Good Female Vocalists. (2 Viewers)

[Butterfly_Wings]

This is as far as my CD collection goes in terms of female vocalists:

Tori Amos
George (Katie Noonan)
Fiona Apple
Magic Dirt (Adalita)
PJ Harvy
Hole (Courtney Love)

...The Female to Male ratio is somewhat unequal! Surely there are more good ones out there?

 

[PrettyNoose]

Annie Lennox
Nico
PJ Harvey
Sharlene Spiteri
Tori
Bjork
Christina Scabbia
Sinead O'Connor
lead singer of 7 year bitch....
Alanis Morisette
Tobey Torres
Lisa Hannigan

delta goodrem is good, i know the image is all poppy but there is a beautiful voice behind all that.
My music collection is all guys, bands mainly. Tim freedman from the whitlams has a good voice.

But of course..It is Portishead we're talking about here. Eagerly anticipating their Portishead-followup.

We suffer everyday, what is it for,
These crimes of illusion, are fooling us all...

 

[glycerine]

haha, it's really embarassing... i keep singing along to them in the library... and i have aterrible voice, i really can't do the songs justice

 

[snakeoils]

oh glycerine, i think i just found my musical soulmate in you geez, uve got amazing taste in music (in my opinion anyway)... i own albums from everyone on your list except Cibo Matto, Neneh Cherry and Catpower (must investigate all three of them now!) and I'm not too into Missy Elliot (but still think shes a genius)

Have people heard Beth Gibbons' (Portishead) solo album? I got it the other day, and while its different from Portishead, its still mighty fine.

Ok, just to add a few singers here who haven't been mentioned

-Patty Griffin
-Elan
-Holly McNarland
-Joan Osbourne
-Sophie B Hawkins
-Sheryl Crow
-Missy Higgins
-Shelby Starner
-Beth Hirsch
-Jewel (i will defend 0304, even tho i dont like it much)

i could go on all night, but i won't.
