Neko Case.

I know folks love some of these bands, but don't settle for New Pornographers, Rilo Kiley, Metric, etc. Check out the solo work - Neko Case, Jenny Lewis & Emily Haines.

There's a lot of good European metal with female vocalists: The Gathering, Nightwish (first 5 albums - new singer sucks) and Threrion are all really really good. Some others you might want to check out are Theatre of Tragedy, Epica and Tristania.

But Neko's solo stuff is pretty much nothing like the New Pornographers.

80's Chick singers > 90's + 00's Chick Singers

I agree on this count, Debra Harry is my all time favorite female singer. :heart: And I liked Gwen Stefani while she was in No Doubt. Too bad she had to become a poptart.

 

[dbk]

The one that sings with Damien Rice in his albums. I also like The Veronicas b/c it's so fake.
