Listen to Sons and Daughters or stop living.

There is no other recourse. Also, The Coathangers.

Hmmm. 9 is it? Let me see...

Blondie
Cardigans
Evanescence
Garbage
Hole
No Doubt
Pretenders
Siouxsie And The Banshees
The Breeders?

Those would be my guesses for the 9 you've heard of

I was closer to 27 when I read through it. Though, you did forget Fleetwood Mac.

Liz Phair (solo artist?)
PJ Harvey (solo artist?)
The Sundays
The Cranberries

Wow some of those bands bring back memories.....Crass, Souxie and the Banshees, Veruka Salt, Elastica, Babes in Toyland
Someone mentioned KMFDM - not an official female lead singer

Holy Roman Empire
Sleater-Kinney
Tsunami Bomb(no longer around )

and for fuck's sake, how did noone mention:

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

Fucking fantastic live.

Edit: Evanesence and The Donnas violate the 'that don't suck' qualifier.

Moar edit: Forgot The Distillers...*fapfapfap* @ Brody Dalle

Pretty decent list there BF.. I think I've heard about 20 of 'em and still have some CDs lying around.

Here's a few more... kinda amazed no one mentioned the older ones:
The Go-Gos
The Bangles
Eurythmics
Belly
Shikaree
Vixen
Berlin
Sonic Youth
Letters to Cleo
Concrete Blonde

P.S. Hayley from Paramore needs to DIAF.

We talking about any kind of rock?

I listen to tons of groups with female leads.

Just noticed I left 'Juliette and the Licks' off the list too.

Great band too
