My spiritual journey almost PARALLELED that of Tori Amos'. At least, as she described it in her music. I have loved her music and her strange powerful and beautiful lyrics for some time and even danced to dozens of her songs.
HOWEVER, she and I have had a parting of the ways. I accepted Christ in January and she (though a preacher's daughter) is still very much on the outs with Him.
I can't wait till she comes back to Jesus- her music will never be better and she'll probably bring along a few converts, too!

here we go .......
bee and flower - band based out of new york city that is sort of a orchestral feel but very dark. their female singer reminds me of a lazier sounding fiona apple. good stuff.
Bjork - very original chick. she is a very happy individual though you wouldn't know it most of the time in her music. often considered the female version of radiohead in the field of originality. cool music that doesn't follow any particular genre. would recommend getting some of her stuff.
Portishead - another band with a female singer that is also very original. can't really explain thier stuff other than it rules.
The Crannberries - very very cool band. once again with a female singer. irish band that was popular in the grunge era of the early to mid 90's. the singer is so very cool. very thick irish virbrato in her voice. very addictive.
Fiona Apple - what else can i say about her other than if i had the chance to marry her i would.
Sarah Mclaclan - (i always spell her name wrong) just plain cool.
Gold Frap - a band i just dicovered that is pretty cool. electronicish (if that's a word)
Kittie - all chick band. i have respect for a chick that can shread on the drums. and for a chick to scream like that is ausgezeichnet.
here are some others that i listen to but don't feel like listing them like the others........
Dido, Anita Kelsey, Lauren Hill, Norah Jones, and Sade. i know there is more i just can't think of any at the present time.

If I have to choose out of this group of females I would have to say Evanessence, but I love Fiona Apple, she is very talented.

Yes, Donna Summer. I grew up miserable because I knew I would never marry her.
My other votes are Crystal Lewis, Eva Cassidy and the band Still Breathing. All very different, but very good. Aw heck theres too many to list here!

Of these I really like a few songs by PJ Harvey, although questionable lyrics, but great voice. Portishead is AWESOME

ZOEgirl (particularly their newest CD)
The Corrs (my girlfriend hates them)
Chely Wright (I think I'd listen to her read a phonebook; something about her voice just clicks with me).

Evanescence is really, really good. Tori Amos is awesome, too. Annie Lenox is pretty cool, as well.

Have you ever watched her sing, like on television? Her eyes get so big and spacey looking... it's freaky.
