I categorize and rank everything. It's how my brain works. I cannot stop it.
Anyway, here's my current top 5 female vocalists (ranked in terms of what I like in a vocalist only).
1. Carah Faye Charnow (Shiny Toy Guns, Versant)
Untouchable tone with a sweetness and a hint of an edge. When she is at her best, she is unmatched, though I'm less enthused with her solo work. My only real criticism is that there's so little of her best work, which was in Versant.
Favourite song: Push Away - Versant - heartbeats EP
2. Sarah "Chibi" Taylor (The Birthday Massacre)
Great tone with lots of variety in style that always works. Prolific as hell. Knows exactly what she's going for and never fails to get there.
Favourite song: In This Moment - The Birthday Massacre - Hide and Seek
3. Shirley Manson (Garbage, Angelfish)
You'd never know how Scottish she is if you'd only ever heard her sing. Love her low notes and ability to bring out the edge when needed. Also the one who has been in my top five the longest.
Favourite song: As Heaven Is Wide - Garbage - Garbage
4. Kristen May (Vedera, Flyleaf)
If sweetness in tone is something I prize, no one has ever had more than Kristen. Unfortunately, a major strike against her is how little of her music exists.
Favourite song: Easy Love - Kristen May - Conversations
5. Valerie Anne Poxleitner (Lights)
While she relies on electronic assistance more than others on this list, she nevertheless has a beautiful voice and tone. Huge range and prolific.
Favourite song: Almost Had Me - Lights - Skin & Earth

Let me see you stripped
Down to the bone
Let me hear you make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking just for me

Day 19 - A song that makes you think about life
Standing there alone, the ship is waiting
All systems are go
Are you sure?
Control is not convinced
But the computer has the evidence
No need to abort
The countdown starts
Watching in a trance, the crew is certain
Nothing left to chance, all is working
Trying to relax, up in the capsule
"Send me up a drink", jokes Major Tom
The count goes on
Four, three, two, one
Earth below us
Drifting, falling, floating weightless
Calling, calling home
Second stage is cut
We're now in orbit
Stabilizers up, running perfect
Starting to collect requested data
"What will it affect, when all is done?"
Thinks Major Tom
Back at ground control
There is a problem
"Go to rockets full"
Not responding
"Hello Major Tom, are you receiving?
Turn the thrusters on
We're standing by"
There's no reply
Four, three, two, one
Earth below us
Drifting, falling, floating weightless
Calling, calling home
Across the stratosphere, a final message
"Give my wife my love"
Then nothing more
Far beneath the ship, the world is mourning
They don't realize, he's alive
No one understands, but Major Tom sees
Now the light commands
This is my home, I'm coming home"
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating weightless
Calling home
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating weightless
Calling home
Earth below us
Drifting, falling
Floating weightless
Calling, calling home
Home
Home
Home
Home
Home
Home
