Lacuna Coil, they are awesome.

Not a major fan of female vocalists, but I've just got a hold of an album by a DC hardcore-esque band called 1905, who use a female vocalist and a male vocalist to great effect

Check em out.

Also, whatever band Brody Dalle (sp?) is in, they are alright. Forgotten then name now though, because I don't listen to them much.

Could try the following if your into metal...

Octavia Seperati (Drummer is the only none girl band member)
Leaves Eyes
Midnattsol
Mandrake
Arch Enemy
The Donnas (All girl Again)
McQueen
Tsunami Bomb
Faders (More all girl action

)
Kittie
Epica
Grethcen
After Forever
Knightwish (Although not sure on who they plan on replacing Tarja with just yet)
Lunatica
Xandria
Inkubbus Sukkubus
Theatres Des Vampires

Think that should keep you busy

Yes I like my female vocal Metal

Angelica and Sleater-Kinney.

Angelica were a sort of pop indie rock thing... I loved them, no one else seemed to though!

Sleater-Kinney are a great rock band. I understand they used to be much more punky, but recently they're just a good rock band

And Brody's in The Distillers, Carzy

It hurts.

In fact, if I was to sing a song right now, I'd probably sound like you.

Have a listen to Lucie Silvas. Her voice sends shivers up me.

she might well be, but i believe she's the singer in Melissa Auf Der Maur (ex Hole bassist iirc, though)

Aimee Mann is by far my favourite female vocalist, although not fronting a band per se she is awesome.

Also:
Kim Deal (of the Breeders, and also sings on some Pixies tracks)
Visqueen
Blondie
Charlotte Hatherley (of Ash, but also has a solo album out)
Imogen Heap (of Frou Frou, and again does solo stuff)
Allison Goldfrapp
Courtney Love (of Hole - despite being the spawn of satan, I think this list would be incomplete without her)
Emily Haines (of Metric and Broken Social Scene)

/edit: just remembered Geko, can't remember which member of these boards was in that band, but their vocalist was very good :cool:

Yup.

Also, The Duke Spirit (you might like them, I'm not a big fan), and has been mentioned just, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who are brilliant.
