That's most of the ones I can think of without digging through CDs. There's another British band on the tip of my brain, but I can't quite think of their name. Ah well.

Look up anything Amanda Palmer has done and you'll be happy. She is an amazing performer and a lovely person as well...

If you like psychobilly the the HorrorPops are the way to go...

Civet, Diamanda Galas and Madelaine Peyroux also come to mind, depending on your genre preferences.
[/quote]The Sisters of Mercy - wait, no, this is the odd one out. Andrew Eldritch is a *****, though, does that count?[/quote]
yes and no ... he is a horrible excuse for a *****, yes, but no one should debase women, or humans in general, by comparing that turd to them...
I still like his music though.

Yes x 5lithium.jelly said:
Say what you will about Amy Lee of Evanescence but the power of her voice could peel paint off the walls.
Joni Mitchel or Aretha Franklin. I love Joni Mitchel because I really like her song writing style, especially for Don Juans Reckless Daughter album. And Aretha Franklin cause she really is the queen of soul, like Jimi Hendrix, you mostly go through the live stuff.
Amanda Palmer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea18wSkrK5g], for sure. Oh, and Garbage [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_bo7dHgz1g]. And definitely Chrissy Hynde, from The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YA3hZEDPNI] Pretenders [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CF_kUB_mdmA].
Alison Mosshart.
She has the best female voice in rock imo.
Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane has to be mentioned.
Karin Dreijer Andersson of The Knife and Fever Ray is also amazing.
