FINE QUOTE BE THAT WAY.

@Kat: I lol'd reading that, it's so true. lol I don't want to sound mean or anything, but I'm much more apt to be super *** annoyed by a bad female singer than a bad male. That isn't to say some males can truly give them a run for their money, but in some of those cases it's because they sound like a bad female vocalist. haha

I think, its just that rock music has a masculine sound to it, just in the instrumentals alone. Its just the fact that a woman has to sound hard, to fit in to rock music. As country/pop/R+B have a more, somber, or an upbeat note. Women can sing that, and its great.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the best female rock vocalist of all time (unless i missed it) the one & only Janis Joplin.

Maybe I'm in the right genre (or wrong depending on the listener) but Arch Enemy, Iwrestledabearonce and Kitty all have female vocalists. As does Nightwish and Lacuna Coil. Granted, they're rock/metal bands, but still...

Nightwish and Within Temptation are good female vocalist bands that have been mentioned and mostly Autumn is another great band they have both male and female vocalists so you get a little of both in some songs or just male or female in other songs.

A female vocalist from a "band" that I can "tolerate" is the one from Collide; evidence presented:



There's other decent female vocalists, I don't just listen to one "genre," so I find them in various types of songs. The singer from Portishead isn't half-bad, either.

Ah... Death Note & Collide, it's obligatory that I post it...there's spoilers in the vid, though...I think:

I found this band after they had a song on the Queen of the Damned movie <.<

They're called KidneyThieves.I don't know if they've been signed to a record label yet and I had to get albums off their website. I dunno how to embed the video sorry.

Strangely enough...

My Sister's jobs in FFXI: 75RDM, 75WHM, 72SMN (Before AF Parties). Craft: Cloth.

My Mom's job: 75WHM. Craft: Cooking.

They weren't intentionally being stereotypical, they just gravitated toward the jobs and crafts that interested them.

Anyway, back to topic~

This isn't a "who can name female singer competition"...

I prefer male vocalists.
Don't know why, they just sound better to me.

Some female vocalists are great, but bands like Flyleaf and Paramore give me a headache. I don't think high pitched vocals mesh well with rock. Just my opinion.

Maybe it's me, but I don't think that's a band.
