IpMan Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Fiona Apple, Tori Amos (check out the live version of Professional Widow), and one of the most underrated vocalists, Melanie. Check out Lay It Down, it's definitely a 60's love child tune but damn her vocals will melt your face off (in a good way). Fun Fact: Zeppelin performed a gig or two with Melanie in 69' at festival gigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder1978 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 If anyone had any doubts, just re-watch the "Lincoln Center Honors" for Ann Wilson's version of Stairway. Debate over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, and what I always loved about her is that despite having a "working man's voice" she knew the character and uniqueness of it. I'm a really really big fan in fact - her entire catalogue is filled with all sorts of hidden gems and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryder1978 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 After the 2012 Kennedy Center Honors tribute, I'm surprised there is any question. Anyone who can pull off "Stairway" with the emotion that Ann Wilson did that night deserves the honor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John M Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Earlier I listed Annie Haslam of Renaissance. Lately I have been listening to alot of Sandy Denny with Fairport Convention and I would say she should be in the discussion as well. So many amazing performances, in particular "Who Knows Where the Time Goes", but really all of the first album, Unhalfbricking, and Lief and Liege. And Battle of Evermore. I do have to agree that Ann Wilson is excellent, and I guess if we are focusing on "rock" I would have to agree that she is at the top of that list. I just do not like any of their material after 1978. Those early Heart albums are a tour de force. Annie Haslam cannot really be considered "rock", but what a voice.

Virginia Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Not really rock, but Gladys Knight has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard; and she still tours; I hope to have the opportunity to see her one day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 (edited) The greatest female rock singer has to have it all...voice, style, attitude AND looks.

As for my favorite female rock singers (besides Susanna): Ann Wilson Janis Joplin Debbie Harry Grace Slick Amy Winehouse Tina Turner Cass Elliot Aretha Franklin Okay, some of those may be a bit of stretch to call "rock", but whatever.

We got a chance to see Heart a few years back, they were just amazing. Her voice on the Zep tracks they did in the encore, as well as The Who's "Love Reign O'er Me" was just magical. On 3/30/2016 at 6:28 PM, Marmalade_Skies said: I never said they were better than Ann Wilson. I don't think there's a single female [rock] singer who could compete with her. Also, I need to get Nancy Wilson to marry me. ❤️ On 3/30/2016 at 6:23 PM, reswati said: None in the first row's singers could even come close to Ann Wilson (all of these over-pompous metal chicks just miss the ingredient called "soul") She's not a Rock singer..... but, if Natalie Grant, with her set of pipes, ever chose to sing STH, I think that she would knock it out of the park.
