Haven't heard many female singers really, only bands/artists I can remember are Battle Beast, Nightwish, Tarja Turunen, Belly, and a couple of other bands that don't have guttural vocals. I feel like female vocals can have wider ranges and definitely a different feel to the male voice, but here's the catch: There's not really variety in the voice itself.
I'm yet to find a woman with the depth of Johnny Cash's voice or with the whisky-soaked clean raspiness of Mark Lanegan's voice or with the high falsetto of Axl Rose.
There's probably some women artists who do and I'd like to hear them, but the truth is that most of the time it's just feels generic to my ears.
Are male singers generally more unique/distinct than female singers?
