Favorite Female artist....... and why

[Ridire]

Almost embarrassed to say but I kind if dig Michelle Branch. I love that Bonnie Rait has been mentioned, though and I put Melissa Etheredge on the same level...love bluesy music.


Sent from here, because that's where I am.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

Kate Bush, because she has always been perfect.

 

[dfc]

Lady Gaga, cause I want to "poker" face.............

I'm not a fan.

There is a disturbing lack of spank material in this thread.

Dolly Parton: Because Coat of many colors always gets me, damn near brings a tear to my eyes.
Janice Joplin: Because she put so much into everything she ever did.
Loretta Lynn: Because she reminds me so much of my mom, in her mannerisms, and general Kentucky persona.

Aside from them, the chick from the B52s I always liked, and I love me some older/70s Linda Ronstadt.

Which one?

 

[dfc]

Is this thread specifically about musical artists or can it be artists of any kind? Visual artists, adult artists, etc?

 

[headbanger]

Nicole Bogner because she had one of the most beautiful voices in history, may God rest her soul.

Amanda Palmer from the Dresden Dolls, she's hot in a very psychotic kind of way.

 

[gwapogorilla]

Does "HEART" count as an artist? I know it's a group, but it's named after the sisters that founded it. She's got one heck of a voice in my book.

 

[alane1]

Yeah, if you call that metal.

 

[alane1]

Another one of my favourite ladies

 

[LabRatBrewer]

There is a lot of great music on this thread.

Here ya go, Spanky!

 

[Jaybird]

There is a lot of great music on this thread.

This is exactly why I started this thread. I LOVE female vocals and I have always been on the hunt for new music. I have been kind of lost in 80-90 hour work weeks for the last 4 years I have kind of lost touch.
Great music!
Cheers
Jay

Didn't see her mentioned, but I always enjoyed Fiona Apple.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

All the GoGo's

Every once in a while, my inner Swede surfaces & then I really like listening to Kraja:



Or their cover of an old Nina Simone tune:

Alison Krauss - Because her voice is so pure and sweet...she can sing absolutely anything....and she has class!

Nora Jones - ditto to above

Dolly Parton - Because I like her music and the fact that she is "dumb-like-a-fox". "It costs a lot of money to look this trashy", one of my favorite quotes and window into her soul.

Bette Midler - The quintessential female entertainer.

Patsy Cline - a pure voice and a haunting ghost-image and memory of the late 1950's

Sara Bareilles singing "Gravity" a cappella.. best rendition of this song by far (and the original), and one of the best songs i think of when i hear great female artist

[JonM]

Brody Dalle

Agreed.

 

[JonM]

I'll add Brandi Carlile to the list. I saw her at the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee. She walked to the edge of the stage and belted out this song with no amplification at all and still rocked the place. A couple weeks later she was on A Prairie Home Companion. After she blew the doors off the theater by playing Folsom Prison Blues, Garrison Keillor, with typical Midwestern understatement, said "You got some voice on ya, kid."


And Neko Case needs to be here too. I've seen her solo and with the New P0rn0graphers.
