i've found that there is something really alluring about a good rock band with a female lead singer. some like evanescense (although most people for some reason either love or really hate them), lacuna coil, etc. really get to me. i recently started listening to paramore and i really like the girls vocals and she's only 17.

does anyone know of any other good rock bands with female lead singers?

2/24/2006 12:00:19 PM

kinda monotonous

2/24/2006 12:00:34 PM

These are more on the punk side of things, but check out "Los Angeles" by X or the self titled Post Regiment LP

TSUNAMI BOMB is pretty good

2/24/2006 1:08:27 PM

Granted I've only heard one song from them, but the Yeah Yeah Yeahs! spring to my mind.

Two words: Black Tongue.

2/24/2006 1:33:04 PM

i always liked undying, plus their lead singers kinda hot.

2/24/2006 1:33:23 PM

i hope paramore has improved since their first tour cause the lead singer was kinda bad at that point...

i used to like One True Thing, but haven't heard anything of theirs in a while...

2/24/2006 1:37:18 PM

there was a band i saw about 2-3 years ago called walls of jericho... wicked hot female singer... very powerful voice...

i didn't know whether to be blown away or scared of her

2/24/2006 1:45:37 PM

2/24/2006 1:47:33 PM

I like Human Waste Project

2/24/2006 1:50:06 PM

2/24/2006 1:53:14 PM

2/24/2006 3:27:06 PM

^^wussup delph... didn't realize that was your name on here.

2/24/2006 3:31:08 PM

PJ Harvey is probably one of the most underrated female musicians... i'm always surprised by how many people have never heard of her or how many only know "down by the water"

2/24/2006 3:32:53 PM

Yes, but Polly Jean is not a band.

2/24/2006 3:38:04 PM

Nightwish is awesome

sounds like a female fronted tool

2/24/2006 4:41:22 PM

i cant believe they've slipped all of our minds, but THE BREEDERS

2/24/2006 4:48:28 PM

^omg, yes.

also, there was a kickass opening band for beulah at the cat's cradle a couple years ago... i think they were maybe called hominid

2/24/2006 4:51:20 PM

2/24/2006 5:01:07 PM

^^^ The Breeders are third on my list.

^ That's a bit of a stretch, but if VU counts, so should Pixies.

[Edited on February 24, 2006 at 5:04 PM. Reason : d]

2/24/2006 5:04:00 PM

Pixies should count, seeing as "Gigantic" is one of the greatest female rock vocal performances ever.

2/24/2006 5:11:38 PM

kim isnt the lead singer though, the thread is titled "rock bands with female lead singers"
