Johnette from Concrete Blonde.

Emmylou Harris

Heart

Laura Nyro - she changed the game - Joni did the "confessional" music after she did.

Stevie Nicks & Christine McVie (before Stevie joined, she had some great songs with FM)

Joan Baez - even though she hits notes that annoy me.

Elkie Brooks - not known outside of the UK, but should be in the rock hall. And she's still singing.

Tina Turner in the Ike and Tina days - unbelievable. Even in her 70s, she made Beyonce look like a complete amateur.

2 Fairport alumni - Linda Thompson and Sandy Denny.

Marianne Faithfull

Wanda Jackson

Chrissie Hynde

Joan Jett

Alison Krauss - prefer her without Robert Plant though

Bonnie Raitt - another one to see live over listening to her studio stuff... another one that was harder edged back in the day and became background yuppie Patrick Bateman music.

Aretha - only thing is her shows were 75 percent gospel, 25 percent the hits when I saw it.

Pat Benatar - still has a great voice and still out there singing.

Darlene Love and Ronnie Spector - made so many great songs, they're in their 60s/70s and they still sound great.

Gladys Knight

Mavis Staples

Tori Amos

Kate Bush

Cyndi Lauper

Janis

Dolly Parton

Nancy Sinatra- not the best singer, but her catalog has some favorites, esp. the stuff with Lee Hazlewood.

Sarah Brightman

B-52s - how could they not be on a favorite female list??

Patti Smith

Sade

Ani DiFranco

Annie Lennox

Joni Mitchell

Dusty Springfield

Elizabeth Fraser

Regina Spektor

Cat Power

Amanda Palmer

Bonnie Bramlett (Bonnie and Delaney)

I am not a country fan ,but Carrie Underwood is awesome! She has a great voice, and puts on a great live show. When my special somebody and myself saw her, she sang ”Paradise city”. Her band was weak, but she nailed it! I think she has one of the best voices out there.

This. She is by far my favorite female singer. I saw her at the Hollywood Bowl a year ago tomorrow and man, her voice is powerful. It was perfect. She also does a mean version of SCOM, and her November Rain is stunning.

Candice Night, Hayley Williams, Amy Lee, Sarah Brightman and Sharon den Adel are some of my other favorites.
