Like Koga, I will list female artists/groups that are on my playlist:
- Even though it doesn't really count, The Arcade Fire has a female vocalist that does lead vocals on two songs
- Blondie
- Bif Naked
- Courtney Love/Hole
- The Cranberries (probably my #1 female representation on my playlist)
- Ellen Reid (of Crash Test Dummies, who released a solo CD in 2001)
- Evanescence
- Garbage (I would list them as #2)
- Martha and the Muffins
- Melissa Auf Der Maur (former bassist for Hole/Smashing Pumpkins)
- Metric
- Nena
- No Doubt (not crazy about Gwen Stefani's solo stuff -- or the recent No Doubt stuff for that matter. But, the early stuff is great)
- Stevie Nicks
- Rough Trade
EDIT: Forgot some groups with female singers that are on an 80s complilation I have.
