Female bands/singers..which one's should I listen to?

[Sweet One]

Hey guys! I'm really bored today..so i'm thinking about downloading some music...can anyone suggest FEMALE bands or singers that i should be listening to? How about songs?

I already have PJ Harvey and Tori Amos? Anyone else worth listening to??

Thanks guys! :D

[dave's girl]

i was just about to type pj harvey over and over again but you've beaten me to it. :lol: do you recommend tori amos then? i don't know any of her stuff :oops: i've just started listening to bjork as well. 8)

[sarah**]

Hmmm, well I like Dido's stuff but many people don't like her.

[dave's girl]

my sister loves dido (but then i think she loves shania twain too :shock: ) i really like the song "all i want" (i think that's what it's called) :)

[sarah**]

All you want, it's a good song.

And Laura don't forget Sarah Slean, what about Sarah Harmer (do you like her? i don't know her stuff).

[Katharina]

I really like Dido! I am looking forward to her new album which comes out in spring 2003.
And Laura, check out Lisa Miskovsky, a great Swedish singer, and Emiliana Torrini who sounds like a lighter version of Björk!
Also Natalie Imbruglia and Portishead are great! And Alanis Morissette sometimes (your fellow Canadian musician...).
Garbage is also worth listening to. :wink:

I do recommend listening to Tori Amos. If you wanna hear some great songs, download:
1) Spark (a very good song)
2) Playboy Mommy (one of my faves!)
3) Northern Lad (a great piano song)

For those of you who know Tori, you probably know that these all come from "the choirgirl hotel", which is an absolute fave of mine!!
:wink:

Sarah Slean? Of course I remembered her!! Her song is the inspiration behind my SN....yay!!

Sarah Harmer is okay..i used to love her but I don't listen to her as much anymore...

And i have the Dido album already...i've played it waaaaay too much!!

[sarah**]

Laura, are you going to the Tori Amos concert on the 22nd of Nov? I am going because a friend of mine loves her, I am not so familiar with her stuff. I will go download those.

[';']

i have no idea why but im not all that into female singers
i used to be into tori amos.......and now i've been listening to a lot of bjork...i used to then i kind of got over her now i'm back...haha

try kittie....haha i bet you heard of them...theyre canadian....i only like the song charlotte though all the others are kinda uh i dont know

[dave's girl]

Garbage is also worth listening to. :wink:

[';']

[Sweet One]

I am not going to the Tori Amos concert...I'm really sad though, I really wanted to see her live, but I'll be away that day!! Oh my luck!!
:cry:

Sweet

[Hicksy]

AIMEE MANN!!! :shock:

[dave's girl]

i don't know any of her stuff :shock: she's touring soon isn't she?

[Sweet One]

AIMEE MANN!!! :shock:

I loove Aimee Mann!!! :D have you listened to the "Magnolia" soundtrack??? She did a majority of the songs, and they're some of my fave!!!!

I think she was in T.O like last night or something, but i didn't go...i had no idea that she was even coming..i'm sad now :cry:

Sweet

[sarah**]

try kittie....haha i bet you heard of them...theyre canadian....i only like the song charlotte though all the others are kinda uh i dont know

I saw them in a restaurant once. It was very strange because it was a nice restaurant, and these four girls come in with bright hair and crazy clothes. Everyone was looking at them. And then I saw them on tv the next day. I don't really like them.

That's it.

[Sweet One]

I forgot to add Fiona Apple to my first list..i've been listening to her a lot lately...i have all her albums..but i kinda stopped, now out of nowhere i'm listening to them all the time...

Does anyone else like Ms. Apple?? :silly: :butterfly:

[Tracy]

Well. I suppose I am a newbie to this sort of music!!! :shock: I have Dido's album and I like what Tori Amos I have heard. I like Radiohead but don't have any albums, yet!!! 8)

I recently bought Norah Jones album, Come Away With Me", and I am probably going to get slated for this but I think she has a beautiful voice and I don't really care if she is country or jazz....I just think she's brill!!!:wink:

[dave's girl]

norah jones' single is perfect for sundays 8) very - sundayish i suppose. :) and now i sound like i right reviews for the daily star or something, but nevermind :? i like it anyway :)

[zuzanna]

I second that. I think Norah Jones has an amazing voice. As for Radiohead: You have to get The bends and O.k computer. Those are really amazing albums!! In my opinion the best they recorded so far. And Thom's voice in The tourist....Ah, I'm turning into jelly!

[Hicksy]

word :D

[Sweet One]

Oh yeah!! Norah Jones..I already downloaded some of her songs, but i agree with you..she's got an amazing voice!!! :)

[Tracy]

:shock: You agree with me. That's it I love you all! I was ready for a battering then. I was dreading coming in this thread but I should have known you would all be lovely! :D

I agree with jane it is very Sundayish. I sort of daydream when I listen and imagine my life like in films where there is music in the background and it has like a montage of good and bad things in my life. :wink: God, that sounds cheesy!!!

