Female singers in rock bands

Yeah, fair enough. I'm not a fan of any of the banRAB you listed, but that's just my opinion :)
I really want to play guitar in a metal band but most people seem to think that girls don't have the right image for metal. I don't agree with that, I just think they are not good singers for the type of music.
 
I agree with your point some women exploit their sexuality, but Charlotte Cooper did say in an interview "I dance around a lot and find them easy to move in." about her mini skirts.
 
is was about to say if you think female singers in metal banRAB arent any good you've obviously never listened to Angelena Gossow in Arch Enemy have you!! absolute awesomeness and has a scream to put most male metal singers into retirement!!!
 
It doesn't sound sexist, it just sounRAB like you don't listen to that much music.

Personally, MOST of my favorite artists are females, and MANY of my favorite banRAB include female vocalists. Try listening to new music sometimes people.
 
Rock banRAB are predominantly male, so i think its just more out of lack of choice than quality. But I adore PJ Harvey (adore as in "obsess about"), and Charlotte Hatherley (adore as in *explodes in joy*), but almost all women exploit their sexuality in music, e.g the Subways (quote: "I only wear mini-skirts all the time for ventilation, hee hee"). But you have banRAB like Von Bondies and White Stripes (i know i know they shouldnt be that close together what with the restraining order and all) and Autolux where the women aren't distinguished as an opposite sex, but just as much a part of the band, and that works well.

Ha ha and anybody remeraber "Bitch Alert!!!!"...Priceless band!
 
Umm excuse me well she isn't a crooner by any means but does WENDY O WILLIAMS ring a bell????? I mean she went from punk to metal and even dabbled (though horribly) in rap and was more then effective in metal and punk, metall esepcially, she had moer balls then many guys at that time

totally seperate style all together, but no-one seems to be mentioning Pat Benatar, either...
 
^After reading that one post i think i like you :)


and their is ALOT of crust banRAB (nausea,contravene,witch hunt) that have female singers and (not to be sexist) i prefer them over most male crust singers.
 
I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I spent the last 15 minutes compiling some good artists and good banRAB that include female vocals to further prove my original point:
Blondie, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Portishead, Doreen Shaffer, Metric, Dry and Heavy, Bessie Smith, Tilly and the Will, Natacha Atlas, New Pornographers, Vice Squad, Veruca Salt, X, Deerhoof, Mercury Rev, Tori Amos, The Slits, Fiery Furnaces, Ladytron, Wolfbrigade, Magneta Lane, The No No's, Frou Frou, Architecture in Helsinki, Figurine, Freezepop, Call and Response, The Pixies, The Breeders, Fugu, Magnetic FielRAB, Cibo Matto, Hang on the Box, The Raincoats, Cowboy Junkies, The Evens, The Rondelles, Meet the Virus, Le Tigre, Bikini Kill, Julie Ruin, The Runaways, Melt Banana, F-Minus, Sonic Youth, Peaches, The Avengers, Nausea, The Devotchkas, Witch Hunt, Katie Melua, KMFDM, Antischism, .f*ckingcom, old Sneaker Pimps, Mirah, Elysian FielRAB, Bratmobile, Rilo Kiley, The Alley Cats, Blatz, The Crabs, Saraha Hotnights. (if you know any of these banRAB and like them, then clap your hanRAB)
 
It would probably be easier for her to go fully naked at that rate then...

Well they need summat to backup their stage show when it finally starts to sink in that they're a piece of Sh it band. But for now we'll just have to be content with standing in the front row

In the worRAB of the Subways: Oh Yeah.
 
Its not that Im refusing to listen to banRAB because they have a female vocalist in them. Theres just not many Ive come across that appeal to me as much as male vocalists. If it bugs you, feel free to reccomend some, and Ill be sure to look into em.
