OP, why are you asking for the impossible?

Actually... Celine Dion is pretty good, but not a band.

+++++++Metric
one of my favorite bands of all time

>>69225000
1 hit wonders

but still made one of the finest dream pop songs of the past century

>>69225340
One hit wonder? they have several great hits, Goodbye is their best song

>>69225330
I find it very hard to find good rockbands fronted by women for whatever reason. Metric is pretty chill in terms of rock but they do it really well. I love the slight synthy stuff they add to the track as well.

Also I forgot to add another band
Freezepop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7us0CLsTSY

I have more female bands I like but they are kind of guilty pleasures/probably super pleb tier

>>69225202

This very much.

Melt-Banana
Deerhoof
Little Big League

Beach House

Cloud Rat

Also theres this band Im thinking of which does like noise rock mixed with grindcore, its fronted by a real cute girl, she always wears shorts and tights. Can anyone help out? Theyre kinda similar to Daughters or PRE, maybe more metally

>>69225455
Nvm got it. Rolo Tomassi

>>69225694
Oh shit, I can dig it!
I don't know many female fronted bands as heavy as this.

This is probably the heaviest female fronted band I like.

some of the best folk i ever heard

>>69226211
she has an unbelievably bad voice

>>69226261
I am terrible at remembering band faces unless I love them or are just super mainstream.

>>69226274
Oh man I love them, easily one of my top country/folk acts ever. Her voice is incredible and the writing to her songs are so different from a lot of other country acts out there.
I am surprised you know them honestly, no one reacts whenever I post them. I have been trying to get em over whenever I can.

>>69226312

You're objectively wrong. That vibrato is pure punk.

>>69226211
Post some good shit from em homie.

>>69225927
Make some of the most boring music I've ever heard. Fuck this band

>>69226274
>Basia Bulat
She is ok, but idk it feels a little sterile? I am a big fan of passion over technical singing ability. I feel more when listening to Suzanne Santo. It's hard to explain. I always try to explain it by using Janis Joplin as an example. Technically not the greatest singer but fuck me she sings her heart out.

>>69226642
Instrumentals are good, just not a huge fan of her vocal style

>>69226665

It's an acquired taste, it grew on me after I marathoned their albums one afternoon.

>>69226743
Call me a pleb but that seems like too much effort just to like something.

>>69226743
im loading your vids right now, and i just listened to Hopelessness and i gotta say, not bad

the vocals kinda hit home for me, idk why, the style i guess i have no idea

>>69226761

The instrumentation was enough to keep me hooked and I liked the lyrics. I wasn't, like, forcing myself to listen to it.

>>69226798
Eh fair enough. For me good vocals is one of the biggest attractions when I listen to music.

muh

>>69226813

This one has a lot less vibrato and it's heavy as fuck, give it a whirl. Then I'll go away.

>>69226201
Only heard their first album
Lot of yelling, I was ok with it.

>>69226888
Oh ok, this is more like it. And really dont go away, /mu/ tends to be dead a lot and no one actually seems to talk.
Is there a /mu/ discord or something?

The female singer on Fire on Fire was pretty good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QKvWqSlp4Q
Pop Punk is one of my guilty pleasures, a lot of fun female lead bands in this genre.

>no breeders
wtf

>>69226918

90% of /mu/ are contrarian circlejerkers, but every so often you get diamonds in the rough. I meet cool people in sharethreads.

You just gotta dodge the memes.

And yeah that whole album is from early in Screaming Females' career before Marissa Paternoster really started pushing her vibrato.

Do solo artists count?

>>69227027
>I meet cool people in sharethreads.
Got a discord/steam/skype?

>>69227027
>90% of /mu/ are contrarian circlejerkers, but every so often you get diamonds in the rough
pretty much

I think the singer from this band has a super qt voice.

>>69227050
Oh jees if I had known we can post solo artist I would have posted way more. But he said specifically bands so idk.

>>69226409
Hmmmm. I don't agree. They're chill.

Garbage is correct, everything else is shit
I'd still lick Lavren's erect nipples though

>>69227246
It's too bad the last 3 times I've seen them they abandoned all of theresa's lead songs from the fool. Shadows and majesty were my favorites for a long time. I saw them for the sixth time yesterday and their vibe is different. It's a much more extroverted experience than before. That said I do not support New Song. That shit is honestly horrible and only catchy in the most vapid way. Lyrically and sonically dead.

The stall, dre, and so good are all great. I was dissapointing in the live version of so good though. They didn't have that cool electronic thing at the end which really ties the song together.
