Default Talented female musicians

Who do you consider talented female artist?
Apart from being beautiful who do you think is a very talented female musician.

(The post is intened for female musicians, I'm not saying don't post female singers but I'm sure there is a thread for female singers)


Hiromi Uehara - jazz composer and pianist
Liona Boyd - one of the best classical guitar players
Nancy Wilson - guitar player - Heart
Chissie Hynde - singer & gutiar player - Pretenders
Tina Weymouth - bass player - Talking Heads

Hey, well, Tina Weymouth was in Tom Tom Club and she sang in that...
Haha.

I think Alison Mosshart from The Kills/The Dead Weather is pretty damn talented. She doesn't always play guitar but I think when she plays it always sounds really nice. And a lot better than I play... go figure.
Ooh, and Sharin Foo from The Raveonettes.

Uhmm... does Mo Tucker count even if I assumed that she was a guy at first cos of her hairstyle?

Guess it's down to me to state the obvious

I really don't know them - I had to look them up. I've seen a cellist, which reminds me of Trio Rococo, but only have one album by them Norwegian Wood, amazing amazing interpretations of Beatle songs. The band has two very talented women.

Inge Mulvad Eje - Cello
Berit Spaelling - Harp

Aziza Mustafa Zadeh:


Paz Lenchantin (playing Viola in this particular clip):


Frances Chan (this clip doesn't really do her justice but she is one of the most talented pianists I've ever seen and her musical ear is superb. Also, Adam Jones and Maynard of Tool have both featured her videos on their official websites and requested to meet her at Tool concerts):


Tori Amos


And heaps more.

I thought the title of this thread said "Tainted Female Musicians", but:

Mmm...Jacqueline du Pre


Barbara Dennerlein (notice she's also playing bass with her feet)


Tal Wilkenfeld....Wow


Emily Remler, who tragically died around 20 years ago at the age of 24

I've bee following Tal Wilkenfeld for a while now.. she is just amazing. lol as a side note... I hate that interviewer so badly; sick of seeing his stupid shows every single day. What's so 'unusual' about a girl playing bass anyway?

I know. I was going to tell everyone to disregard how utterly patronizing and sexist he was being.
