Vote for Dolores O'Riordan 4) Dolores O'Riordan

Dolores definitely shows a delightful, vibrant and musically talented influence on Alternative music with her band the Cranberries with soft ballads to guitar blazing rock songs she never disappoints and no one can even sound like her as she has such a wonderful unique voice and can definitely rock out on over 4 different instruments. Now solo she has not lost her touch but shows that a woman singer/songwriter can achieve success in a pop world

Alanis Morrisette is great, but she screams more. Dolores from the cranberries has beautiful vocals, especially in Linger.


Vote for Tori Amos 5) Tori Amos

Tori Amos is definitely a true talent that puts her own little edge to her songs

Her music...it’s so pure. I like In the Arms of the Angels the best!^^

Sarah has a smooth approach in the alternative industry. Her ballads are smooth and calming.

Vote for Shirley Manson 10) Shirley Manson

Her voice is amazing. Garbage wouldn’t be nearly as good if she wasn’t their vocalist.

johnnywhiplash

Shirley can even make gloomy sounding songs like Only happy when it rains and I would die for you catchy and addictive. She is a pleasant addition to Garbage as the band searched for a female frontwoman
