Many don't like female singer's but yes because I am a chick I think it's empowering, so currently I've been into Flyfleaf and Paramore...anyone feel me?

    The BEST band in the world with a female singer right now is this one...

    Flyleaf is alright but I don't like Paramore.

    I'm a fan of Pretty Girls Make Graves (their first album is brilliant):

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I'd also recommend Viva Voce. Anita Robinson is the best female guitar player I have ever seen, and she can sing as well.
    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    Hayley from Paramore is the cuteness.
  • intodeepintodeep Posts: 7,228
    I'm not familar with the two orginal female singers but i like a lot of female singers and bands:

    Neko Case
    Cat Power
    Pretty Girls Make Graves
    Rilo Kiley

    And i'm sure their are plenty others in my collection too those just seem to be my favs of the moment.

    That's more like it.

    I'm not interested in insulting anyone's musical taste - I'm just bummed when people state that they don't like many female singers.

    A couple more I enjoy:

    Kathleen Edwards
    Tori Amos
    Aimee Mann
    PJ Harvey
    Juliana Hatfield
    Gillian Welch
    Alison Krauss
    Jenny Lewis (Yes, she's the singer for Rilo Kiley, but I love her solo album)

    That should cover a fairly wide range of styles. I cant imagine listeners wouldn't like at least one of them.

    .

    I've been meaning to check out more of her stuff. I saw her open for My Morning Jacket and her set was very cool.

    Here is a cool video of Jenny Lewis recording on the show Pancake Mountain:

    Tori and PJ are amazing....not quite superhuman like Bjork, but close.

    Some good female artists have been mentioned here for you to check out. I can also recommend Tori and PJ Harvey, they are phenomenal. Haven't lucked out and seen PJ live, but I saw Tori twice this last tour, and she was outstanding. Do not miss seeing her live.

    Also, check out some already mentioned like Neko Case (and the New Pornographers), Cat Power, etc. Feist is good. Check out Billie Holiday, Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Lucinda Williams, Heartless Bastards, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Rilo Kiley (or Jenny Lewis's solo work for that matter), Bikini Kill, 7 Year Bitch, L7, Mary Timony (or Helium), Juliana Hatfield's first album, Sonic Youth, Morcheeba's 1st 2 albums with Skye Edwards, Bebel Gilberto, Beth Orton, Anoushka Shankar, Throwing Muses (or any solo Kristen Hersh solo album) just to name a few.

    Nice list! I forgot about Beth Orton and Lucinda Williams.

    And then there's Regina Spektor - I've had Begin to Hope for about a year, but I just got around to ordering Soviet Kitsch recently. It just arrived in the mail today - I'll give it a listen shortly in honor of all the talents women listed in this thread.:)

    heh same here, i've met flyleaf like 5 times, and lacey recognizes me when she sees me, pretty cool considering how many people they must meet.

    Great band, great ppl in the band, great message, but they need another album pronto (you can't rerelease the first one a 3rd time)
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    Shutterbug is my favorite Veruca Salt song.


    For female-fronted bands, also try Guano Apes.

    Have you checked out be your own pet?

    Not exactly my thing.. in fact i did not like them at all but they are fronted by a young female lead singer and they make punk rockish sounding music. Perhaps you may like them more then i did.

    I Love Female Fronted rock Bands, i wish there were more of them, however i really dont favor Paramore, theyre alittle too poppy for me
    Flylleaf are okay!

    i really love bands that have a male and female lead singer and harmonize. thats greatness

    I'm a fan! Like I said in my earlier post, I just received Soviet Kitsch yesterday. I'm loving it! Much better than Begin to Hope, in my opinion.
