What are your favorite bands with female leads?

Heart and its not even close. That band is so sick

 

I failed to list that band. Thank you for bringing them to the discussion.

 

i could've missed them, but have The Go-Go's and The Bangles not been mentioned yet?

i have to say when i saw the thread i couldn't think of many answers but this has reminded me of a lot of songs i haven't listened to in a while.

Heart
The Pretenders
Blondie
The Go-Go's
The Bangles
Roxette
No Doubt

 

Repped...how could I forget Exene -good one

 

Some good stuff in this thread. The only band I didn't see mentioned was Joydrop. They only recorded one album, but it was pretty good. Tara Sloane took off after that and has done some solo work.

 

OMG dude I think I love you, was going to make the same response Curve v garbage! And finally someone throws in Cocteau Twins and MBV. Repped!

 

One more! I also used to like Belly a lot.

 

easy, Yeah Yeah Yeahs!!

 

would rep you if i could, seen them twice, F'N awesome, allison mosshart is sick, grimy, beautiful, this is one of my favorite bands period.

 

I liked her singing better when she was in Discount but she was overweight back then.

Harriet Wheeler's got such a great soothing voice.

I don't remember her name..but I do remember she sings in 7 different languages...good stuff

 

me too..Tanya Donnelly really showed her range on the first album..but the second album was way underrated and was very well produced.

 

Most of the best have been covered. A couple I like that haven't been mentioned yet:
Bif Naked - might not count as a band
Tegan and Sarah
Four Non Blondes - bit of a one hit wonder, but What's Goin' On is a great song
Kitten - Chloe Chaidez is 15, insane, and has a crazy energy live

 

These Nordic groups seem to keep their names simple. "The Sounds"? "The Knife" ? lol

 

OTEP, b****es

And Dixie Chicks....

 

Damn, it's been awhile since I've thought of Kittie.
When I was really little I can remember hearing my sister listening to their album Spit all the time. That band goes through members like crazy.

 

I guess none of you like no doubt. Gwen Stefani is weird in a good way in that she kept on getting hotter each year from 96. I can't believe there hasn't been a band with a girl lead since No Doubt that have as good or popular. Paramore is getting there, but their more emo punk rock.
