leftybassman392 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Another vote for Alanis Morissette. Lots to choose from. While I'm here, what about Avril Lavigne? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevB Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Now I think of it, I don't think any of the songs in my current band's set are originally by female vocalists (80's/90's rock). It's surprising how far into the female range a lot of those classic 80's male vox go. In fact we have to play some of them a tone lower even with a female lead vox.

AussieBassman Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) How about some Grace Potter?

blue Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Females can be fickle. If they don't like certain songs they're not going to sing it. Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about; Crazy in love-Beyoncé Fancy- Iggy Azelea Bang Bang- Jessie J Bleeding Love- Leona Lewis Where love lives-Alison Limerick Chandelier-Sia Something kinda ooh-Girls Aloud That one Bastille covered... Rhythm of the night-Corona. Or go for the fun angle.... Boys boys boys-Sabrina. I always wanted to do a cover of China Black's 'Searching'. Not a female-fronted song, but it's a proper tune.

If one former guitarist didn't like a song, he completely ignored requests from the rest of the band that we do it. Don't have any such problems with our female vocalist. I think just about all of the female fronted tracks we cover have been mentioned by now. Mrs Zero inherited a set which was for a male-fronted band, then when our guitarist left and we replaced him, we revamped the set and brought in some Blondie, Eurhythmics, Pretenders, and Tina Turner. I think we still bring in about 50/50 male-fronted and female-fronted songs to the set. Edited November 11, 2016 by tauzero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Daveo Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Knowing this band well, they are stunning live btw. My throw in suggestions are Paramore- Decode No doubt- Simple Kind Of life Siouxsie and the banshees - the passenger Pink-Sober Skunk Anansie- Weak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
