Thought I haven't listened to them much at all in the last two years, I'll post a link to my favorite song from

. I don't know if the AMV is any good... She actually reminds me a lot of Celtic Woman.

DragnBerth's links are solid; I'll add Sinergy's Passage to the Fourth World, but the vocal quality isn't the best IMO. It isn't very well defined in the mix, kind of dull.

Metric and Garbage are good bands with talented vocalists. I also like the girl from Paramore, her voice is pretty solid IMO.

Dang, can't believe I forgot Within Temptation. Truth be told, though, the only time I actually hear any of these bands (with the exception of Nightwish) is on Pandora or through YouTube, lol.

Listened to the Sinergy song. I liked it, although I'd have to agree the vocals were kind of dull... in the sense that they were very typical of what one might expect from a Power Metal band thats just getting started. Still good, though.

Some others I just realized I forgot:

After Forever

It's alllllllllllllllllll about PJ Harvey (I'm completely and utterly obsessed with her (she is a goddess))

I don't know of any performer who is as emotionally direct, challenging yet also accessible musically, or fucking sexy as she is. And I love how she tries a different approach with each album. The fact that she recorded one of the best albums of all time in "Rid of Me" at the age of 23 (with her backing band) is staggering. Certainly one of the best female artists there ever was.

A separate post, because I <3 PJ too much to put another artist in the same post. I'm big a fan of Joanna Newsom, especially her first album. Mostly her songwriting/harp playing, though her singing is certainly unique and not nearly as annoying as people make it out to be.

I like this band White Magic a lot, especially their vocalist. She reminds me of Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane, who I'm also a fan of.

I like The Breeders a lot. Kim Deal has a very cute voice.

There are like a billion female artists I need to get into. My music collection is way too male-dominated.

I like Tori Amos:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajJBwiZzc5M&feature=related <--- here she plays with snakes and rats

Mostly her older stuff, her voice is not as great since she's now like 50.