[paulabenson]

I've never heard of Ms Apple or Ms Jones :oops: ....but I really like Mary.J. Blige...or is that too souly...if you wanna go back in time I love Joni Mitchell....and just for the record I really :evil: really dislike Sophie-bloody-ellis-Bextor :wink:

[Tracy]

eeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww them photos with a skinned fox. It gets the point across and she looks beautiful but ......eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! :shock: :D

[Daydream810]

Kittie is great! I love them!

[sarah**]

LAURA, I forgot about Chantal Kreviazuk

[paulabenson]

I'm a huge fan of her!! I have both her albums and i'm gonna get her next one...Hey did you know that she's gonna be at Caban in downtown?? I think it's a cd signing..i'm trying to figure out how i'm gonna go!!

[Sweet One]

LAURA, I forgot about Chantal Kreviazuk

Who's that? :?: What kind of music :?:

She's a canadian singer-songwriter....she's really good, she sings folky pop-ish music.....i don't really know how to describe her music..but she covered "Leaving on a Jet Plane" for the Armageddon soundtrack....oh and she's married to Raine from Our Lady Peace...just thought i'd add that little tid-bit in...lol :wink:

[';']

oh and she's married to Raine from Our Lady Peace...just thought i'd add that little tid-bit in...lol :wink:

[sarah**]

I'm a huge fan of her!! I have both her albums and i'm gonna get her next one...Hey did you know that she's gonna be at Caban in downtown?? I think it's a cd signing..i'm trying to figure out how i'm gonna go!!

I'm on the Caban mailing list and got the e-mail. I really like her new single, don't know what it's called though.

And yes she is married to Raine from Our Lady Peace. Their children will be so good looking, she is gorgeous.

[Sweet One]

If her and Raine do have babies, they'll be gorgeous...i heard that she went to some radio show and the hosts said that she was stunning...lol...i'm trying to go to Caban, but i need someone to go with..i'll probably go with my friend...she likes her...

Oh and by the way..her new single is called "In This Life"....they have the video on Much but they don't play it very often, it's only on medium rotation...check MMM instead, they'll play it for sure!!

:wink:

[';']

hmm how does she sound....i've never heard her

if they have babies...haha :lol: i wonder what would happen if they had monkeys :lol: just kidding i'm sorry :wink:

[sarah**]

hmm how does she sound....i've never heard her

Just wanted to add that.

[LittleMissTrouble]

Thank you to everyone who has mentioned Norah Jones. I just recently bought her album and she is amazing. It was definately her voice which struck me first, but its really refreshing to see someone like her doing so well compared to all these pop sluts who are everywhere.
Tori Amos....what can i say? She's wicked, cant wait to see her next year. "Spark" is an amazing track.
Dido is wicked too, hope she brings out some new stuff soon. Mary J Blige is awesome too, great performer.
You got great taste peeps :-)

[God]

i agree, Norah Jones is great. Id recommend Ani difranco, her lyrics are really amazing and Sarah Mclachlan because she's got a really dreamy wistful voice and her songs are really emotional. I especially like the songs 'angel' and 'full of grace' and 'the last dance'.

[';']

sweet surrender....is that a sarah mclachlan song. that's about the only one i know....i like her voice

[hollybelle]

hey there-
love Sara mclachlan her album "fumbling towards ecstacy" is really good. Highly recommend. Like fiona Apple her first cd "tidal" is very good. Love that title so clever so her. Her second is good but the first is much better. Ever heard of Mazzy Star??Hope Sandoval has an amazing voice. Very cool sound. Love the ladies. Like Nina Gordon she's from that band can't remember it at the moment but it was her and another girl singer did the band start with an S???? can't remember. Going to be getting Norah very soon can't wait. Love her voice. Love Portishead and Garbage. Will have to check out the other ladies. Ani is cool love that song of hers or I am drawing a blank i guess it's time to get her music out again. I have the "living in clip" oh the song is "dilate" god that is powerful. So have been there!!!!haven't got any female music lately. Love pj she is so awesome. has anyone ever heard of Nina Nastasia? so tempted to get her cd her song "as is" or something like that is sooo cool.. love this site. so glad i found it. :-D

I think both of 'em are listed on good ol' www.cdbaby.com (LOVEEEE that site :)). Oh, and Fran has a lyric that says, "Strange how the stars shine, yeah, they shine for you, but you don't look up." It's my fave no less. :)

Anyway, not sure if they're your thing, but I like 'em. :)
