Apologises for reviving old thread

Toyah and Hazel O'Connor deserve to be in that list.

Claudia Brucken too!

Chris

Agreed on Hazel , Chris . Saw her in small club Bray Co Dublin 1991. Played a blinder La Wilcox I can take or leave. Lisping Midlanderesses don't weally float my boat La (or should that be "die") Brucken ,I don't know too much by her but I love "Duel"

und blow by blow der pesshion dies

Edit time : just gone through the thread and I haven't put Polly Jane Harvey in either !!! Blasphemous

Amy Winehouse is a great singer too, but its just not my type of music.
If she adds a load of synths, dyes her hair blue.....then shes in with a shout.

My current favourite female vocalist is lovely Iisa Pajula from a Finnish synthpop band Regina. Just look at her! > http://www.reginaregina.com/imgs/kuvat/promo/hires/regina-promo1.jpg

What about Amy Lee

I agree with your choices of Kate Bush and Shirley Manson

Oh yeah, update in order -

Kate Bush
Debbie Harry
Stevie Nicks
Shirley Manson
Amy lee
Cristina Scabbia

This space is reserved for miss Winehouse
if she brings some CR-78's and Minimoog's along.

There are some fabulous female vocalists in the world of blues music. Two of my faves are Billie Holiday and Etta James.

For all 007 fans Dame Shirley Bassey...

Yes! I bought the singles 1969-1981 collection of The Carpenters years back. Her voice and her interpretation of songs, especially Superstar is awesome.
