Top 10 Songs by Female Fronted Bands of the 90s (Not Ever. Just the 90s.)

Not always female led and when they were they always seemed to have a different girl singing each time... Still, I can't believe no-one has lobbed up Massive Attack... especially since most of their best material involved a female singer





 
No one mentioned Massive Attack because Massive Attack is a duo. Simple as that Red.
 
Sure... but they are/ were often fronted by a female singer... fits the bill, no?

Providing vocals as a guest appearance on a song is hardly fronting. Fronting is usually being the focal point on albums or on photos and being the main person on stage. There are only two members of the band.

Think of it's this way. I the song was made in 1990-1999, it has a band and when you think of the band you will most likely think of the woman, then it fits the bill ;)
 
Hold the phone, I forgot about The Beautiful South. I reckon they should qualify, especially when only your woman sings. Rotterdam would have made the Top 10 I reckon.



 
Off the top of my head:

The Breeders - Cannonball
Portishead - Roads
Mazzy Star - Fade Into You
Republica - Ready to go
Sleater-Kinney - I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone
Shonen Knife - Riding on the Rocket
Belly - Feed the Tree
Garbage - Only Happy When it Rains
Babes in Toyland - Bruise Violet
The Cranberries - Ode To My Family

I'd be hard pressed to come up with a list, but Roads is my no 1.

The way her voice in general managed to carry tunes, frail-sounding as it was... absolutely wonderful.
 
I was gonna pick a My Life With the Kill Thrill Kult song, but didn't because most people think of the male singer when they think of them.

Mindcage is probably my favorite one with the female vocalist. Hit and Run Holiday is the album I had, good stuff.



Or Babylon Drifter

 
Yes! Magic City and The Dirt of Luck must surealy be the top two albums by female fronted bands of the 90s. More!



Ah, love that album. Here's another one from it

9. Hole - Celebrity Skin
That's the album I have (because Billy Corgan wrote and produced lots/most of it). I don't think that's the best song from it (Dying and Petal are better), but the Hole song I like the most has to be Teenage Whore:
Can this count? I vote yes.

I too vote yes.
 
Can't believe only Chrisjn has mentioned Skunk Anansie


Skin has an incredible voice
