I'm talking modern here, not The Andrews Sisters. (Yes this means YOU, Spucky!)

Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions

Ok then, How about the Pointer Sisters.

I loved her with Mazzy Star, but I haven't heard anything since then. (besides that Heroin cover).

She used to be in Mazzy Star. Gourgeous voice, and she's physically beautiful as well.....

CG - pick up a copy of her album "Bavarian Fruit Bread". It's amazing...

i have no idea why, but when i listen to mazzy star i think about making love to adrienne shelly(during The Unbelievable Truth era). i really can't pin it down why, but maybe i shouldn't care.

Does it have to be a "band", or do female solo performers count?

it's not a test, it's a bullshit internet survey. post whatever you like.





(after that post, I guess I should tell most of you to look up A.F.I.....nah, I know a few of you will find the humor)

Divine!

Lovage, Jennifer Charles plays the part of the perfect sex kitten.

I think it needs to be a band, Justin. Otherwise, you're gonna get 'Britney', or Pink, or some crap like that. I think he wants REAL rockers. It is tough to be in a rock band of one.

Mazzy is great. very cool voice, and attractive. I also like Lucious Jackson, or at least I did back in the day. The two thin ones were cute.

I am really really starting to like the girl from Evanescence. They rock (hard), play their own instruments, and write their own lyrics. Also, she can rock out hard, but maintain an ethereal voice over it all.

Freakwater, although they're really more country than rock'n'roll.

Goldfrapp.

Gesundheit!

Kate Bush, still incredible

I posted a link in the old forum, but since it's gone...

'd have to say Lunascape. And not only because they have a song called "Tears from the Moon".

If you are going to post Kate Bush, I'll post my all time favorite.

Bonnie Raitt !

Velvet Underground with Nico

Larspeart,

Thankfully, I wasn't thinking of 'Britney'. She is a (rich) skanky ho.

I was actually thinking of Tori Amos.

But anyway....

Other than her, Beth Gibbons of Portishead?

Not too many female-fronted rock bands that I think are worth a shit.

"No doubt"? No talent.

"Garbage"? Yes, it is.

Buck,

I love the VU, but Nico was really pretty tangential to the band. I think Warhol set her up with the band as a contrived visual thing. I would have said Mo Tucker, but she rarely sang.

No mention of Blondie, the Pretenders, or the Eurythmics? Were you people dead during the 80's or what?

She's got an amazing voice as well. I saw her play live about a month ago with Rustin Man. It was awesome!

I was thinking the same thing when I read Buck's post. She was basically forced on them by Warhol, and since they wanted his help, they made the best of the situation. I do like her voice, but a great singer she is not...

or Beth Gibbons without Portishead -- seconded (even though I have no avatar and I feel naked).

Most amazing concert in the AB (Ancienne Belgique) in Brussels this year: she's almost six different singers packaged into one small fragile bundle.

Someone brought up Nico and UV, so if bands from distant pasts counts, let's not forget Siouxsie and the Banshees (and all her later vehicles, for that matter).

The Otter Pops.

No fucking way.

Way.

Ha!

Pancakes for b'fast?

Emmet Otter would kill the Otter Pops!




Mess-a-Mama's, Mess-a-Mama's, Mess-a-Mama's Bar-Ba-Q

Pancakes whenever I can get my mitts on 'em.

That's ancient history, though, Mayor (Ca. 1989ish). My later project was done under a stealthy, stealthy alias and lasted 9 years.

Do tell.
Everyone loves to hear about our Peeper.
Some luv it.

The Dutch Falconi Orchestra, a post-punk, big band cabaret show gone awry. I was known as "Kitten Fontina." I never could sing worth a damn, but then neither could Piaf. I developed such an affinity for wigs and platform shoes, during that incarnation, that a girlfriend forever pinned me as "a drag queen trapped in a woman's body."


There, I spilled.

Coffee again?

That wasn't my fault.

Actually, I much preferred VU W/O Nico. I just couldn't think of girl fronted band fast enuf

Concise Buck

My taste is very ecelectic, but I always fall back on punk as my favorite music...
thats why my vote is for NY based all girl punk band 'The Spider Cunts'

Saw them at the Jim Falls Old Barn Punk Festival in Northern Wisconsin, damn they could rock!
If any of you NY guys knwo of them, please kidnap the bassist and send her to me!

Waaah! I saw them on Haight Street mid 90's or so... I was also a big fan of Combustible Edison at the time. Miss Lily was in a previous band called "Christmas" where she sang a song about hotdogs. I liked that.

Well then Missy Liq, you saw the Hedgehog in action.
I forgot about Combustible Edison.
They were combustible, they flamed right the fuck out.

Undershakers

Small world, indeed! Yeah, we used to make the SF circuit from time to time. It's good to meet you again, Miss Liquor.

Suzy and the Banshee's

There's a classic. Hello, kitty.

Yes, Greeneyes. Personally I think it rocks. Very cool...

I'm a bit harsh when it comes to female-fronted bands, but I find myself listening frequently to Hooverphonic, Portishead, and Halou.

(Do yourself a favor - check out www.halou.com )

Once again, Rimmy's taste seems right up my alley -- Jennifer Charles is a knockout, even if you've only heard her voice. Her work with Firewater, Loveage, and Elysian Fields is absolutely stunning. I hear she's working on a duet (en francais, no less!) with Jim "Foetus" Thirlwell...

Ah! Foetus! *dies!*

I've got a bad Foetus obsession going on...

Was on the website the other day and saw an announcement that his side project (one of many) Manorexia's first album is almost sold out. If you haven't heard it, you should check it out -- it's called "Volvox Turbo," and I first heard it described as "an acid trip without the hallucinogens" or something along those lines.

The guy is a freaking genius -- I can't wait to see what he does scoring "The Venture Brothers" on Cartoon Network.

I've got a thing for the lead singer of Evanescence.
