The Listening - Lights.. A little poppy, but the tunes themselves are good.
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 think she's really good... i once saw this live performance of hers quite a while back, with interviews of her, and in that particular performance she was singing these old Irish tunes... inlcuding this one killer song, which also features in Gangs of New York, but of which i don't know the name... lyrics go somethin like "when we got to Yankee land, they put guns into our hands... said st patty won't you go and fight for lincoln" ... rocker stuff..
annie lennox, cyndi lauper, tracy chapman and wife of ritchie blackmore of deep purple... she's done some kickass stuff with him... the cranberries too... among others

I had a similar realization about 2 years ago that I had practically no female singers in my collection. PJ Harvey has definitely become a favorite of mine.
Amy Winehouse - Back In Black is amazing no matter how screwed up she is
Bjork - like a female Thom Yorke
Cat Power - Cat came first, but if you like Amy Winehouse check her out too.
Fiona Apple
Garbage
Lamb - industrial/electronic
PORTISHEAD - another favorite of mine. all 3 albums of theirs are worth having
Sneaker Pimps - becoming X (only this album as they changed lead singers for future albums to a guy)
Theresa Andersson - new and somewhat unknown.. she is an amazingly talented loop artist.. watch
*We CAN bomb the World to pieces, but we CAN'T bomb it into PEACE*...Michael Franti
*MUSIC IS the expression of EMOTION.....and that POLITICS IS merely the DECOY of PERCEPTION*
.....song_Music & Politics....Michael Franti
*The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite INSANE*....Nikola Tesla(a man who shaped our world of electricity with his futuristic inventions)
Saw her on SNL Saturday night. Didn't care for it but checked her out on iTunes last night when I was bored. She's got an interesting sound and I like her voice. I ended up downloading one of her songs and will probably download a couple more.
Out of curiousity was she live when you saw her saturday night on SNL?
Anyway I gotta go, I think I hear the jerk store calling...
Brodey Dalle (The Distillers and Spinnerette)
The Be Good Tanyas
The Gossip
Jennifer Charles (Loveage album with Mike Patton and Dan the Automator)

Caitlin Rose,Annie & The Beekeepers,Juliana Hatfield,Beth Orton,Laura Marling,Kristin Hersh,Jemina Pearl(Former singer with Be Your Own Pet) Dana Falconberry,Caroline Smith & The Goodnight Sleeps.
Oh and the new Warpaint album is awesome.
Kathleen Edwards... One of the finest songwriters to come out of the past 10 years.

Uh...I think so. She was there and performed on stage twice. I'm not sure if it's actually live, or if it's taped? If it's live it's probably at least a few seconds slow. I didn't really know what to think of her. I think she sounds better on the tracks than she does live though. Then again, not everyone sounds great on SNL, so it might not have been her fault.
Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says its long overdue

I'm so happy with my righteous self

This.
I'm late to this thread but this pretty much sums it up.
I just ran though this thread and I think I may be the only person who truly hates The Dead Weather
Anyhoo, female singers- band & solo:
Beth Hart...actually Beth Muthafucking Hart. GO THERE!
Nico Vega- band w/ female lead. Powerful stuff. See Nico Vega @ The El Rey.
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Florence & the Machine
Spinnerette
Nikka Costa- funk/rock/soul sister that can wail like a banshee
Paula Cole- from "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" fame but there's so much more to her than that. Stunning live.
...signed...the token black Pearl Jam fan.
