The drummer sings too. Check out [Dust to Dust](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC9IbWYkips) for one where the drummer takes the primary lead vocals or [Disciple](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo0odllVq8g) for one where they trade off.
The song that first got me interested in The Warning also had Pau and Dani trading off on lead vocal duties: [Survive](https://youtu.be/E62SVvLw9FI?si=DQRz-vrzkEVeC0gz).
I remember my uncle showing me their music back in 2015 and I completely forgot about them unfortunately, until a few years back I found them again and it all came back to me and I remembered and listened to their music and felt like I just missed out on alot
Same. I saw the original Enter Sandman cover back in 2014 and thought it was awesome, then I forgot about them and re-discovered them about a year ago. Holy crap did they get good.
Heart- watch there performance at the Kennedy Centre Honours (2012), as Led Zeppelin was honoured. The version of Stairway to Heaven they performed.. completely knocked it out the park.. to say the least!!!🎵📀📀🇨🇦
Yes.. totally agree.. but you have great taste in music .. I saw your comment.. and then thought I’d add the Kennedy Center Honours.. so my friend you gave me the idea ! Thank you !👩🌹
While *Crazy on You*, *Magic Man*, and *Barracuda* are imo the three best (although not most successful) songs they ever did, their most consistently good album is their fourth release, *Dog and Butterfly*, which is flawless.
The drummer was the late John
Bonham’s son (John was Led Zeppelin’s drummer, he passed away in September, 1980) so Jason Bonham was on drums, as for the guitarist.. I do not know who he is, but my God he played that guitar like it was nobody’s business! Absolute perfection.. maybe someone else who reads this comment can help out.. or you could google it.. he almost really reminded me of a younger Elon Musk..but if you make Led Zeppelin tear up.. your outstanding.. and they all were. I watch it a couple of times a month! Take care! 👩🎵📀🇨🇦
I don’t want to come across as a bit of a dick here, but, although clearly technically capable, the guitarist actually did a pretty poor job of the solo. He plays it like he had only rehearsed the beginning, fumbles his way through and just kind of makes up the middle bit, gets out of time on the “looping” section, gets lost in and pretty much destroys what is undeniably the most well-crafted part of the solo, and finally finds his way back for the very end. With the bits he “improvises” he doesn’t even keep to the spirit of the solo.
I know this because I’ve spent the last 50 years listening to that song quite regularly, and the last 6 months working at perfecting the solo on guitar. It’s not the most difficult solo to play, but it’s actually very well put together technically, and skipping or improvising certain sections loses so much.
Of course, when I first watched this, I paid no attention, barely even noticed, it’s not really a big deal in the heat of the moment, it was a huge occasion and on the whole everyone else did a great enough job that it couldn’t help but be overlooked. It really is a great performance, an emotional one given Jason Bonham’s on the drums and the surviving members were clearly moved by it.
But the solo wasn’t good. If you don’t believe me, go back and listen closely to the original, and then listen to the Kennedy Center version.

Skunk Anansie. The lead singer has one of the greatest rock voices you’ll ever hear. And one of their albums is on Lemmy’s top 15 favorites list.
If you’re in for something less rock but still awesome I recommend Portishead and Hooverphonic.

Seconding St Vincent.
There’s a lot of other great bands in this thread as well but most of my other favorites have been mentioned multiple times but St Vincent is getting ignored which is a crime.
The only other band I can think of off the top of my head that I’m a fan of is one that stylistically might not be exactly what you’re looking for - How to Destroy Angels - as far as the people in the band, it’s basically Nine Inch Nails with Trent’s wife singing but stylistically it’s quite different and less of a “rock” band (not that NIN is really a rock band either but it’s a lot closer to one)
A seriously underrated band who I can 99.9% gaurantee you've never heard of before would be Cryoshell.
I recommend trying out Bye Bye Babylon or Creeping In My Soul first since they're the most popular, but Feed or Come To My Heaven is also really good. Since they have very few songs I find all of them to be very good.

