Favorite Female Fronted Songs

[HarleyQuinn]

Given the thread on Portishead it got me to wondering what people's favorite songs are with female vocalists. Found a demo version of the song "Dreams" by The Cranberries and damn if it isn't as great as the mainstream one.

I almost feel as if this is where I post the entire Garbage library

I take a lot of shit for this, but there's something beautiful about Bif Naked's cover of "Nothing Else Matters".

I woke up this morning with "Linger" in my head. I certainly can't say they're my favourite, but I can't think of a Cranberries song I don't like.

The 90's station at work has really made me hate this one.

When I worked at a gas station Sirius tended to play the dance remix for some reason.

Ditto. Shirley Manson is awesome.

There needs to be some Mazzy Star in this thread. Hope Sandoval the lead singer is intoxicating and pouty.

The Kills have some good stuff as well. Alison Mosshart's voice is just dirty dark at times.

Now, Now or as they were previously known as Now, Now Every Children fronted by Cacie Dalager is one of my favorite little groups that no one knows about. I stumbled across them in the days of myspace. Seen them in Chicago on tour a few times. Pretty good small show with good energy.

As for some more recent stuff. I really dig Metric, Joy Formidable, Santigold.
