A tradition that may have started with Janis Joplin, Cherie Currie, and other female rock vocalists of the 60s and 70s, gained enormous space and prominence from the 80s onwards, resulting in a vast collection of bands and songs today, magnificently performed by female vocalists.
From classic styles like those of Tarja Turunen and Floor Jansen, through more Rock 'n Roll vocals like those of Lita Ford and Ann Wilson, to heavier lines like Doro Pesch and Maria Brink, we decided to list in this Top 11 incredible songs with female vocals.
