    Debbie Harry - 
    Cherrie Currie - Runaways
    Shirley Manson - Garbage
    Sonya Madan - Echobelly.
    TraceyThorn - Everything but the Girl 
    Susannah Hoffs.
    Harriet Wheeler - TheSundays
    Clare Grogan - Altered Images
    Therese Bazaar - Dollar (weediest voiced singer ever!)

    Im  normally not in to powerfully voiced girl singers as you can see

    My favourite though is the ultra girly voiced, feather boa waving, ball playing powerhouse Sarah Cracknell

    Liked the video, but had trouble googling 'Herr She' - thought it was something to do with that pronoun malarkey.

    Never thought I'd see Curve mentioned on CL.

    Mine are...

    Wendy Morgan - The Popguns
    Hope Sandoval - Mazzy Star

    Florence and the machine (Florence) and the Pretenders (Chrissie Hynde), Siouxsie and the Banshees (Siouxsie)  and Blondie (Debbie Harry)

    Criminally underrated. Cuckoo is one of the finest albums of the nineties.

    For me personally, no one comes close to Debbie Harry from Blondie. One of the best bands of all time, hit after hit, and a ridiculous catalogue. What a woman. 

    After that I'd say Ann Wilson from Heart and the one and only Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac. 

    All unbelievable artists. 

    Genuinely can't forgive myself for not adding these two as well; Cerys Matthews & Shirley Manson. Both extremely underrated

    To be a ’frontwoman’ don’t you need to have other band members behind you? That what’s gives meaning to the word. Therefore, all these solo artists as suggested above, however good they may be do not answer the question.

    From those I’ve seen I’d propose Sarah Cracknell, and of course our much missed Dolores O’Riordan, RIP.

    Otherwise Wendy James for rock.

    All out winner for me though has to be Mama Cass - what a voice!

    Ooooh - I've had a thing for that since I was about 16. She is f***ing mint - her music is dull though. I used to really like Miki from Lush and Toni Halliday from Curve too - now THEY were filth

    ooo Toni Halliday..i've still got some of my curve cds,saw lush live supporting someone can't remember who though then i saw Miki in a pub next to highbury and islington tube trying to chat up some yanks a few days later.
    LOL - Miki was a right slag - my mate knocked her off a couple of times in the late eighties when she was a Camdenite.

    Toni had a bit more class - I'm listening to Cuckoo right now (awesome album) but had plenty of charisma as well - I once saw her tell some bloke to 'fuck off 'cos you're getting on my tits'

    OK, maybe she didn't have THAT much more class!
    Would you @Leroy Ambrose" or @addick19 be the other Charlton fan who I briefly met at the Curve gig in March 1992 the Friday evening before the Blackburn away game? We then spoke again on the the supporters’ coach or at the service station the next day.

    That was the gig during which I sang out ’Leeeaaaaburn’  between songs and then he scored the next day

    Oooh, happy days. And yes, Toni Halliday  - what a mental gig that was - people now talk about ’limbs’ at football. That gig was out of control.

    Not me - but I'd definitely have been at the gig. Around then I guess it would have been the Town & Country Club or the Astoria - they probably weren't big enough for Brixton at that point, but already too big for the Marquee and Garage.

    Don't remember Leeeeeaaaaburn (but I was likely to have been incredibly pissed 🤣)
