Hi,
So I need some new tunes to listen to, and I'm sick of four white guys moaning about their girlfriends and existential angst. I want something big and angry but TUNEFUL and also ROCKTASTIC with female singers.
I'm not fond of the wailing angsty types like Within Temptation, I'm talking more in the vein of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Gossip, etc
Other music I like:
Muse
The Arcade Fire
Kasabian (sort of)
Death Cab for Cutie
NIN
Rasputina (major props to ANYONE knows who that is haha)
Disturbed
Foo Fighters
RHCP
And a fair bit of 90s music, Counting Crows, The Cure, early blink 182...etc.
So, who is awesome?

most of all, most of all
someone said true love was dead
but i'm bound to fall
bound to fall for you
oh what can i do
Ani Difranco.
She's right up the alley of this category.
Especially 'Wish you were dead.'
Almost exactly what you are looking for.
No Doubt
And I can't leave a thread about female vocalists without recommending My Brightest Diamond.
Flyleaf?
I personally like Theater of Tragedy but they're not rock at all.
also try:
Guano Apes
wii code: 8041-7562-5268-4264
Sleater-Kinny
Bikini Kill
L7
Ladytron
Bright eyes
Bratmobile
Jack off Jill
Becasue I'm right.
Patti Smith. (Especially her version of Gloria, which genuinely offended my auntie. Yay!).
PJ Harvey. Try listening to 50ft Queenie, Rid of Me and Mansize - not her best, IMO, but they're the ones that came to mind reading your specification.
Probably not what you're looking for, but I wouldn't get in a fight with Nina Simone. She could knock me over just by singing at me.
Siouxie. I think it's fun, not angsty. Juju is a great album.
The Breeders. Don't know them well, but I like what I've heard.
Bjork isn't rock and usually isn't angry, but she's loud, playful, she's in your face and she isn't the joke people seem to think she is. Then again, she's pretty much the definition of wailing so your mileage may vary.
And I'm following a personl mission here, but I heart The Knife. The female singer has a loveable voice. They also did Heartbeats.
also i can't believe nobody's mentioned The Grates. Science is Golden!
Lunachicks!
BIKINI KILL!!!
Shit here's some more Bikini Kill.
Queen Adreena
Jane Jensen
Republica
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Surferosa
Tapping the Vein
The Gathering
The Sounds
The Pipettes
Seconded.
seconded, as well as Lacuna Coil, Evanescense, Ladytron and a vote for Silversun Pickups(people think they are lead only by a girl :x)
Before I clicked that link I thought the name of the band was actually "But I Heart The Knife" which would possibly be the best band name ever. I just had to listen to their song after seeing a name like that.
PJ Harvey is the queen, as far as I'm concerned. Check out Dry and Rid of Me, two of her earlier albums. Veruca Salt is awesome, Tori Amos can have some of that quiet, seething anger going on, and some of Amy Winehouse's stuff is pretty angry albeit with a bluesy feel.
If you're willing to listen to foreign music, check out Natalia y la Forquetina and Bebe. Especially Bebe. Spanish lyrics, but the emotions come across pretty well even if you don't understand the words.
Also, OP, good call on the Rasputina. How We Quit the Forest is one of my all time favorite albums.
Especially the former. Nothing says "I hate men" like actually hating men.
Some Sonic Youth songs showcase Kim Deal being pretty mean. You might like The Duke Spirit as well.
Beyond that, um... Four Non-Blondes? The Cranberries?
And their guns, and their bombs, in our heads, IN OUR HEADS THEY ARE FIGHTING!
