Cat Power.....just seen her on Letterman last night. Great voice.

[Hellheart]

Female singers with great lyrics can get me to listen to bands I'd otherwise not.

Shirley Manson from Garbage, an awesome person besides

Maria from Battery, she put a lot of feeling into their non-experimental songs

Jussi Gamache from Freezepop

Jessicka Fodera, formerly from Jack off Jill and now singing for Scarling.

The other three girls that started Jack off Jill

Le Tigre, all of them, lol

Tairrie B from My Ruin, sultry voice and great lyrics

Shikhee from Android Lust, possibly the first woman to both sing in and compose industrial music, certainly the most well-known (Erica Dunham from Unter Null is the only other one I recall offhand)

Amanda Palmer from The Dresden Dolls. Awesome songwriter.

[Fierce Critter]

Never - NEVER - ceases to amaze me that no matter how late I come into a conversation like this, nobody has yet mentioned my favorite, even as an aside.

Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders.

For me, it's a tossup between the simply fantastic talent coming from her in everything from voice to songwriting to guitar playing and the way she never used her being female as any kind of crutch/excuse/identifier for what she has done and achieved.

That said, also on my list would be

Kate Bush

Cyndi Lauper

Enya

Anne Wilson and Nancy Wilson of Heart

The Pretenders a band from the 80's my generation when I was growing up. I am trying to place a song in my mind to remember her voice. Did they do "Love is a Battlefield"?

No that was Pat Benatar ... =)

[DarkVampire]

Well she had a unique voice herself. I can't place a Pretenders song in my head at the moment.

[LuluVox]

Odd, I just heard an interview on the radio today with Pat Benatar, and she said that Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders is her all-time favorite singer. So she'd probably be pretty happy to be mixed up with her, DV.

[Msterbeau]

Chrissy Hynde

*Ahem*

I did spell it wrong though... :doh

[Fierce Critter]

That's probably why I missed it in your post, Marc. I was scanning rather quickly. =)

DV - Brass in Pocket, Back on the Chain Gang, Tattooed Love Boys, Message of Love, etc.
