From Osaka Rock City - if Shonen Knife is coming to your town, get yourself to the front of the stage asap.

I love Lee Aaron, she puts on really fun live performers and she's got one of the cleanest live voices that I've ever had, It was so good that I thought the few times that I saw her that she was lip syncing.


She's also a super sweet person if you ever get a chance to talk to her.



I also think she's gotten better as time as gone on.







I'll throw in another that was put to me by this board a while ago

so many great female vocalists in the broader sphere including R&B and soul and folk and country etc, so hard to know where to draw the boundaries of course


many of my personal favorites have already been discussed so I will throw out a few I don't think have had mention yet that I think you could place in the broadest circle of 'rock' although none of these are all out rockers per se


Susanna Hoffs (no mention yet?)
Tanya Donnelly
Juliana Hatfield
Sarah Harmer (did front a rock outfit before going solo)
Lucinda Williams
Carol van Dijk (Bette Serveert)
Margo Timmins

PJ Harvey

Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea is one of those perfect albums for me. Every track is both lyrically and musically right. I get that her vocal stylings are too coarse for some, but to me her vocalism is a bit like someone like Tom Waits: it's snarls to crooning to shouts to everything in between, whatever the song calls for, and she pulls me into her emotions every time.

I was about to get all indignant over the Susanna Hoffs snub.

Her Sesame Street appearance was great, I might like it better than the original.

Great category.

Names that immediately come to mind for me. (I know a couple wouldn't necessarily be considered 'rock' but I don't really care because these women are amazing.)

Karen O



Stevie Knicks



Emily Haines



Regine Chassage



Karin Dreijar Andersson





Amy Winehouse



Christina Halladay



Florence Welch



Patsy Cline

Alrighty, two artists received honorable mentions, which has kind of regulated them to the sideshow.

Grace Slick


Patti Smith


And a band that Troutman turned me onto a couple of years ago.

I seem to have a thing for European women that can do both metal and mellow stuff.



Floor Jansen






Anneke van Giersbergen








And both together
