Grace Slick, Patty Smith & the lady from Blondie.

Most likely Kim Deal is my favorite female vocalist of all time (granted that opinion could easily change). There just has never been such a more angelic voice I have ever heard. Grace Slick would be my runner up. Deborah Harry, Beth Gibbons & Aretha Franklin are also pretty high up on my list.

I never knew Frank Sinatra was a woman!

My favourites are Aretha Franklin and Ella Fitzgerald. My girlfriend played me some Alison Krauss recently - that was good. Also KT Tunstall, PJ Harvey, Janis Joplin, Lauren Hill and Frank Sinatra. I really like Amy Lee's voice too, but the rest of Evanescence let her down!
