Female Rock Voices.

I don't know much of her other than her background vox on Darkside of the Moon but Clare Torry belts it. Let's give Ronnie Spector some credit too
 
Yes She [Nina Hagen] has, in addition Her art and outfit to perform videos are great as well. I always remember that polemic song Smack Jack.

Nina's just amazing! I like female female singers with a bit of edge:

Janis

Annie Lennox

Melanie (in Candles in the Rain)

Marianne Faithfull

Patti Smith

Fiona Apple.
 
The singer from paramore...

I was in a project called 'Steff Koeppen'
obviously... fronted by a girl. Most amazing voice I have ever heard. Search it on myspace.
 
Some have already been mentioned ... not in any peticular favorite order ...

Janis Joplin
Annie Lennox
Marrianne Faithful (glad to see I'm not alone on this!)
Nina Hagen
Amy Lee
Stevie Nicks
Anne Halsam (Renaissance)
Pat Benetar
Genya Ravan (Ten Wheel Drive)
Lydia Pense (In Cold Blood)
Tina Turner
Tarja Turunen
Annette Olzen
Maggie Bell
Bonnie Tyler (Jim Steinman's favorite singer)
Mellisa Etheridge
Ann Wilson
and a few others I can't remember ...
 
Whew! Someone finally mentioned Debbie Harry (Blondie).

Didn't see this name mentioned:

Sade

Maybe not 'rock' in the strictest sense (R&B) but probably my favorite female vocalist overall.
 
not the best voice in the world but anyone remember Lita Ford?

"went to a party last saturday night, didnt get laid, i got in a fight, uh huh"

Stevie Nicks
Simone Simons - Epica
Tarja Turunen - ex-Nightwish
Anette Olzon - Nightwish
Janis Joplin
Floor Jansen - After Forever/Revamp
Sharon Den Adel - Within Temptation
Annie Haslam - Renaissance
 
Ooh.. I love rock ladies.

Shirley Manson - Garbage
Brody Dalle - The Distillers
Hayley Williams - Paramore
Debbie Harry - Blondie
Maja Ivarsson - The Sounds
Joan Jett

And yeah, go ahead, flame me, I don't care, I still love her:

Avril Lavigne :D

Cheers!


Simone Simons, Epica, mezzo-soprano.

I once saw Epica live, this girl was dressed pretty much like in your pics, a whole leather-strapped outfit and that long red amazing hair.. Oh boy, she could have sung out of tune the entire show and no guy in the audience would've noticed. Really, she is that hot, and also an amazing singer.
