I know more singers than musicians, but curious to look at those you put.

But I really love Lindsey Stirling! :D

I love this... It's so dynamic, and fresh! Thanks for sharing this! I include singers in the phrase "musicians", in fact, other than mixing the tracks, and writing lyrics; singing is What Maja does for the sounds.

My top four, I couldn't decide on the fifth.

This is such a cool thing to do! I've always felt inspired and empowered by kick ass musical women!!

In no particular order: :P

Joan Jett
Demi Lovato (I've seen her twice live!)
Jenny Lewis
Pink
The Veronicas (I'm going to see them live in NYC in June!! So excited!!)
Taylor Swift
The Runaways
Carrie Underwood

Personally, I think my choices say more about my age than musical tastes. Lol.

Post by: Jill F on May 20, 2015, 03:07:24 PM
Did I forget Lita Ford?

I actually ran into her on Friday night at the Ronnie James Dio thingy.

Oh yes, and Tal Wilkenfeld is amazeballs.  I saw her with Jeff Beck a couple of times.  Jeff actually let her do all the leads on "Freeway Jam".

Lindsey Stirling? Check.
Alison Goldfrapp? Check.
Laura Marling? Check.

I wanted to bump this because nobody mentioned Claire Elise Boucher, otherwise known by her stage name Grimes. I absolutely adore her as a musician and person. I recently bought Visions, Darkbloom and Art Angels and she's now my favourite artist.

Some people complained about Art Angles for sounding too "mainstream". Personally, I shy away from anyone who criticises music on those grounds.

I have Flesh Without Blood on repeat.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv9YoYCKNoE

I know Sia has been mentioned. I've been listening to Chandelier at least once a day the past week and checked out her other singles. I quite like her music and Maddie Ziegler is a grand mix of adorbs and crazy-awesome.

Title: Re: Favorite female musicians
Post by: KerryJK on April 03, 2016, 02:46:49 PM

I could list so many - I'll try and list my top 5 (for today at least)

t Vincent - one of the world's best musicians period.

The Haim sisters - still waiting for them to release a record that does their live act justice, search YouTube for their version of Fleetwood Mac's 'Oh Well'

Nina Simone - an icon

Delia Derbyshire - an innovator

Angela Gossow - a game changer in terms of what women could do in rock
