Best Female Rock Singers

Gotta be Ann Wilson

[Behshad]

That's only because they had not come up with the buffet idea yet!

I gotta go with Stevie Nicks. Smokin hot and a killer voice!

Sorry mate, but youre overude for a VISION and HEARING check-up

[chf34jmac]

I need a vision check? What about all these people choosing the 600 pounder?

I love Stevie, she's awesome, but she basically blew out her voice on coke. Maybe you like the old days though with her? she was absolutely beautiful, charismatic and wonderful voice.

[chf34jmac]

Just saw her live. Voice is still great. She has had that raspy sound since the beginning.

[Behshad]

They chose her based on the VOICE , in which case the do need their HEARING checked as well. but I dont think anyone said she is hot.You said Steve Nicks is HOT.

[chf34jmac]

You are absolutely correct I did say that she was hot. And in MY opinion she has gotten even more attractive with age.

Did ya'll know that Jeff and Lita Ford worked together on her 1991 cd Dangerous Curves. Jeff does the back ground on songs such as " Shot Of Poison" ,"Black Widow" and "Hellbound Train". On "Hellbound Train" even though Jeff is supposed to be the backing vocals, but you hear his voice louder and clearer than Lita's! 'Atta boy, Jeffrey

Now that is a cool fact. Thanks for the info!

I voted for Melissa Etheridge, but I also really like Ann Wilson too.

[RPM]

Ann Wilson still sounds GREAT, its no surprise to see her number one here,
this is a pretty sharp group....

[Wally_Hatchet]

Ann Wilson had the strongest rock voice, Annie Lennox has the superior pop voice and maybe the best pure singer out of all of them...

...but Stevie Nicks is God.

[larryfromnextdoor]

My "Other" vote goes to Bonnie Raitt, though I guess technically she's more of a blues singer.

shes amazing! also Billie Holiday,, going back in time some but she was the best in the world at one time,, i loved Martha Reeves as well ,,

[X factor]

Honestly can't decide between Ann Wilson and Pat Benatar, too close. And with ya Red when it comes to Janis Joplin. While I really like Sass for her gritty vocals, never did get the appeal of Joplin's.

Two more great choices AR, Patty and Jann, but not sure who Heather Nova is.

X Factor: Sass was going to join Van Halen???

Yeah, I aways heard that she was one of the ones Eddie had his eye on when Sammy left, and that perhaps he even extended an offer but Sass refused. Remember, Eddie also had his eyes on one Patty Smyth after Dave left...IO think he's always sorta harboured a thing for chick singers. This is pure speculation on my part, however...

Ann Wilson -Voice,writing and playing ability. Annie Lennox,Stevie Nicks also & there was no room to add Carly Simon.

[Soto All The Way]

Amy Smith (Evernensense) sp?

e-

[Enigma869]

Ann Wilson wins this one, hands down! She is one woman who could always just flat out sing. I heard her live a couple of years ago, and she still sounded superb...such a powerful voice! I think she and Perry might be related


John from Boston

[Playitloudforme]

Amy Smith (Evernensense) sp?

e-

Close. Amy Lee of Evanescence. And yeah.. that girl kicks ASS.

[styxman]

I saw Ann Wilson tear the roof off the coliseum in my home town in 1978.

Was she looking for food?

That's funny dude Ronnie Spector for me, but Annie on the list

[SusieP]

These polls are tough, Shania!

Couldn't choose between Ann Wilson and Annie Lennox.
So I tossed a coin.
Lennox got my vote.

I could never understand the appeal of Joplin's voice. To my ears that wasn't singing. It was just a horrid noise.
And I always find Christine McVie's voice more haunting than Stevie's. Not a 'rock' voice, though, but it has a nice soothing tone to my ears.

[heardonthestreet]

Sass! A natural.

[*Laura]

Sass! A natural.

Ann!A winner.


And there are so many more that needed to be on that list,however they were mentioned in the posts.
The feminine side of rock is awesome...

[Behshad]

I still think she is better than Ann!!!

How right you are. Can you imagine if Journey's new vocalist was a sexy, lush beauty? Err, well he is, but I mean if the vocalist was a women? The threads on this board with these guys, would be a sex manual.

[larryfromnextdoor]

WOW!!! looks good here,, was it in DIRT or somewhere else that doc mcgee mentions going to litas and nikkis pad and stuff was flying around the room on its own ,, freaked him out big as it should... im going to play Blueberry in her honor right now,, then .. Lets get back to the cave... for a little while.. she rocks.

I agree about Joplin. Waste of flesh.

Has any band ever had as much talent in it as Fleetwood Mac? Love them.

Hey Lar, You got "Dangerous Curves" ?? If not, I'll hook you up man

[KCfla]

My vote is for Ann Wilson. Just saw Heart the other night. Her voice is still unbelievable.

You were at the King center too? Cool!
She is just amazing ( well, both of them were/are!)

Completely agree. I think the thing with Joplin was that she was the first "big star" of a certain genre of gutsy female vocalists. She was a soulful screamer. Nothing more really.

[Marc S]

Always thought Lita Ford and Joan Jett were a couple of old boilers to be honest?

Doesn't JJ do a bit of carpet munching these days with Thingy whatsherface Electra bird?
