something along the lines of:

Man in Gray, based in NYC...www.maningray.com or www.myspace.com/maningray

The Village Voice called Tina DaCosta (lead singer for MIG) "The most satisfying screech in rock and roll!"

Let me know what you think...

[Torn Curtain]

My Brightest Diamond (Shara Worden is awesome)
Laura Veirs
An Pierlé
Kate Bush
Françoise Hardy

[MistyDawn]

Also check out Gold Streets...they have both a male and female singer and the female is also the drummer. I am amazed at how well she sings while drumming...that seems to be very difficult to me!!

[Cardinal Rob]

Maja Ratkje - Linked because she's the most important female vocalist ever.
Aksak Maboul
Young Marble Giants
Laurie Anderson
Essential Logic
A bit of t'Residents

Awesome! I don't know how i could ever forget her. I have a live improvisation cd that she did with some other musicians whose names i can't recall right now, and her voice is truly spellbinding.

[Cardinal Rob]

=D Ace. I'm impressed.

Time for that TOTAL RECAP... I'm on it, be patient...

NOW I'll try and edit out the doubles, then divide the list in 2 sections, "singers/bands I already know" and "I never consciously heard anything sung by her/them".

[nicfit]

Well, with all the effort you guys put in writing suggestions, keeping them in serious consideration is a natural consequence to me.

edit: plus, this list could be useful for many other boarders.

That is very kind of you!! I've already seen several bands/artists that I've never heard before!

come, live skull, uzi, thalia zedek

check out the raincoats as well.

i like mazzy star, that is when I am in the mood to get really depressed. my pops used to be obsessed with Mazzy when I was in middle school.

fade into you is one of the most beautiful tunes ever....

"i was walking with a ghost..... " etc etc etc

the indians say not to eat mushrooms when the sun is out or it will make you insane. they are absolutely right.

[lalie]

Nina Persson's solo "A Camp", very nice record, wonderful voice.

Brigitte Fontaine

[Green Magnesium]

Erm... Toilet Boys.

I realize that the frontwoman is actually a transgendered man... but you have Elton John in your original list??? Miss Guy reminds me of Deborah Harry, but i think that's the point.

Also, The Poppy Family.
