Ok so this thread is a poll. The question is who you think the best girl rocker is.
Lacey Mosley (Flyleaf)
Halley Williams (Paramore... I think I spelt her name wrong, though)
Amy Lee (Evanescence)
Discuss!! :) Personally, I choose Amy Lee. It was a hard choice between her and Lacey, though. I think they are tied, but I have liked Evanescence for a longer time, so they win! :)
Bif Naked, n00b :D
Well... I like Bif Naked... I just thought these are the top three girls, so I used them :p sorry, though.
Go Amy!
Rock the bed, AMIRITE?
O_o I only know who Flyleaf is, who are the rest of these people.
Feist.
I choose the hidden Godzilla option.

omg amy lee ^.^
When I first read this thread, I thought it said Chris Rock.
I was instead, majorly disappointed with this choice of female rockers.
Isn't she more of a singer/songwriter?Quote:

I moved to Vancouver specifically so I could marry Bif Naked but then she went and got married to some other guy. I did hang around outside the church when she was getting married, though. Just for a little while. xPQuote:

amy lee is from arkansas ftw
See I'd vote on this (aside from only knowing Evanescence and Paramore in this I have other reasons to abstain) but you forgot some fantastic female names in rock such as;
Cristina Scabbia - Lacuna Coil
Brody Dalle - Distillers
Kittie (all female band)
Courtney Love (love her or hate her she's still successful)
The Sahara Hotnights (I'll just list the entire band here since they're all female)
So many others out there this is just the ones I remember of the top of my head here.
FTW!Quote:

I however must choose Skin from Skunk Anansie because I think she rocks the cheese.
Let's talk about this in The Lounge where all the ROCKERS belong!
There's Candace Kucsulain from the thrash/metalcore band Walls Of Jericho. Not my favourite band, but certainly worth noting. She has quite a range considering her band's lack of same, and without her they'd be just another mediocre breakdown-fest of a band.
Feist is definitely a rocker. Remember she was in Broken Social Scene the indie rock supergroup before she started her solo career. Her solo career also has various rock elements. She rocks it hard in the song "Sea Lion" of the 2007 album, The Reminder.Quote:

I would include M.I.A. as well, but she's not really a rocker.

No chicks have rocked as hard as these three have. Carrie Brownstein's roaring guitar, Janet Weiss' thundering drums, and Corin Tuckers' unbelievable wail (one of the best in all of rock music) together are rock perfection. There are very few groups that can match the raw ferocity of songs like "Entertain", "One Beat", or "The Fox".
Forget greatest female band ever, Sleater-Kinney is one of the greatest bands period.
Honorable mentions go to Karen O, PJ Harvey, and Brody Dalle.
Oh, alright then. I'm not that familiar with Feist; I didn't know she used to be in a band.Quote:

.. and also, no.. M.I.A. is not a rocker.. she's hard to label, but defnitely not a rocker :) I guess you could call her a hip-hop/grime artist, with some world music elements?
EDIT: Debby Harry = :thumb:
I second the mention of Sleater-Kinney. Let's Call It Love is a fantastic 11 minute sandblast of a song.
PJ Harvey trumps everyone though. She's magnificent.
Where is the "Someone who is actually good" option?
:p Well... I'm really sorry I disapointed you all! I just thought of the three femal vocalists that I listen to the most! I'm sorry!Quote:

Evanescence ROX MY SOX OFF!!!!! I have to vote for them because Evanescence rules, but I wouldn't date or sleep with any of them. My tastes head to my age level(male or female) and I plan on staying a virgin.
Hailey Williams. I love Paramore.
I also like Aya Hirano too. But she wasn't on the list.
I chose the "I hate all of these options." Amy Lee is the best of those three, and I fully admit to loving her voice, but the band sucks and her vocals don't suit that style at all anyway.
Oh yeah, I totally forgot about miss Polly Jean Harvey. She's awesome.Quote:

We hate you to, Rabieus, at least I do, even though it's because of your piccys on "The Sexy Picture Thread of Love." Thats why your nickname that I gave you has to do with Rabies, be ause your hair reminds me of a racoon with rabie[u]s.Quote:

I love the way Lacey sings. She doesn't sing "I'm alive" She sings "I'm a liyive" HEr vice is so strange and entticing
Paramore rocks. No question about it. They are my favorite band at the moment. Hayley's hair is ust fckn smexy to the max.
Evanescence. My first musical love. Her voice is so powerful an she has such a huge range.
I choose Hayley just because she wears skinny jeans and her har is total win. Lacey's hair is the best for headbanging though.
I'd say Angela Gossow but her vocals are kinda monotonous...Quote:

I never said she doesn't have some talent. I'm just saying in comparison to her contemporaries, she's just mediocre.Quote:

She basically is a watered down version of Siouxsie Sioux's style mixed with Beth Gibbons' or as I already mentioned Sarah Brightman's vocals. It's fine if you like her, but personally I think she's just the product of being a facsimile of already famous vocalists. I just don't really see Amy Lee bringing anything new to the table (the fact she sings in a very cookie cutter nu-metal band doesn't really help).
they are all ace. Amy Lee is a bit of a bitch though. cant decide out of Lacey or Hayley though :eek:Quote:

The chick from Damone deserves a mention too, they're poppy enough to end up mainstream, and I like her voice.Quote:
