QOTD: Who is your favorite female vocalist or band?

Even though the music industry still seems to be dominated by men, let's celebrate and enjoy female musicians! Who is your favorite? They can be solo, a singer/songwriter, the singer of a band, or even just the musician in the band.

Why are they your favorite? Do you think it's been harder for them as a female to find success? (If they aren't OMG BIGGEST BAND IN THE WORLD, do you think they'll find difficulty in the future?)

Siouxsie Sioux, because she's just the best ever. Victoria Asher, as well. Her keytar is the backbone of Cobra's musical aesthetic.

Oh, and Amanda Palmer is quickly rising up my list. I'm not a huge fan of The Dresden Dolls, but the solo stuff I've heard of hers is amazing!

And Meg & Dia. They make me happy.

And when I was little I wanted to be just like Aaliyah. My favorite song was Back & Forth
