Female singers in rock bands (member, magazine, classic, quote)

judas_priest · 08-02-2005, 12:59 PM

I myself am a girl and don't listen to any bands with female singers. I personally don't like the sound of their voices as much, and think they aren't well-suited to heavy rock and metal music.

Ah no really I do think shes quite the talent, but she did dilute Ash slightly.

Yeah, probably... I guess she was too good for the band. That's the problem with girls in a male rockband...

Kim Deal, for instance...Always preferred the Breeders to Pixies

I agree with your point some women exploit their sexuality, but Charlotte Cooper did say in an interview "I dance around a lot and find them easy to move in." about her mini skirts.

Yeah but that's just something whores say.

It would probably be easier for her to go fully naked at that rate then...

Well they need summat to backup their stage show when it finally starts to sink in that they're a piece of Sh it band. But for now we'll just have to be content with standing in the front row

In the words of the Subways: Oh Yeah.

I spent the last 15 minutes compiling some good artists and good bands that include female vocals to further prove my original point:
Blondie, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Portishead, Doreen Shaffer, Metric, Dry and Heavy, Bessie Smith, Tilly and the Will, Natacha Atlas, New Pornographers, Vice Squad, Veruca Salt, X, Deerhoof, Mercury Rev, Tori Amos, The Slits, Fiery Furnaces, Ladytron, Wolfbrigade, Magneta Lane, The No No's, Frou Frou, Architecture in Helsinki, Figurine, Freezepop, Call and Response, The Pixies, The Breeders, Fugu, Magnetic Fields, Cibo Matto, Hang on the Box, The Raincoats, Cowboy Junkies, The Evens, The Rondelles, Meet the Virus, Le Tigre, Bikini Kill, Julie Ruin, The Runaways, Melt Banana, F-Minus, Sonic Youth, Peaches, The Avengers, Nausea, The Devotchkas, Witch Hunt, Katie Melua, KMFDM, Antischism, .f*ckingcom, old Sneaker Pimps, Mirah, Elysian Fields, Bratmobile, Rilo Kiley, The Alley Cats, Blatz, The Crabs, Saraha Hotnights. (if you know any of these bands and like them, then clap your hands)

but you need to add Aus Rotten, Naked Aggression, and Crass

(and probably more that I can't think of right now)