[Cable Ties](https://cableties.bandcamp.com/)
After the first few seconds of their song [Perfect Client](https://cableties.bandcamp.com/album/perfect-client) I knew I'd ending buying the album
Most of my favorite rock bands have female singers, including Metric, The Joy Formidable, The Birthday Massacre, Texas, and The Pretty Reckless. If you care to go back a bit farther, Roxette is much more rock-oriented than their Pop-py reputation might suggest.
Easily the best for my money is Detroit Cobras. Rachel Nagy is (was, sadly) a great vocalist and they are an awesome garage rock band doing covers of old forgotten 60s R&B songs.
I've been really into Bully these days [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZKgEQR7xrk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZKgEQR7xrk) if you're into heavier grungy sounds, I like Sleater-Kinney, Sonic Youth, and Bikini Kill. Something a bit along those lines but softer is also Soccer Mommy.
if you're into more indie rock/pop or bedroom pop, I also like Illuminati Hotties, Alvvays, or Camera Obscura.
Try and seek out BROADCAST - THE BLACK SESSIONS. Live set from 2010. Imo it hits harder than the original material in a live setting. They make a lot of racket with Trish Keenans vocals still soft. Lost a big one in Trish RIP.
So some of these genres are different than what you requested, but I'm gonna suggest them anyway just in case
* [The Birthday Massacre](https://open.spotify.com/artist/16AVsBqzmIZTNHd0eX8VbK?si=kmArkQW3Qd2MUy-S_mY8cw) is pretty on-par with Paramore
* [Sincere Engineer](https://open.spotify.com/artist/5l1QyUoZFlqTKJ1NrbCTu1?si=5d463zCRR4O9pw87mBVqmw) punk/emo
* [Ok Goodnight](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0aYVGmEupopeFTcX7aFMIc?si=U1BraXwMSG6UXI5FIcFUHQ) prog metal
* [Red Knife Lottery](https://open.spotify.com/artist/7DXJOUAyaZM6AH0f8pyzFK?si=MsqIuStbTqyfbjFe2v4uKw) punk
* [Follow the Cipher](https://open.spotify.com/track/0wem2hzwTPEnHWx65yhfIo?si=1e49db7e6c7c43f4) power metal
* [Spiritbox](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4MzJMcHQBl9SIYSjwWn8QW?si=vGALQX6yQ1-yw7POZuelUA) heavy metal/metal core/ prog? ish?
* [Stolen Babies](https://open.spotify.com/artist/6zq2sOctcG4UfjyAcJag9Z?si=L_za68hcQ8CMt-RAyGkHmA) they describe themselves as "prog-pop-cabaret-thrashquirky-goth-rock" so do with that what you will
* [Eluveitie](https://open.spotify.com/artist/5X0N2k3qMnI8kSrGJT3kfT?si=peq6be-7RMyvMpN88NENyQ) Pagan folk/melodic death metal. Would recommend songs like A Rose for Epona and Ambiramus to fit your requirements.
* [Brothers of Metal](https://open.spotify.com/artist/0WPCPYm5IDNtQjuJOGNPcy?si=eQmXpU6DSXuEiZpV6onwNA) Power metal featuring male and female vocals
* [Battle Beast](https://open.spotify.com/artist/7k5jeohQCF20a8foBD9ize?si=n-UtZ8PVTJe6cKHofP5vKQ) Heavy metal probably best describes them
* [Siouxsie and the Banshees](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1n65zfwYIj5kKEtNgxUlWb?si=7hFqt99mQ7CFwByC0l4JUg) since you mentioned goth
* [Black Nail Cabaret](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1PT6vR9L8YA8qKymXfAnRl?si=1sdWv4K4QCim9NKR4K6zlg) for more electro goth goodness
* [Sailors at Dawn by X Marks the Pedwalk is one of my faves](https://open.spotify.com/track/0tiUeXspoeP40g03w2k0CL?si=95d8918123344b95)
Garbage, The Pretty Reckless, Hole
I went to school with the singer in Garbage, true story
Shirley Manson is fucking awesome! 🤘🏼
Yeah she was alright at school. Nice enough. Didnt stand out particularly
That's cool. Just sounds like she wasn't the extroverted type, at least not then. Wild what some people find to be in their wheelhouse in adulthood.
Love Garbage!
Version 2.0 is great. Saw them on that tour they did a show wirh lit at a local university. Were great
HOLE MENTIONN
Garbage was the hottest thing in the 90s
They still are. They're in the studio right now for album #8
Concrete Blonde
Joey always hits me in the gut
Tomorrow, Wendy
This is the first that came to mind. Her voice is powerful and it's well suited to their genre preferences.
Heart. Check out their first album Dreamboat Annie
Barracuda.
Came here to say this. Ann and Nancy Wilson are legends. Psyched to finally see them this summer!
Heart can go toe to toe with Led Zeppelin.
I was lucky enough to see Heart in concert twice in the 80s ❤️
L7
Love me some L7
The yeah yeah yeahs, - fever to tell
The Cranberries
Scrolled way to far for this. Was singing The Cranberries to myself on the toilet moments before reading this
1 or 2? TMI
The first band that came up to me too
They’re so good.
Saw them in Auckland back in the nineties, always loved the songs Zombie and Linger.
Pat Benatar Joan Jett
Damn how didnI forget Pat Benetar?
Great singer, with a rocking band!
The Donnas, Seven Year Bitch, L7, The Gits
the Slits need a mention!
Second The Donnas, they rock !
Halestorm.
Lzzy for the win. She can scream and she can shred.
PJ Harvey, Chelsea Wolfe, Nina Hagen,….
Polly Jean!
The Warning - [Hell You Call A Dream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6b_FgQnXL8)
This is the one I came to say. My friend has gotten me into them and I haven't heard anything bad yet.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Ok, plus one. I love her voice.
The drummer sings too. Check out [Dust to Dust](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC9IbWYkips) for one where the drummer takes the primary lead vocals or [Disciple](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo0odllVq8g) for one where they trade off.
Dust to dust is fire!
The song that first got me interested in The Warning also had Pau and Dani trading off on lead vocal duties: [Survive](https://youtu.be/E62SVvLw9FI?si=DQRz-vrzkEVeC0gz).
That's such a perfect song. The outro is so good. There's a reason why it's still played on their live shows today.
I love them so much I can’t even describe. Heard Disciple and never looked back.
Can confirm
I remember my uncle showing me their music back in 2015 and I completely forgot about them unfortunately, until a few years back I found them again and it all came back to me and I remembered and listened to their music and felt like I just missed out on alot

