I was remiss in not nominating Annie Lennox for her singing while with the Eurythmics.

Also Maryam Mursal from Somalia.

Can’t let this thread hit 200 posts without Jennifer Charles being mentioned.

Also no love for Nat Bas in Rogue Traders?

Definitely up there. Amazing voice. Could knock over a table with that power.

Anyone mentioned Kate Pearson?

From B-52’s? Add Cindy Wilson too, her lead vocals were great, especially on “Give Me Back My Man”.

Ah. Was late to it starting and got too excited to read all of the posts.

Heh, turns out Alissa can sing clean as well

You’ve gotta admire a chick who goes “Yeah, I’m going to wear a leather skirt today.”

Lots of singers being named here that although they may be good singers, are about as ‘rock’ as Julie Andrews.
