Still don't know why Pat isn't in the hall. Eh, the hall is overated anyway.Little Pat Benatar had a five octave range. Can't believe it's been 40 years!
Also Kate Bush. Such a voice.

I’m not the first person to think of this .. but for newer singers Lorde really reminds me of Kate Bushes in her own head persona/ lyrical weirdness
Thanks for bringing up Ms. Lennox, a gifted artist indeed.Many mentioned already but I have a few that may not have been mentioned yet...
-Patti Smith; back in the day I considered hers the best female voice in rock & roll.
-Annie Lennox; Oh my does she have a voice!
-Belinda Carlyle
