I've always been a sucker for a good female rock / metal singer. Currently listening to Halestorm,
Love them, The Pretty Reckless, Paramore...
What else have you got?
Within Temptation
Evanescence
Magenta. Christina Booth. Stunning voice.

Wolf Alice, if you're a sucker for 90s retro folk-grunge-punk-shoegazy rock.
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.... obviously.
Hole
Auf Der Maur
Breeders
Maria Brink from in this moment.
I don't much like their early stuff, but from Blood onwards, IMO she's pretty much the zenith of ladies metal vocals.

always liked katie jane garside from daisy chainsaw and then later queen adreena.
Verruca Salt
Skunk Anansi
The Kills
Dead Sara
And my next gig is going to be Kontrust, can’t beat a bit of lederhosen-clad Scandinavian dance-metal!
Hole can f off.
Sonic Youth however are one of the best ever.

One of the first live bands I ever saw, supporting Carter USM, there's hardly any of their stuff online so here's a crappy recording:
Weirdly there's a cover of their best song on youtube, Trashy Broken Heart, but not the original. Still one of my favourite albums
And of course,
Anneke Van Giersbergens new band 'Vuur; , or her old band, 'The Gentle Storm'.

Gentle Storm[/url]
Oooft a wee bit of the distillers needed here I think.
Maybe not vocals in the traditional sense mind.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
I'm loving the Dead Weather these days.
The Bellrays, Lisa Kekula has a stunning voice. Courtney Barnett is great too. Heron Oblivion if you like psychedelic stuff.
And of course, Janis Joplin
Sleater Kinney
Breeders
Punch
Royal Thunder
The inimitable Janis and her Kozmic Blues Band at Woodstock:
Rock Bitch, ...they used to throw a condom into the audience at the end of the show and whoever caught it got to have sex with one of them!
true story.
Savages
The Breeders : Cannonball
Transvision Vamp! Do they count?
I enjoy a bit of Halestorm and Paramore too.
Not strictly “rock” but All About Eve - Julianne Reagan has a great voice
Nightwish
Original line up preferred
Oh and plus one on paramore
PJ Harvey, her first albums, Dry and Rid of Me were pretty heavy.
And awesome, as are the rest.
Liela Moss from The Duke Spirit
Le Tigre.
Bit shit TBH
Go Team
Ahem.
Was a man at one point
PVRIS and Heart are 2 of my favourites. Ann Wilson has the best voice in rock full stop.
Deap Vally.
Beth Hart with Joe Bonamassa
Wow! She has a stunning voice. Love discovering singers I’ve not heard before. Thanks cinnamon 🙂
Not really rock, but I love Frazey Ford and her album never gets old. So much soul and a beautiful woman
Chvrches, although have only ever listened to this remix
TBF, they probably aren't close to a rock band.
Can't believe I forgot this tune.
Marmozets. From the same rehearsal rooms as one of my bands
Some great leads here, thanks folks.
Within Temptation
Evanescence
Verruca Salt
Transvision Vamp! (haha)
Nightwish
Ticks on all of those already, that's what I'm talking about. [edit: and Lacuna Coil]
Beth Hart with Joe Bonamassa
I'm a fan of Bonamassa so that's particularly interesting, ta.
Wow! She has a stunning voice. Love discovering singers I’ve not heard before. Thanks cinnamon
You're welcome. 🙂 Her and Joe B have done a couple of albums together. Here's another:
Saw these in barrow about ten years ago. Barely anyone there, two or three old guys leering about at the front of the stage. TBF, she still had it.
Beaten to them but hey
Madder Rose
but really...
Uzeda
/endthread
Love Catatonia too.
Amazing live, saw them at King George's Hall in Blackburn supporting the Manics.
Properly tight, got everyone behind them, just an amazing gig.
And..
Poly Styrene RIP. Such an insightful and intelligent lyricist
Just remembered a bonkers band back in the day I got addicted to their crazy but talented rock madness:
eX-Girl
*Edit - and Chrome Hoof! Lola Olafisoye has more sass than a sackfull of cats. Marmite yes, but I like Marmite.
I love this song- Drowned Beast by The Oh Sees
IGNEA - Alga [Female Fronted Symphonic Metal] (sound Dream Theater like 😀 )
This list wouldn't be complete without some Heron Oblivion
Did Courtney Barnett get a mention yet?

I remember the atmosphere more than them, tbh.
Had no idea who they were, had never really heard of them and didn't follow them after that.
Mudhoney were superb
🙂
Some good stuff on here.
Check out Devilskin

WTF wrong with you people?
I always liked Juliana Hatfield.
No mention of The Cranberries?
How about French singers?
