PJ Harvey, Beach House, Phantogram, Slits, so many great female singers. Hell, listen to Merry Clayton in Gimme Shelter, just crazy good.

Moss,

Did you know that they say merry Clayton sang so intense in gimme shelter that she had a miscarriage the very next day! She was amazing in that...you could hear mick jagger yelling in the background because she was so awesome!!

JQ,

You are missing out...what about Stevie nicks, pat benatar, Adele, so many others!

I know she was preggers during that recording. Never heard anything about miscarry. How cool to know you were at that recording sesh. Even if it was in utero.

I disagree with people who dislike female vocals just because they're not male vocals. There are some very talented female vocalists out there not just in pop music but also in less mainstream stuff.

The "shoegazing" genre relies very heavily on amazing female vocals and without their vocals I doubt the music of that genre would be as effective.

I'm pretty sure everyone with half a brain voted the middle option.

I like The Savages an all female band from London.

I totally disagree with this, females have been dominating the scenes lately. Yes this is a male generated industry, but females are more and more building their brands to surpass men in the music industry. They work just as hard, train just as harder, and sell just as many records if not more. And they are talented, some of them can actually sing sing and sing. So who doesn't like female artists? Someone likes them because they are selling records and always being featured.

Based on the votes, most people including myself are impartial. There are good ones and there are bad ones, I base it on talent. How can I not like them? Certain themes, moods, atmospheres just don't work without a female lead.

When my parents would listen to Tracy Chapman when I was young...I always assumed she was a man...due to her muscular tones....and when I found out she was a woman...I said "oh right"....true story.
