These chicks are not in bands which I even own 1 cd of,but the've got the most awesome voices:Nancy Wilson of Heart,Stevie Nicks,and Kelly Osborn.............no no just kidding Kelly Osborn sucks just because your daddy made a career with a mediocre albeit unique voice does not mean you should pollute peoples ears with caterwalling.But anyway in there prime Wilson or Nicks could have sang me to sleep any night. :wink:

I'll second Ann Wilson, Norah Jones.

I had a bit of a thing for Hope Sandoval at one point.

New nomination: Marie Fredricksson of Roxette. Fantastic voice transcending typical Swedish pop cheese. Unfort, last I heard she was still recovering from a brain tumor & may not return to performing.

Two more so-far neglected names:

Liz Fraser of Cocteau Twins. Ethereal, magisterial, innocent, passionate, you name it....she does it.

Lisa Germano, solo artist and Prince collaborator. Her solo stuff is excellent.

There is an up and coming female singer of a metal bad called HolyHell. Her name is Maria Breon.

In this clip, she is doing a duet with Eric Adams of Manowar (who I think is the best metal singer out there).

The song is the title track from the movie Phantom of the Opera.

Even if you are not into metal, check out this link and give this girl a chance...

The Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers

Martha Davis of the Motels

Maria McKee

and I can't believe nobody has mentioned the woman who made it possible for half the women in this thread...

Never thought I'd ever see a band rock out to "Phantom of the Opera."

Interesting. If this computer had sound, I'd listen to it. I'm curious to see how it compares to Nightwish's formidable take on Phantom of the Opera.

I definately take this one over Nightwish's, especially on the strength of the vocals of Eric Adams.

Nightwish's version was always just a bit 'too operatic' for me.
