Top Ten Best Female Singers In Rock Bands

The Top Ten
1 Amy Lee - Evanescence Amy Lynn Hartzler, known professionally as Amy Lee, is an American singer-songwriter, classically trained pianist and composer. She is also the lead singer to the Arkansas band Evanescence.

Amy Lee has very high vocal range and she can shift her voice from singing high notes to low notes, especially when you listen to Good Enough. Her voice is so unique that patented Evanescence as untypical. There is an otherworldly feel to her voice; haunting, mysterious, and deep. I think, everybody loves to sing like Amy Lee.

2 Debbie Harry - Blondie Deborah Ann "Debbie" Harry is an American singer-songwriter and actress, best known as the lead singer of the new wave and punk rock band Blondie.
3 Hayley Williams - Paramore Hayley Nichole Williams is an American singer, songwriter and musician. She is best known as the lead vocalist, occasional keyboardist and primary songwriter of the American rock band Paramore. In 2020 she started a solo career.

She's my favorite Pop Punk or Alternative Rock female singer. She's beautiful

For me, Hayley is beyond any rank or number! She rocks!

Just listen to 'All I wanted' say no more

4 Lzzy Hale - Halestorm Elizabeth Mae "Lzzy" Hale is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. She is best known as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the American hard rock band Halestorm, which she co-founded in 1997.
5 Ann Wilson - Heart Ann Dustin Wilson (born June 19, 1950) is an American musician, best known as the lead singer and songwriter of the hard rock band Heart. Ann is in the Rock Hall of Fame with Heart, and is listed as one of the best metal singers of all time by Hit Parader. She is widely viewed as one of, if not the greatest female hard rock singer of all time.

Most of the other singers on this list wouldn't be what they are if Ann Wilson had not paved the way. Almost every vocalist/musician that I know would agree that Ann Wilson is in a category of her own. This list should be titled "Top Ten Best Female Singers In Rock Bands... Other Than Ann Wilson".

6 Stevie Nicks - Fleetwood Mac Stephanie Lynn "Stevie" Nicks is an American singer and songwriter, best known for her work with Fleetwood Mac and an extensive solo career, which collectively have produced over forty Top 50 hits and sold over 140 million albums.

13 Sharon den Adel - Within Temptation Sharon den Adel, Dutch singer and the vocalist of symphonic rock band Within Temptation. Together with her partner, Robert Westerholt, den Adel is one of the founding members of Within Temptation. She has defined their work as epic and cinematic. Her vocals play a major role in the band's sound, despite having never received formal vocal training. Den Adel sings in the mezzo-soprano range but her vocal quality is light and lyric despite her range.

Sharon is the best female front woman of all time. She is pure class and her voice is both powerful and angelic. She sounds amazing in every song both in the studio and especially live.

Sharon just is!

14 Lacey Sturm - Flyleaf Lacey Nicole Sturm is an American singer and songwriter from Homestead, Florida, raised in Arlington, Texas. She is co-founder and former lead vocalist of the hard rock band Flyleaf.

She tried out for the band in December of 2007 before Skillet accepted her into the band in 2008. Examples for her performances are Awake and Alive (2009), Hero (2009), and Not Gonna Die (2013)

Jen Ledger is so underrated. She deserves way more than the love she's getting now, of course, she can't top Amy Lee in any way, but she is an amazing artist.

20 Christine McVie - Fleetwood Mac

In the beginning, all of Vanilla Ninja's members were singing in equal parts, but on "Blue Tattoo" and "Love is War", Kuurma became the lead singer of the band.
She has such a beautiful voice. It is so rough and so real, you can hear all of the unique peculiarities. It is so unlike most other vocals, which are mostly clear.
Listen to "Spirit of the Dawn" and you'll know what I mean.
