Janis of course, Indigo Girls, Inkubus Sukkubus, Dar Williams, Aimee Mann, Joni Mitchell, Joan Osbourne, Eliza Carthy, Kate Bush, Kristen Hersh. Ok, ok... not all are/have been in bands but they all more than deserve a mention!
Rachel from late Sinister has double the vocal brutality and triple the I'm-going-to-kick-your-ass factor of Angela Gossow.
Honestly, I can't stand that woman's voice. What a waste of sound waves. Autumn is muuuch better, methinks.
no one has mentioned ani difranco - her voice and guitar skills are amazing. i would also have to go with joni mitchell - a classic.
Captain Beefheart live @ Pink Pop 197x (don't know what number but it is great music) [sorry]Wrong thread. Thought this was the "what are you listening now thread[/sorry]
so many that i really like....... jefferson airplane, hole, no doubt, the breeders, the pixies, blondie, veruca salt, garbage, the cranberries........all of them amazing in my opinion i can't choose just one
The best? IMHO it's The Eurythmics and Curved Air. The vocalist for Curved Air had a really great voice, and their first album ("air conditioning") is a real gem. And when she chooses too no one can sing like Annie Lennox.
