When I ask my friends to name their top female rock singers they always name Pat Benetar, Stevie Nicks, Janis Joplin, Tina Tuner and maybe also bands like Heart or even the Pointer Sisters. While there is nothing to say against these nominees I am all out for presenting you upcoming and recent talent. Before you read on close your eyes and think of the first two or three female rock singers that have emerged through the past decade. What do you come up with?
To mind comes Anastacia who has a versatile voice that could sing rock as well as R&B or blues. Though her latest album released in 2008 is not a rock album, she definitely could have made it to this list. Just think of -- Left Outside Alone.
Same with Pink who won the Grammy Awards in 2004 for her song --Trouble, I believe the last woman so far to have been presented with a Grammy for lead vocal rock. And who has proved her rock-ability on her 2006 album -- I´m Not Dead including --You And And Your Hand.
But my favorites include neither of them! Here it is, my personal list of top female rock songs:
1. I Get Off -- by Halestorm from the album Halestorm (2009)
Lzzy Hale of Halestorm has one of the most powerful rock voices at the moment, and almost any song from the album could have been named here. Halestorms music style is somewhat classic rock oriented but very modern sounding, melodic and powerful. The song sounds just like it is named in fact.
2. Ghetto Love -- by Spinnerette from the album Ghetto Love (2009)
Lead singer Brody Dalle has a dirty punky voice, she can sound sensual, erotic and very hard almost at the same time. Spinerette´s music is more punk oriented alternative rock. Brody Dalle also produced several great rock songs with her former band The Distillers. Although this is nothing to do with Brody Dalle at all her image and music reminds me of the comic --Tank Girl.
3. Cassie -- by Flyleaf from the album Memento Mori (2009)
Lacey Mosley´s voice is slightly reminiscent of Alanis Morisette, she could easily bring off mainstream pop songs but Flyleaf lay down an instrumental background situated somewhere between post-grunge and nu-metal, very melodic and still hard rocking alternative modern music.
Whatever you think of my choice of top female rock songs you will agree that there is a lot more ladies of rock out there to be discovered, and it is a lot of fun doing just this.
