Fiona is a musical and lyrical monster. Unmatched. (With alot of help from her producer).

Then would be Liz Phair, then Blondie, then Chrissy Hynde.

I came in this thread thinking everyone would miss this and never say her.

but she is so badass

which reminds me, whatever did happen to En Vogue? they were freaking hot, and props for listing Lady Saw.

 

[Star Power]

The lead singer got all Diva-ish and left, did a solo album which flopped, formed a short-lived group with Raphael Saddiq , left that group in less than a year, did another solo album. and.. I think they reunited again and did an album that had a semi-hit.. I vagugely remember them wearing purple in the video... and now they're on the latest stevie wonder single, along with prince.


...

don't ask me how I know this. I'm not a closet En vogue fan.

Adding to some of what's already been mentioned

Can't believe Missy Elliot hasn't been mentioned yet!

[Desperado]

Alanis Morissette?! UGHHHHHHHHH

 

[Odnetnin]

you have NO taste.

I want to add Gwen Stefani - Love Angel Music Baby is quite good

Second Missy Elliot. Fantastic

 

[Diablos]

"A Women" - Is that a new girl group or something?

 

[Alyssa Hu$tle]

Missy Higgins is pretty cool - I love her strong Aussie accent. And Norah Jones has a damn impressive voice.

Does Jeffersen Airplane count or any bands with women fronting?

 

[Guzim]

[mightynine]

I'll agree with Guzim and add a couple of my own of more recent selections (and one that's not)

Does Jeffersen Airplane count or any bands with women fronting?

I wouldn't say so, nearly all of Jefferson Airplane's songs were collaboratively written and Grace Slick didn't even sing in all of the band's tracks. Although I'm aware that tracks such as White Rabbit were nearly entirely Grace's work, it's a question of best albums, so I'd say it'd be a sefer bet to go with albums that were written and performed entirely by females.

Speaking of which, kudos to those who mentioned PJ Harvey earlier, I happen to be listening to The Dancer right now and it's an absolutely outstanding song on an excellent album.

 

[Ford Prefect]

I agree with the Kim Deal posts.

 

[Flynn]

Some good posts:

Bjork, Blondie, PJ Harvey, Kim Deal, Cat Power, etc. are all great mentions.

But don't forget:

Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn and Nina Simone.