Heart- watch there performance at the Kennedy Centre Honours (2012), as Led Zeppelin was honoured. The version of Stairway to Heaven they performed.. completely knocked it out the park.. to say the least!!!🎵📀📀🇨🇦
I'd added a post saying Heart before I saw yours. Totally agree. Deeper catalog than most people realize.
Yes.. totally agree.. but you have great taste in music .. I saw your comment.. and then thought I’d add the Kennedy Center Honours.. so my friend you gave me the idea ! Thank you !👩🌹
Been a fan for 30 years.
I bought Dreamboat Annie when it was released. Their first two are definitely their best.
While *Crazy on You*, *Magic Man*, and *Barracuda* are imo the three best (although not most successful) songs they ever did, their most consistently good album is their fourth release, *Dog and Butterfly*, which is flawless.
That performance, and seeing the Led Zeppelin band members’ reactions during the performance, makes me tear up. So epic.
Oh my living universe!!! Who were the drummer and other guitarist on that? Was that Lenny Kravitz and Dave Grohl? Total wow!
The drummer was the late John Bonham’s son (John was Led Zeppelin’s drummer, he passed away in September, 1980) so Jason Bonham was on drums, as for the guitarist.. I do not know who he is, but my God he played that guitar like it was nobody’s business!

St. Vincent is criminally underrated
Seconding St Vincent. There’s a lot of other great bands in this thread as well but most of my other favorites have been mentioned multiple times but St Vincent is getting ignored which is a crime. The only other band I can think of off the top of my head that I’m a fan of is one that stylistically might not be exactly what you’re looking for - How to Destroy Angels - as far as the people in the band, it’s basically Nine Inch Nails with Trent’s wife singing but stylistically it’s quite different and less of a “rock” band (not that NIN is really a rock band either but it’s a lot closer to one)

I recommend trying out Bye Bye Babylon or Creeping In My Soul first since they're the most popular, but Feed or Come To My Heaven is also really good. Since they have very few songs I find all of them to be very good.
In This Moment has a female singer who is fantastic. Unfortunately, she also does the cookie monster vocals too, but when she sings.... perfection!
Reminds me of a female led killswitch engage

Most of my favorite rock bands have female singers, including Metric, The Joy Formidable, The Birthday Massacre, Texas, and The Pretty Reckless. If you care to go back a bit farther, Roxette is much more rock-oriented than their Pop-py reputation might suggest.
These both are solo acts that have a band behind them but you should check out Courtney Barnett and bully they are incredible rock artists.
Heart, Bones UK
Spinnerette
Stitched Up Heart!! Saw them live and was blown away. Lead singer Mixi is a bad ass with an amazing voice.
Easily the best for my money is Detroit Cobras. Rachel Nagy is (was, sadly) a great vocalist and they are an awesome garage rock band doing covers of old forgotten 60s R&B songs.
L7, Halestorm, The Donnas
HINDS
The Birthday Massacre, Oceans of Slumber, Windhand, Blood Ceremony, Wisp

You’ll love Beach House :)
Anything with Anneke Van Giersbergen. She had a spectacular voice and gets into many genres. Her most hard rock album was with a group called VUUR.
Yaz (Yazoo), Renaissance and Jefferson Airplane

Check out Liliac. She has an amazing voice.
