Bands with female lead singers suck

[micawber]

Not influential bands, but ones I have enjoyed in the past (!)

- Heart

- Girlschool

[swede]

Not meant to be a sexist rant. - Just simply can't seem to enjoy any band with a female lead singer. Think the closest I can get is Arcade Fire. Love Arcade fire but she's not really the lead singer.

When I see a band like Paramore it just doesn't work for me. It's just not quite right. Can anyone name any good bands with female lead singers? Is this a bloke thing or is it just a me thing?

the OP is clearly a prune.

Did anyone mention Evanescence?

If so my fault...

Then again.. I might be the only person on this forum to quite like them?

Atari Teenage Riot.... in part

[micawber]

Oops. Forgot .... Fight Like Apes

[brighteyes]

Just a tad closed-minded, eh?

[Dave The Hedgehog]

To be honest I think I might just be sexist though, as quite a few of my favourite bands have male singers with very high voices - e.g. Sigur Ros, Aereogramme, William Hut, Unified Theory, A-ha.

Love & a .45, were a great band but the girl's groaning does my head in.

Well, four pages of people naming female fronted bands. How many of these bands are actually

1) any good

2) worth watching

3) Influential

4) Successful

Off the top of my head:

Nightwish - Play arenas all around Europe, Sell out academies over here in no time at all.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Third from top at Reading last year

Within Temptation - Played high on second and mid-mainstage at Download, again big in Europe

Sonic Boom Six - Up and comers, but quality act.

The Distillers - not around anymore but had some quality tunes

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts - Were awesome supporting Green Day at Wembley.

Arch Enemy - Pretty big in heavier circles

The Donnas - Some good tunes, never made it big though

Garbage - played second from top at Download in 2005, not been around much since

Evanescence - Ok, not great, but Amy Lee's voice is more powerful so works better than Hayley William's in a sub-headlining spot at a festival (Download 2007).

If there is nothing for the OP among those, he's got issues that go deeper than this!

And I should have remembered Lacuna Coil! They were in a mental blind spot!

I had a vague memory of a female singer joining another band onstage at Download one year, turns out it was Christina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil joining Apocalyptica! Not sure how I forgot them!

Evanescence ..

So this thread pritty much confirms girl fronted bands are good, but not as good as male fronted bands.
