I did like Delores O'Riordan when she came on the scene .

Cracking singer imo. Almost like a yodel.

I think wimmin singers must only take up about 5-10% of my music collection, off the top of my head ...

Gladys Knight
Doris Day
Blondie
Dusty Springfield
Dolly Parton
Imelda May
Kacey Musgraves
Etta James

... and quite a few others on country and soul compilations, it's not that I don't like any apart from the above but I would struggle to listen to a whole albums worth, I think country songs are probably the best suited to a female voice, some very talented ladies in that genre and I think although I have nothing by her Streisand has one of the best voices of all time just the material on the whole isn't my thing.

Philistines on here! 47 posts to get to the best female singer of all time.......Streisand. I'm not much on the material either,although the album Guilty she did with Barry Gibb is full of great stuff, but she has (had) a f***ing brilliant voice,second to none. Eva Cassidy runner up.

Proper ballsey singer iirc

How on earth the OP hasn't found what he believes to be a good female singer is beyond me. There's shitloads

Avril Lavigne. She's the best singer ever and the paragon of human virtue and beauty. I'd love to wear her ski....

Shit, wrong login!

[hypersonic]

Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs (or whatever she's doing now). Always loved her voice; doesn't feel the need to screech or try and overpower the instruments.

 

[GingerNick]

do you think he meant modern singers

as he cant have meant women like Aretha Franklin or Bonnie Rait

I am a big fan of Lissie Maurus
