you have a point!

singing isn't really that important in punk . the worse a punk singer is the better actually by punk standards.

Dude, X-Ray Spex ring a bell? I get that you aren't sexist, but there are in fact good female punk singers. The chick from Le Tigre is awesome, as well as Siouxsie Sioux, Debbie Harry (obviously), and other stuff like Au Pairs, and holy crap how could I forget PATTI ****ING SMITH. Not angry, just realizing how awesome these women are.

Some of my favourites:

Kat Bjelland of Babes In Toyland. Her voice sends shivers down my spine

Kathleen Hanna of Bikini Kill. Awesome voice.

Exene Cervenka of X. I love her voice, she sounds as cool and as sexy as hell.

The singer from Woah Hunx is rad.

Nina Hagen has to be one of my favorites. She just has an amazing range in her voice, from opera-like highs to very low rumbles. Even her current gospal songs are not too shabby. If I ever wanted to read or write a biography on one punk female singer, it would have to be her. She just seems to have led such an interesting life and was very much involved from the beginnings of punk rock. I think she kind of enjoys playing with mixing different genre's in her music to test her range (You can see this in "New York, New York") but if you consider punk being more an additude, she was extremely punk in doing so.

I always liked her redoing of Rammsteins's "Seemann". Personally I think she looks amazing as well, considering she was almost 50 when she sang this live (and still pretty much looks the same today).

Still love Joan Jett!

Jess from 1905.

Her voice is so sweet but when she gets aggressive, her vocal chords go through the roof. It's amazing.
