| Good female fronted rock bands So I'm just listening to Kidneythieves "Feathers" just now (thanks to the "you must hear" thread), and reflecting how much I like female vocalists in rock bands - it just seems to sound nice and sexy. I'm talking actual vocals, not the sounds of female grunting whilst popping out a wean that I associate with the perenially shite band Kittie.
Anybody got any suggestions?

PJ Harvey ain't bad. I was listening to her just the other day, and she can be far to sexy for my own good.
Dresden Dolls - Amanda Palmer is an all-round wonderful lady.
