Create a playlist. Strong female singers

[WeAreOnTheRoadToNowhere]

I'm putting together a playlist and looking for suggestions
Female singers
I like belting it out in the car when I'm alone
My 2 favourite singers are Mary Coughlan and Kirsty MacColl. Florence and the machine, 4 non blondes and Alanis Morissette are sounds I like and sing along with
Can you add anything?

Horse
Regina Spektor

Anna Calvi

Skunk Anansie (a band rather than solo but Skin's voice is amazing))
Meredith Brookes
Janis Joplin

I've recently discovered Hannah Williams and The Affirmations, particularly The Only Way Out is Through, she is fantastic! Proper belter!

So many great ideas! Has sent me down a YouTube rabbit hole.

Haven’t seen mentioned yet:
Brandi Carlile
Nena

Fiona Apple

Mostly bands rather than solo artists, but either all female or female fronted:

Bad Cop/Bad Cop
Delilah Bon
Nova Twins
The Interrupters
Janelle Monáe

My votes would be-
Kelly Clarkson (I Dare You, People Like Us)
Delta Goodrem (Mistaken Identity, Sitting on Top of the World)
Sara Bareilles (She Used to be Mine, Fairytale)
Taylor Swift (Would've Could've Should've, State of Grace)
Beth Crowley (I Didn't Ask For This, Warrier)
Carrie Underwood (Good Girl, Blown Away)
Christina Aguilera (Fighter, You Lost Me)
Halsey (Nightmare, Control)
Avril Lavigne (Head Above Water, Keep Holding On)
Miley Cyrus (Midnight Sky)
The Chicks (Not Ready to Make Nice)
Devon Cole (W.I.T.C.H)
The Pretty Reckless (Witches Burn, House on a Hill)
Halestorm (Bombshell, I Am The Fire)

If you like loud punky stuff, Gen and the Degenerates, Amyl and the Sniffers, Juliette and the Licks/ Juliette Lewis

No-one seems to have mentioned Blondie

Shirley Bassey?

I drove all night (Celine Dion)

Lorrie Morgan current fave "Something in Red"

Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera, and Celine Dion all have very strong voices.
Jewel

Rebekah Del Rio

@napody How have I never heard Dolores Keane before. Thank you for that.

Anything by self esteem. Prob some fucking wizardry or prioritise pleasure

Also I used to love Elastica (mainly women) and I like the big moon. Also Emmy the great, and my dd loves a singer called jade bird. Oh and the front woman of the Mysterines. And Alanis morrisette

Christina Aguilera
London Grammar (female lead)
Jessie Ware
Kelly Clarkson
Pink
All Saints
Gabrielle

The Mysterines

Patty Loveless atm a favourite is "On your way home"
Lorrie Morgan "You've got 5 Minutes"

Goldfrapp!!!!!

Also another vote for PJ Harvey.

I also love Toni Halliday's voice (singer from Curve, she also turns up on Leftfield). Slightly goth.

Grace Slick
Brittany Howard (Alabama Shakes)
Christina Scabbia
Tina Turner
Hayley Williams (Paramore)

This is a great thread, I have a female only playlist on Spotify too and will be adding a load of new stuff off the back of this. I would add (if not already mentioned)

The Indigo Girls
Joan Jett
Patti Smith
KT Tunstall
Peggy Lee
Bananarama
Madonna (earlier stuff mostly before she disappeared up her own arse)
PJ Harvey
Joan Armatrading
Alison Krauss
