Top 10 Frontwomen In Hard Rock And Heavy Metal

This list is disgraceful Amy at number 5, Maria Brink in honourable mentions & not on the list & not even a mention for Mixi from stitched up heart

1. Linda Perry
2. Tarja Turunen
3. Maria Brink
4. Taylor Momsen
5. Amy Lee
6. Lizzy Hale

Taylor momsen should be in top 10

The fact that maria brink is just an honorable mention is insane she could be #1 to alot of people !!!

Only a mention for “ in this moment” and “ the pretty reckless” dumb!! They should make the list over some of the lame shit that made the list.

I hate it when people say that females are all about being princessy, and all sweet and nice, and sunshine lolipops. And I even hate it more when people say metal rock or any time of screaming songs for just for men and not women. I mean anything a man can do, a woman can do too. Besides Joan Jett sings heavy metal rock, and she's female, so if she can, we can too!

Joan Jett is better then every lady on this list

Tarja will ALWAYS be on the very top. The best of the best.

10.Hayley Williams (Paramore)
9.Debbie Harry (Blondie)
8.Stevie Nicks
7.Maria Brink (In This Moment)
6.Floor Jansen (After Forever)
5.Sharon Den Adel (Within Temptation)
4.Lacey Sturm (Flyleaf)
3.Taylor Momsen (The Pretty Reckless)
2.Dolores O’Riordan (The Cranberries)
1.Amy Lee (Evanescence)

How is skin not on this list pfft

Not choosing Amy Lee as #1 seems like a total troll move.

Rename this ‘in the western world’. This list isn’t even close without Saiki Atsumi, lead singer of Band Maid. Or Suzuka Nakamoto, lead singer of BabyMetal. Or Mayu, lead singer of Nemophila. Or Asami lead singer of Lovebites. There are others, but this post is getting too long.

Nah i dont agree with your list. amy 1

WatchMojo finally go a #1 right! But you left out Liv Kristine (definite top 3 contender) and Anders Jacobsson, Sabine Dünser, Vibeke Stene, Chelsea Wolfe

Noora Louhimo of Battle Beast definitely deserves a spot.

we missed Jinjer !! with Tetjana Schmajljuk

Tarja und Doro sind mit Abstand die besten auf der Liste.

Top 10?

Listening to Tarja always gives me the chills!

❤❤❤ Lzzy hale the best

Who is in the thumbnail picture

This list sucks.

All of them great, but the future is "The Warning", a 3-sister band from Monterrey, Mexico. More hard rock than metal, but so good that they have revived an interest among old-school rock fans that had been long dormant. Lead singer Danela Villareal was recently gifted a guitar by Lzzy Hale, with clear inferences that she was the future.

Floor FTW

Only one worse than Tarja was arch enemy

Lzzy,Taylor momson,litaford, awesome period,hard rock Opera fuc*that

Mia Zapata from The Gits was absolutely amazing. We lost not just an amazing woman, but also what could have been one of the best female lead bands of all time.

i wan adriana grand in my metal band

Tarja is perfect always number one

Floor isn't IN the top 10, only 'honorable mention'? You're stupid

And then come times after 2019 with probably the best female screamer Courtney LaPlante

You overlooked L7 and Kittie?

Alissa White/Gluz????????? (Arch Enemy)

Gotta be honest, happy that Scabbia got some love.

Hell NO! Amy Lee should of been #1 on every list. She’s amazing in all she does. Very talented ❤❤❤

Kind of a neo-skunk look!

Alissa White-Gluz #1

If you’re going to nominate Nightwish, you can’t do it with the Tarja, the real frontwomen that made this band what it is today

Ann Wilson? Lita Ford? Lee Aaron? Joan Jett?

Nightwish chic sounds severely overrated. 👎 hardpass!

Amy Lee #1 always ❤️

Why did I get such an old recommendation? We need a new one in which Tatiana from Jinjer must be included. Among others

Time for a updated list.

You mentioned already Simone Simons, Sharon den Adel, Floor Jansen forgetting the amazing female fronted singers Manda Ophuis, Zora Cock, Laura Guldemond, Lisette van den Berg, Anneke van Giersbergen, Charlotte Wessels, Marjan Welman, and Dianne van Giersbergen. All from Dutch origin, and so every country has its list of great female fronted singers in rock/ metal bands.

Where's Dorothy??

I miss Jennifer Haben / Beyond the black ...

Sharon and Simone should both be higher

I’m not knocking the women you’ve mentioned here but how can you neglect the women who practically started it all, the ones who made it possible for women to be in hard rock and metal, women like Anne and Nancy Wilson (Heart), Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, and others of their generation? If it wasn’t for the boldness of these women from the 70s and 80s, women wouldn’t have a place in rock and heavy metal music.

Angela Gossow is awesome!!! Taylor is my absolute favorite of current rock chicks. Would like to see what you have to say about women that lead the way in the 70s and 80s, like Joan Jett, Debbie Harry, Pat Benatar, Lita Ford, etc.
