Any good female singers/vocalists to recommend?

[Morning Blue]

I think Cindy and Kate from the B-52's have pretty good vocals. I don't know if you're into their kind of music, though (i.e. not just Love Shack, Rock Lobster, and Roam).

I agree. I have their Cosmic Thing LP (on record) and their greatest hits (on CD). I absolutely love Cosmic Thing.

Madonna is good too, if you are into that style. Personally, I love her 80s songs, rather than her newer ones.

Bjork, Fox N' Wolf and The Kills have been the only female-vocals groups that have ever stuck my chords. At least, that I can remember right now.

I'm sure there were others but I adore girls singing about waking up in a naked, hung over mess in there own vomit. Made for a great party song.

OH: And The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Heart, Ladytron, April March, Technotronic, Lil' Mama.
Also a lot of Jazz acts like Astrud Gilberto and Koop score some great female vocalists. Especially in Koop Island Blues.
But you could always go with Ella Fitzgerald.

EDIT: The Le Tigre songs where they don't sound like vegans.
SUPER EDIT: Stereolab.
Sorry it's taking me a while.
Gloria Estefan got me dancing for sure though.

EDIT: THE GO! TEAM

I apologize for hitting like 15 genres you probably won't like, but The Go! Team is actually good though. And The Kills.
