BellaOnline Forums Books and Music Women In Music Favorite Female Musicians???

I'm curious to know who all of you are listening to. Let me know who your favorite female musicians are. I'll start off the list in no specific order:

♥ Joanna Newsom
♥ Bjork
♥ Ani Difranco
♥ Regina Spektor
♥ Tori Amos

Okay, so I could really go on forever. It's hard for me to choose one favorite. I encourage everyone to list as many as you'd like. Have fun!

I love Amy Lee of Evanescence - she has such an amazing voice!

Stevie Nicks - the emotion in her voice & delivery are her attributes

she does have a beautiful voice!

Stevie Nicks voice carries such a raw emotion, something that [I think] is lacking in a lot of female talent today.

Due to my preference & the period of my life most influenced by those music styles, I still like listening to:

- Chrissie Hynde (Pretenders)
- Pat Benatar
- Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart)

They made great strides into the female presence in the style of Rock & Roll that got tagged with 'Arena Rock'

Chrissy Hynde is awesome, as is Heart. I have many childhood memories relating to both artists! Thanks for your input.

Martina McBride, Tracy Chapman, Natalie Merchant, Queen Latifah, Fiona Apple, Indigo Girls, Sarah Mclachlan, Joss Stone, Melissa Etheridge, Jewel, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette...oh my gosh I can't choose just one!

Hi Elisha, one of my favourite musicians is Errollyn Wallen � an eclectic musician, singer, composer, conductor, etc. She was awarded an MBE for her services to music in the Queen�s Birthday Honours list in June 2007.

In Feb 2010 she climbed Mt Kilimanjaro with a roll-up piano to raise funds for children. (Mt Kilimanjaro is the highest mountain in Africa, the tallest free-standing mountain in the world and the largest volcano ever to break through the earth's crust!) An amazing woman! (JOY)
