Nina Hagen has to be one of my favorites. She just has an amazing range in her voice, from opera-like highs to very low rumbles. Even her current gospal songs are not too shabby. If I ever wanted to read or write a biography on one punk female singer, it would have to be her. She just seems to have led such an interesting life and was very much involved from the beginnings of punk rock. I think she kind of enjoys playing with mixing different genre's in her music to test her range (You can see this in "New York, New York") but if you consider punk being more an additude, she was extremely punk in doing so.

I always liked her redoing of Rammsteins's "Seemann". Personally I think she looks amazing as well, considering she was almost 50 when she sang this live (and still pretty much looks the same today).
