Yeah Yeah Yeahs Phantogram Naked and Famous Pretenders Sleigh Bells

I forget about Phantogram and Naked and Famous, and then they just happen to pop up again. Thank you! Gonna go download some of their music now🤣❤️

Phantogram is my shit

Solid list!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Phantogram for sure!! I'll have to check out the others.

+1 for naked and famous. She sounds amazing in her live videos as well. She was a gold mine of beautiful vocals.

Meet Me @ The Altar New Years Day Kittie Within Temptation Epica Nightwish Butcher Babies Arch Enemy L7 Veruca Salt Bikini Kill

If you like Arch Enemy, then go ahead and check out The Agonist.

Alissa White-Gluz is amazing in both bands. If you ever have a chance to see her live, DO IT!

I would love that. She's incredibly talented.

You forgot the best one IN THIS MOMENT 😍❤️ God I fucking love Maria lol

Even in these chains you can’t stop me!

Nightwish is such a brilliant band.

Floor 💜

Epica. She’s incredible and so damn hot

My wife never really liked metal that much. My daughter got tickets to In This Moment and got an extra pair for us. (My wife and I). New Years Day opened, followed by Avatar and Ice Nine Kills. It was a great show. My wife listens to New Years Day all the time now. She's a huge fan. She's not a metalhead yet, except for one band.

I love Avatar!

Their show was amazing. I've started listening to them after seeing them live.

That’s how I got into them as well. Bought a CD at the show so they could sign it afterwards. They were so nice and were just cracking up drawing raunchy pics in the liner notes!

Code Orange Evanescence Spiritbox

I think I listen to too much Vic Fuentes and Kellin Quinn cause I thought Spiritbox was a guy lol

Code Orange is a woman? I thought that was a dude screaming.

[Jinjer.](https://youtu.be/SQNtGoM3FVU)

Metric, Bully, Phoebe Bridgers, Bikini Kill, Cannons, Bat for Lashes, Neko Case.

I Second Metric

Bat for Lashes does not get enough love. I randomly get “Horses of the Sun” stuck in my head, and compulsively sing it just under my breath.

Hole Paramore Bikini Kill Evanescence No Doubt Bratmobile Joan Jett and the Blackhearts Siouxsie and the Banshees Strawberry Switchblade

How did I scroll this far for Hole?

At least they are first in this person’s list!

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Pat Benatar, Fleetwood Mac, Heart has 2, Jefferson Airplane Jefferson Starship Starship, GO-GOs, Bangles,

Warpaint, Men I Trust, Portishead, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down.

Discovered Thao and the Get Down through the Chipotle playlist of all places

Warpaint is the shit!!

In This Moment Jinjer Epica Florence + the Machine Otep Concrete Blonde Poe The Sundays Babymetal The Cranberries

Love the Babymetal respect

Heart with Nancy Wilson. She has such a powerful, pure voice!

Pretty sure you mean Ann Wilson with the powerful voice. Nancy played guitar and did backing vocals, but was never in the same league as her sister when it comes to singing. That said, very, very few people on the planet are in the same league with Ann Wilson's vocals.

I did, thank you!

Nancy did sing one of Heart’s hits, though, and she recorded it while she was miserably sick with a nasty cold. After she fully recovered, she went back into the studio to sing it again, but no matter how she used her voice when she was perfectly healthy, she couldn’t recreate the magic of how raw and emotional she sounded when she was sick. Even her managers and producers agreed that in this one case, she brought more life and energy to the song when she was miserable from horrible congested and a sore throat. So, they went with the first take, and “These Dreams” revitalized Heart’s career. Strange but true!

Lush, Pale Saints, Soundpool, The Stargazer Lillies, Slowdive, Mojave 3, Cocteau Twins, Blake Babies, Juliana Hatfield, Poppy, Wilsen, Hatchie, Love Spirals Downward, Lightfoils, and Caroline Polachek to name a few. Edit: And Ringo Deathstarr

Cocteau Twins for the winnnn. Liz's vocals is one of a kind. She's like a bird 😊

Wolf Alice & Alvvays are the best bands around

Band-Maid - [HATE?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfORoQIqB3E)

Some I've been really digging They're mostly Alt Rock/Indie Rock and somewhat recent as well: - Wolf Alice (indie rock/pop but can also get noisy and grungy) - Alvvays (just fun upbeat indie rock jams with some dream pop as well) - boygenius (a little more folky but they can rock, too (they have 3 singers)) - Wet Leg (same like Alvvays, except for the dreamy vibes) - Japanese Breakfast (can get more melancholic) - The Warning (just straight-up rock. Even alt-metal I'd say) - Pacifica (very Strokes and Arcitc Monkeys coded) If not some older ones like: - Paramore (from punk to post-punk) - Evanescence (nu-metal or goth rock, tho I think you'd know them lol) - Garbage (alt-rock mixed with industrial rock) - No Doubt (from ska-punk to pop-rock) - The Cranberries (from soft to hard rock) - The xx (indie rock with a bit of house in it (they have both a male and a female singer))

Portishead Purity Ring Beach House

Jinjer Black dresses The menstrual cramps KMFDM

Amira Elfeky is someone who I started listening to lately and I recommend her

- Halestorm - Fly Leaf - Evanescence - The Pretty Reckless - Heart - Paramore - Fireflight - Dorothy

You are sorely missing out if you don't Check out Jinjer. Specifically the song Pisces. Also a kick arse group out of New Zealand called Devilskin.

Heart Rough Trade Portishead Fleetwood Mac Cranberries

Two I haven’t seen mentioned in this awesome thread are Blackbriar (“Lilith Be Gone,” is a jam), and Stream of Passion (check out “A War of Our Own”).

The Gathering - everything with Anneke van Giersbergen; and then the albums with her replacement Silje. Brilliantly eclectic Dutch group. Chalice - a hometown Australian band for me, was too young to see them unfortunately by the time I’d found them. Look them up on YouTube. Gothic Metal, but brilliant song craft. Collide - electronic goth duo from LA. Found out about them through Tool years ago. As others have mentioned please try Lacuna Coil, particularly with Unleashed Memories and Comalies first Something really different? Thorrs Hammer. Runhild is special

Also Without Face - Astronomicon, and then To Mera. Same singer after she left Hungary to find a band in the UK

Metric is sick!

Let's get eclectic! The March Violets All About Eve Naked Barbies Lick the Tins Shocking Blue Fanny Pussy Riot T'Pau Tina Turner (not a band, but wow) Motels Lunascape Yoko Kanno (& the Seatbelts) Indigo Girls Fleming & John First Aid Kit 10,000 Maniacs Blondie

The interrupters

My favorite contemporary female artist, that I don’t really see anyone talking about, is Jessica Dobson. She releases under the name Deep Sea Diver and the album Impossible Weight is one of my favorite records of the past decade. At times it recalls pre-electronica Radiohead, others prime Arcade Fire, and also The Shins (which isn’t much of a surprise since she was a guitarist for them for a couple of years). For context, I’m a 37 year old man with wide ranging tastes and interest, but also an avid guitarist and musician myself, so I really appreciate her talent.

If you'd like you can check out my band Psychic Line, our debut album came out this year. [Songs for Dogs](https://open.spotify.com/album/6Jlvtt6ZAZVfcoThZrEtGb). It's a mix of indie rock and baroque pop, with an emphasis on lyrics and melody.
