Not much mention of female vocalists, except for Stevie Nicks, who has to get my vote too, as 'Rumours' was compulsory listening throughout my teenage years.
To redress the balance a little, I also rate:
Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins)
Annie Lennox (Eurythmics)
Aretha Franklin
Kate Bush
Billie Holiday
Björk
With apologies for what might be a contentiously high 'banshee' factor.
