Female singers in rock bands
 

does this annoy any of you? im not sexist, unless me hating when girls sing in a rock band is sexist. then sign me up for sexist-anon

Yes that does sound very sexist.
You offend me, Gentleman Johnny.
There are loads of great female rock vocalists!

Most of the time. I know its harsh, its nothing sexist really, its just that a lot of the female vocalists Ive heard dont have such a good impact on a band. Its just not the same sometimes, harsh, but whatever. My opinion.

like janis joplin? ya i know. but like current bands, such as the distillers, yeah yeah yeahs, etc

Well it just has a different sound, that's all.
I mean 5.6.7.8.'s fit into that category as well but they just have a different vibe.
You wouldn't see a big huge man with a deep voice singing, "Woo-hoo, hoo hoo hoo, woo-hoo, hoo hoo hoo."
I myself couldn't picture a woman singing for INXS but they have women trying out too in that new television program...
It's just a different feel I guess, and you either like most of it or you don't.

It doesn't sound sexist, it just sounds like you don't listen to that much music.

Personally, MOST of my favorite artists are females, and MANY of my favorite bands include female vocalists. Try listening to new music sometimes people.

Its not that Im refusing to listen to bands because they have a female vocalist in them. Theres just not many Ive come across that appeal to me as much as male vocalists. If it bugs you, feel free to reccomend some, and Ill be sure to look into em.

No, it doesn't bug me at all. If you SERIOUSLY want recommendations (which would purely be based on my personal preference), then try reading some of my posts. I swear I've responded to this same exact topic at least five times in the past 3 months.

My favorite bands Nausea.
