    There are female singers for almost every genre of music now so I guess this really depends on what kind of music you like.
    Some good mentions already I will put out a few of my favorites that I haven't seen mentioned.

    Wow! I just skimmed the first four pages and I can't believe this is the first mention of Debbie Harry. Sexiest voice in Rock as far as I'm concerned. I'm learning how to play Call Me on drums.

    Which was just a riff on Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues, which was itself just a riff on Chuck Berry's Too Much Monkey Business. The difference being that those two songs were great while Rapture is IMO among the weakest Blondie songs.
