"No one said it was gonna be easy! If it was, everyone would do it..that's who you know who really wants it."
All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut

I can't beieve that no one has mentioned Debbie Harry (Blondie). On looks alone she wins, hands down.
Then there's Alison Moyet (Yazoo), she has one of the move powerful and emotive voices I've ever heard.
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

I loved Catatonia at their height. I used to be awestruck by how Cerys Matthews went through a bottle of wine, a bottle of something else, and 2-3 cans of beer over the course of a 30 minute gig, in the gaps between songs. Then there was another gig, Astoria IIRC, where her choice of refreshment was a bottle or two of vodka. Fantastic.

Not to rain on her parade, but water can look a lot like vodka from down in the audience.Originally Posted by Pannonian
I never much liked Catatonia, and when they did that song about how rubbish London was and how much they liked '[going] off back to Wales, my conclusion was, well, why don't you just [go] off back to Wales then? There's 7 million of us in London, its not like we are going to miss a few whinging Welshmen.
Plus that Road rage song made even Oasis's lyrics seem good.
Right now I'd say Evanescence are quite good, although it won't last.

Smirnoff water? I didn't even notice it was vodka until I saw pictures of the gig afterwards, with the label clearly visible.
Re: Best band with a female lead singer
Aye, and she has quite the voice as well.
Re: Best band with a female lead singer
