Arch Enemy is fucking awesome. but omgz what about evanesence?

Author:  Eternus [ Thu Aug 24, 2006 12:02 pm ]
Post subject: 

Yeah Evanesence has a female lead singer, but they are kinda mainstream imo. Otep sucks but their singer is female.... hmm same with Kittie or whatever their name is.

Few that I didn't see up there.

Tigarah Japanese and American lyrics
Lacuna Coil

I don't think Arch Enemy can count as a "female vocal" band because I swear, even knowning beforehand that it's a woman "singing", it still sounds like a man.

Im not a huge fan of female vocals. Mostly because the songs are from a female perspective and Im just not down with that lol.


Beth Gibbons (Portishead)
Shirley Manson (Garbage)

lol I generally dont openly mention that I like Garbage, but I just like her they way she sings. Its pretty awesome.

Thats all I can think off right off the top of my head.

there are a lot of things i love about girls, but singing isn't one of them. i think drain sth is probably the closest thing to a good female-fronted band, but they still suck

I love Bjork, I have all her albums.

I semi-like:

Fleetwood Mac
Cranberries
Portishead
Yeah Yeah Yeah (I like that one song, "Maps")
Garbage
Sade

There are a few tracks I like off the Garden State soundtrack with women vocs, but I can't think of who they are right now.

Nightwish and Arch Enemy are fine by me. I like Arch Enemy more due to the guitarwork and I have actually seen them live and they performed well. I mentioned Wicked Wisdom mainly due to that it is fronted by a female celebrity that is a hollywood actress. I don't like them musically though. I used to like the Pixies and the Breeders some. I saw the Breeders open for Nirvana in Jacksonville when I was in ninth grade (1993 I think). My biggest memory from that concert was someone throwing their shoe at Kim Diel (spelling?) and the Breeders go off stage. Shortly afterward Kurt Cobain came out and said "thats not cool" pretty much and the Breeders kept on playing. Both bands dissapointed me live from a guitarist's perspective which changed how I looked at them from that point onward. I am not talking about fucked over by the soundman either. Just sloppy, but maybe they were both off.
