The Wonderful Women Of Music

You read it, now list 'em!

Oh, and I like Marisa Monte, the Brazilian singer and member of the Tribalistas - I like her voice, and she don't look half bad either. Meg White is nice too - and rather well-endowed, might I add ;). And Kate Bush can take down my particulars any day of the week (if she felt like cheating on her boyfriend).

There are probably a few more...

Forums: The Bar,

Dude I had such a fixation with the song "Wuthering heights" for a brief period in the mid 90's.

Candice, the singer from Walls of Jericho

peaches, cat power, kim gordon, siouxie sioux, the coolies.

Yeah Kim Gordon but I'd rather have a girl cool as Kim Deal.

My first one was gonna be the singer from Cat Power.

- Morgan lander from kittie
- Lita Ford
- Pat Benatar.

Joan armatrading; love and affection, great lyrics and delivery.
laurie Anderson; sharkeys day.
kate bush; suspened in gaffa, my computer
Lisa coleman; 1999
Carol Kaye; good vibrations any one?
Mshell ndegeocello; best thing for bass since marcus miller.
Diana Ross and Tammi Terrel; the duets with Marvin gaye, Ross and the supremes "how long has that
evening train been gone" is probably James Jamersons tour de force on
electric bass.
Wendy Melvon: are you my Baby? criminally under-rated writer and player.
Kim Deal: gigantic indeed.
gladys Knight: midnight train to georgia.
Tina Weymouth; another under-rated female player, collosal feel.
Shiela Estravada: phenon drums, check her solo on the charlie parker tune on the live sign o' the times
by Prince c.1988.
Bilie holiday and Nena Simone; influential infinite.
and last but not least, the greatest vocalist of all time Ms. Aretha Franklin, I'll post "rock steady", insert your own from here.

//- Morgan lander from kittie

talena is wayy hotter, shame kitties music sucks thou

she quit/fired ages ago now

Almost every girl I dated in high school owned at least one Pat Benatar record.

yer i know, its made kittie alot crapper

Tracy Thorn from Everything But The Girl, Missy Elliot, Diamanda Galas (in principle :), Beth Orton, Chan Marshall from Cat Power, Tweet, Laetitia Sadier from Stereolab, Polly Jean Harvey, Bahamadia, Apani B Fly MC, Aaliyah, Kim Gordon, Pauline Oliveros, Tina Weymouth from Talking Heads and The Tom-Tom Club (although I don't like her vocals), Roisin Murphy from Moloko, Nina Simone, Björk and (for old times sake) Bilinda Butcha from My Bloody Valentine and Toni Halliday from Curve...

I forget her name, but the woman from the Cardigans always seemed really cool in interviews. Still keen to check out 'Gran Turismo' sometime. Oh, and Sarah Cracknell from St Etienne is kind of the same, don't necessarily like St Etienne that much, but do like how she presents herself.

+ Sinead O'Connor (who admittedly, I haven't even bothered to keep up with...), the girls from ESG, and Sade Adu from Sade.

Well it seems that you chaps have covered pretty much the list of note worthies....
Joan Armatrading
Sade, Dimond Life played in the dark........*sigh*
Billy Holiday.. southern trees
kd Lang..Ingenue
and never forget the Devine Ms M for pure guts

Pat Benatar
Joan Jett
Melissa Auf Der Maur
Tori Amos

I know more I like, but can't be bothered remembering at the moment.

Pat Benetar for sure! Have you heard her new song? They're playing it on Hauraki...nothing special, but she rocks the house on legend status anyway.

and does alannah myles count? she's the only one that hasn't been listed that I can think of right now, if she's that highly regarded.

yeah I think I've heard it, ok nothing special

Paz Lenchantin

yes, female bassists rock!!

Aww, c'mon. She has buck teeth.

Sorry, didn't know we were judging on looks. I was going for skillz & all-round coolness.

she's a dog, and she sucks at bass. who are you kidding?

Nyeh..she's not bad. Skills she has.

shes quite talented - bass, violin & singing.
I think shes pretty I don't care about her teeth.

I guess her voice is nice too...

OK, I take back every nasty thing I said about her...

she actually made Billy sound better with her back up vocals

Yeah. "Here....comes my faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaith". Be-yoo-tiful.

//Female bassists rock
Kim Gordon, Kim Deal and Sean Yseult are 3 of my favs.

Amy Lee....

*rolls eyes*

WOT WOT?!

I'll repeat it for you if you didn't hear..
*rolls eyes*..
hahaha..Who is she..well my turn *rolls eyes*

aaahhh!!! Amy Lee = gurl with a cute face and the voice of a angel (on the album anyway) she is the singer of evanescence incase ya didn't know LC!!!

Cool. She's a-eight. She's pretty buzzy.

The Runaways ~ Lita, Joan nuff said.
The Go Go's - Jane Wiedlin rocks
The Bangles - Susanna Hoffs and a string of classic 80's pop hits
and Wendy James of Transvision vamp, sooo hot.

Poe and Liz Phair should probably get a mention.

Nico

yess!!! POE!! 'Haunted' is one of my all time favs!!!

Jewel before she sold out, why Jewel why??

Samantha Maloney, one of the best female rock drummers

Jewel has wanted to [i]always[/i] go in that direction, so in theory she hasn't sold out she's just reached her goal. And plus i think she's being tongue and cheek ;)

she did?? thats sad.
I thought she was only taking the piss with her first new song, but from what I've heard the others sound like that too.

tama, how on earth would you know if jewel had sold out?

don't you know what that term means??

jewel is absolutely horrible.

her new stuff is, but her old songs were good

//her new stuff is, but her old songs were good

yeh i suppose your right Tama, in fact i myself havent liked her from day one, shes only now going down the more horrible and terrifying Britney lane and shes what 30 years old.

//I thought she was only taking the piss with her first new song, but from what I've heard the others sound like that too.

Sorry whoops i meant to say she wanted to go that way in her sound because she wanted to produce big band music in a modernised way or something. Yeah "Intuition" is a pisstake. To be honest alot of her old songs were rather boring though some of them were her best.
