Where is Sharlene Spiteri of Texas..?
Fabulous voice, been performing with Texas since 1988.
Still appearing now, in fact they were at Glastonbury last summer.

I think Ann should be #1. She was a lead vocalist in a band and she is a powerhouse. Christine McVie should also be in the top 10. How do you put Annie Lennox in a rock category. All of her music was programmed pop. She is an excellent singer but she did not did not break ground like the other females.
I did not see Pat Benatar on the list or did I miss her. She broke so many female rock records today.
Seriously. Why not put Brittany Spears on this list its such rubbish.

I’m pretty sure the list was for BAND front women, hence the omission of Pat Benatar (and Britney Spears).

The list is still messed up because Janis is known as a solo artist. At some point all singers were in a band. Annie Lennox was part of a duo. So much for equality. I think Pat would find it insulting that people dont think she was in a band. This again is idiot rankings. Stevie should be yanked because she was never a lead singer of Fleetwood Mac (no matter what you say).

These lists suck as much as Unconditional Love

How can you be a the fronts woman of a duo ?

Ike and Tina Turner and Sonny and Cher were asking the same thing!

Pat Benatar has been adamant in her tours that husband Neil Giraldo get billing as a duo, so in that case, Pat would be part of a duo, but I suspect whoever wrote that list didn’t know that.

Also, the list didn’t say lead singer… it said front woman. Not that there’s much of a difference to me.

Pat Benatar was a soloist. That's why she isn't on the list. I'm surprised Karen Carpenter is soo low. In the early 70s, she was the voice.

Were not the Carpenters a duo too?

You guys are crazy. You cant have it 20 ways. Hall and Oates won countless awards as a duo. No one considered them a band. But this list is a hodge podge of a little bit of everything. The definition of "front woman" needs to be defined.

Tina Turner was a front woman in a band? If you discount Pat Benatar then you cant include Tina either. Tina's husband performed with her just like Pat. If you include Stevie as a front woman for Fleetwood Mac then where is Christine McVie? Christine had more hits with the band than Stevie.

This list it total rubbish. Janis did perform early with 2 band but she left them before going on her own where she became the most famous. It would be like naming Stevie for Fritz, not Fleetwood Mac.

All rubbish I say.

This is another example where, though we enjoy finding our favorite singers, those lists are not to be taken so seriously.
