Don't dislike it at all, if it sounds good then that's all that matters to me be it male or female. I think some people may have specific preferences to what they like to hear but I think it's kind of dumb to just dismiss a band just because they're lead singer happens to be female.

What's to dislike? There are plenty of great female frontwomen.

Mr. Charlie

It's not something that's ever crossed my mind. If the lead singer can sing then their sex is irrelevant.

Franco Pepe Kalle

I agree with you one hundred percent.

Girls are the sexy thing that God created.

Important to notice FPK.

I was thinking this just recently. I think for me personally it comes down to genre. For instance I almost always prefer a female vocalist on the more subdued side of electronic music (Braids, Jessy Lanza etc.) - there's something about their timbre that makes it work so much better. Alternatively... I dunno... hardcore punk...

That being said remember when St. Vincent ****in' rocked that Kerosene cover?...

I love women singers. My new fav is Alabama Shakes singer.

Calling all musicians/anybody else working in the music business,

I am undergoing some media research related to artists and bands on social media sites. Please can you respond to the questions as freely as you feel.

1. Can you give a few details of who you are/your musical background e.g. Male, currently in rock band, aged 25-30, plays bass guitar

2. How much time do you spend on the internet surfing anything music related? (this could be anything from Spotify to Bandcamp)

3. Do you have your own band page on any websites? If yes, please state where your band pages currently exist.

4. If you use a social media site for your band page, do you think anything is missing in terms of gaining/maintaining audiences?

5. Could you benefit from a music hub which helps you find musicians/post music/manage your media or help you market your band?

6. What are the key problems with the internet and bands? Do you feel there could be a change e.g. promoting your gigs further. If so, please state.

You'd be of great help to me!

Interesting question 'Vanilla'. Frankly, I was THRILLED in the first half of the 90's when more women were really coming to the forefront in the rock and pop world. Artists like Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morrisette, Joan Osbourne, and Paula Cole were absolutely wonderful. And in the hard rock world, Drain STH absolutely rocked.

However, I think as a genre, I find the most talented women overall are arguably in country music. And I say that as a non-country fan, mind you. I think the level of talent is higher among women in country than their male counterparts, generally speaking. Trisha Yearwood, the Dixie Chicks, and Martina McBride all have incredible vocal talent. And all are good songwriters as well. So, in short order, I'm all for MORE women in the music world. Still, at the end of the day it's all about talent, regardless of gender.

Someone call the somebody, for once I agree with this man.

I love Alanis, she was great for my teenage angst. The thread seems ridiculous but it was based on a conversation with a member who had a thing against female singers.
