holy crap! I went and looked based on your post and Babe I'm Gonna Leave You was awesome. I've always had some respect for Pink and liked some of her songs since she actually sings and has shown she isn't the manufactured star she first appeared to be but this cover was just plain awesome.

For everyone else, here it is.

Allow me to apologize for beating you to it on the last page. Anyways, yeah. She's a legend.

[pariah-1972]

I love Natalie Merchant, especially her recent folk-heavy albums. They're really strong in the vocal department.
I kind of lost touch with her after her first solo album but i miss the sound of her voice cause it has a different quality than other female singers of her genre.

[keilthetarheel]

If were are talking about true "rocker" vocalists - then there is Lita Ford, Joan Jett, and then a big drop-off from there

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

PJ Harvey
Syd Straw
Jenny Lewis (I skew slightly more towards her solo material than Rilo Kiley)
Kim Deal

[doolbnoom]

Allow me to apologize for beating you to it on the last page. Anyways, yeah. She's a legend.

you're forgiven. anyone who knows her is cool in my book.

after her would be mia zapata- she was already mentioned but talking about wendy o. and zapata is talkin' 'bout chicks who could sing well, drink you under a table, and kick yer arse! hiyo!

[Melanieshaman]

Goodness. . you left out a couple of the best:

Joan Jett (rectified by someone else listing her)

Doro Pesch (Warlock)

Yay Doro!

and can I add Christina Scabbia

[tangentman]

Yay Doro!

and can I add Christina Scabbia

Lacuna Coil's female lead already showed up once or twice! Amazing vocalist--and, to an earlier question, YES, I believe she's indeed classically trained!

[Indigo Al]

I heard Wendy O. Williams was pretty good.

Hail the Queen of Shock Rock! Now, I can't quite say her vocals were great.

But that righteous, awesome video for "The Damned".....

Now then, I've also been laboring under a huge enamorment of Maria McKee's Lone Justice work - especially the Shelter album....

[Justin K.]

Mary Timmony has grown on me. She reminds me of early Liz Phair.

[warspite1805]

There are loads, my personal favourite is Floor Jansen (ReVamp, ex-After Forever).

Others of note are
Anneke van Giersbergen - The Gathering
Doro - Doro
Liv Kristine - Leaves Eyes
Lisa Middelhauve - Xandria
Charlotte Wessels - Delain
Sandra Schleret & Sabine Dünser - Elis
Simone Simons - Epica
Jonsu - Indica
Sonya Scarlet - Theatre Des Vampires
Christina Scabia - Lacuna Coil
Emilie Autumn
Fabienne Gondamin, Henriette Bordvik, Monika Pedersen & Ailyn - Sirenia
Vibeke Stene - Tristania

[Justin K.]

How could I forget about Lacuna Coil!? >_<

[Chiasm]

Having been one of the first, if not the first, to mention Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil I'm going to now put myself out there to be mocked and say I kind of like Katy Perry. I've loved her song Circle the Drain for sometime now which is shockingly hard rock compared to most of her other stuff. And then for the first time this morning I heard her song E.T. when I saw the video and while the Kanye parts utterly ruin the song I quickly discovered that he was added in a remix and I'm now enjoying the original Kanyeless version and liking it.

[Chiasm]

And for those who might care, Within Temptation's new album came out last week and is very good. Sharon Den Adel is the lead singer and has been mentioned in this thread.

[Indigo Al]

And for those who might care, Within Temptation's new album came out last week and is very good. Sharon Den Adel is the lead singer and has been mentioned in this thread.

It's pretty darn incredible, isn't it? I'm loving it!

Having been one of the first, if not the first, to mention Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil I'm going to now put myself out there to be mocked and say I kind of like Katy Perry. I've loved her song Circle the Drain for sometime now which is shockingly hard rock compared to most of her other stuff.Considering that most of her other stuff isn't rock at all, that ain't sayin' much.
