    miki berenyi(?) and emma anderson. great vocal harmonies. i had a huge crush on miki in high school and i was at a show and she ran into me and stepped on my foot. she said sorry and i just stood there smiling and she walked away before i could say a word.

    Maybe it's the booze but my vote for the decades best female Alt singer goes 2 Christina Aguilera..... but only in Mash-up form. Otherwise she's just another music industry packaged voice. If you've listened to these gems than you know what I mean.

    1) A Stroke of Genius - (The Strokes vs. Christina Aguilera)
    2) Dirrty Stones - (Christina Aguilera vs.The Rolling Stones)
    3) Girl Wants (To Say Goodbye To) Rock and Roll - (Christina Aguilera vs. Velvet Underground vs. The Communards)
    3) Xtina is a Monkee - (Xtina vs. The Monkees)

    Would this have been late '80's? Did they stop in the middle of "Still in Hollywood" because of the moshing? That was a great show up until that point.
