I agree she has an exceptional voice, but she's not really a rock vocalist.

Can't say that I know a lot of good female rock vocalists, so I'll have to go with Stevie Nicks.

I`m surprised nobody has mentioned them either, considering "Dreamboat Annie" often gets mentioned in various greatest hard rock album lists.

Certainly not even close to being the best female rock vocalist, but still my favorite

I always associate the Wilson sisters as being with "Heart" more so than as solo artist. That could be one reason they've not (until now) been mentioned. One of the best female rock band no doubt. And vocalist if so desired.

My vote is still for Patty Smyth & Annie Lennox.

I cannot put Annie Lennox down as a rock vocalist and neither can I put Kate Bush down either. Nothing to do with their vocals at all but it's a whole different kettle of fish really and they are much more subtle and not genre specific.

I would consider her music to be more contemporary & alternative, than labeled in the basic rock genre. I might mention that she is one of my favorite Scottish artist along with the Average White Band.

Not familiar with one of the greatest artist/vocalists ever to walk the earth? Shame on you! Modern female singer songwriters wouldn't exist without Kate Bush. Sure you would still have great vocalists but she represented the whole package (and still does) for a complete package- vocals, writing, lyrics, album art and instrumentation.

I will add Patti Smith to that paragraph too.

She is in her 50's now and still is ****ing gorgeous.
