I am really quite a massive fan of Grace Slick, but it has to be Janis

Grace Slick without a doubt, she always had a powerful unique voice.

Johnnette Napolitano.

Lita Ford.
:bowdown:

Janis Joplin, Grace Slick, Karen O, and Stevie Nicks are in my top four.

I think I'd probably have Patti Smith in ahead of one of the latter two but that's a pretty damn fine top four.

Dont you mean Patty Smyth? :laughing: (just kidding)

Oh..I forgot to mention, That Van Halen actually offered Patty Smyth the position as lead vocalist before asking Sammy Hagar, she graciously and (obviously) refused the offer.

i believe tarja turunen deserves a mention. her voice is oh so captivating.

I like a lot of the singers mention like Janis Joplin, Lennie Annox, & Stevie Nicks. I know most people gravitate to strong loud voices e.g. John Mayer called Hayley Williams "The great orange hope." When she screams imo it sounds like her voice go flat. So I like regular singings with good technique but who don't hot dog it all the time.

My pick is Chrissie Hynde, she has a nice soft voice she sings with a lot of emotion and has good vibrato. She can do both ballads with a sentimental touch and she belt out a rock song too. And imo you can say the same thing about Stevie Nicks.

Also nobody`s mentioned Kate Bush, surely one of the most distinctive sounding female artists ever.
