Within Temptation Nightwish Epica The Cardigans ... Evanescence The Cranberries ABBA Almost all of my favorite bands have female leads.
Massive Attack doesn't have a female lead. They have various guest female vocalists on some of their songs, but the core members of the group are Grant Marshall (Daddy G) and Robert Del Naja (3D). Also, I'm a huge Sneaker Pimps fan and Becoming X is the only album they released with a female vocalist, and it is by far their worst. You should check out the albums Splinter and Bloodsport. 2 of my favorite albums ever!

Nice. I didn't think anyone would know or remember Velocity Girl around here. I was always surprised how many people would approach me and say something about them whenever I wore their shirt.

Where's the Rilo Kiley love? Jenny Lewis is not only hot, but she played the girl in The Wizard... which was the best 2 hour Nintendo commercial I've ever seen.
