Siouxsie and the Banshees Blondie The Go Gos The Suburban Lawns Sonic Youth (part-time) Joan Jett and the Blackhearts
Nancy Sinatra is rather easy on the eyes as well. That, and I like her voice.

Good pick - reminds me of The Sundays. They don't have a female lead singer. They do have songs in which female singers have guested on - such as Tracy Thorn of Everything but the Girl (another great band), Liz Fraser (of the Cocteau Twins) and Sinead O'Connor.
And even though I don't have any of their stuff, one band that is always mentioned as one of the best in alternative and indie circles is Sleater-Kinney. I think TheFreak is a big fan of them but I might be mistaken on that one.
Yep, I want to buy the solo album of her (dolores o'riordan) <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Lxc3O4mQV74&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Lxc3O4mQV74&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
I really liked Hammerbox from Seattle. Carrie Akre has an amazing voice. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/uZHm8cEAl8o&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/uZHm8cEAl8o&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
Whatever band the Pixies chick formed back in the day. Yeah yeah yeahs are definitely a goodie, one of the few newer bands I actually like.
Queenadreena - Jolene <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/iRITy-v0r7Y&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/iRITy-v0r7Y&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> Another Dolly parton cover. Vocals aren't amazing but the band is pretty tight which IMO isn't often when a chick is on lead vocals.
