Penner, you've gotta stop letting your little sister post on your account.

Shit, shit, shit

Michelle Branch

i only like hayley williams of those options. superior female vocalists:

johnette napolitano (concrete blonde)
amanda palmer (the dresden dolls)
eva cassidy
grace slick (jefferson airplane)
jenny lewis
kori gardner (mates of state)
patti smith
karen o (yeah yeah yeahs)
regina spektor
corin tucker (sleater-kinney)
kim gordon (sonic youth)

i could keep going if you'd like.

Do you want them ranked based on overall rank?

i guess to answer the question it would go: hayley williams, amy lee, avril lavigne.

WeX has a much much better list

hey guys it my game

play it or not

You've got to stop yours from sucking you off.

None of them bowl me over, in fact I don't consider any of them to have particularly mind blowing voices at all, I mean some of the ones WeX mentioned I know of and I give props, because obviously sheer vocal ability is not the only factor to consider but still, none of the ones Penner mentioned come across as having any particular presence to make up for a lack of talent either.

jealous much?

Ok Penner - they are all shit and I rate them a big 1 out of 10

the list was based on talent, not on looks. not sure why that would even come into play in a discussion about vocal skills.

I like Agent M

Yeah, I give all three of the listed options a big 1/10.

WeX has the right idea. I would also nominate Andrea Zollo (Pretty Girls Make Graves), Kathryn Calder (The New Pornographers, Immaculate Machine), Neko Case (formerly The New Pornographers), Bjork, and Julia Stone (Angus & Julia Stone).

Amy Lee














Haley Williams




















































Avril Lavinge

God yes Kathryn Calder.

I must spread rep etc.

Is this based on the order in which i want to fuck them?

Vanessa Carlton

kim deal - the pixies

Ann Wilson - Heart

Pat Benatar

Joan Jett

Lita Ford

I'm sorry guys but Amy Lee's voice is DEADLY good.

Yeah, but then you also classified an Avril Lavigne video clip as "AMAZING", too.

And every one of the vocalists WeX and I listed (IMO) outclass Amy Lee effortlessly.

Me from 4 years ago:

SHUT UP RIGHT NOW!


:shifty:

It can be. She was flawless in the AOL sessions. But put her live at most any other performance and she is absolutely horrible.

Alison Krauss
Bjork
Jenny Lewis :love:
Regina Spektor
Ella Fitzgerald
Kate Rusby
Julie Fowlis
Karen carpenter

These ladies have/had far better voices, intonation, and phrasing than any of those smucks you mentioned, Penner.

Alanis Morrisette....

Brody "The Man" Dalle/Armstrong

Also, Penner.. if you are crazy about Amy Lee, look up the AOL sessions. Only quality work she's ever done IMO.

All of them are crap.

Emily Haines and Metric:

Amy Lee is a pretty terrible vocalist.

Out of the three, Hayley kind of wins by default.

I've seen. And I've seen other live videos where she is just as good.

Avril has a sweet voice. And she's gorgeous.
