I am looking for some awesome female fronted rock, like The Gathering. Yeah, I am looking for someone on the level of Anneke van Giersbergen. So, any recommendations?

I don't really know her music, but the best stuff I can think of is…

The Pretenders

Patti Smith

Sleater-Kinney

The Breeders

Wussy

Depends on your definition of "rock" or how old of music you are willing to go for...

But I have always loved Stevie Nicks and the Fleetwood Mac stuff. Feel free to flail me.

Also:

Jefferson Airplane/Starship
Stevie Nicks (from Fleetwood Mac)
Blondie
Alanis Morrisette
Suzi Quatro
Joan Jett

"Fronted"

Well one of my favorite bands right now is Black Mountain... They have a female vocalists who comes in-and-out.. You'll like it.

 

[Warhawk]

Within Temptation
Nightwish

Only ones I listen to.
Unless they don't apply, because I figured someone would mention them by now...

Lol can't forget Arch Enemy...

 

[ArmAndHammer]

Flyleaf
Poe
Jolie Holland though not really rock but an awesome old timey voice.

 

[Uncle Erik]

Try Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Breeders. Letters to Cleo had a few good songs, too.

Are these considered old school now?

 

[krmathis]

Evanescence maybe?

Yeah, Amy Lee is always a good one as is Dido. I also like Natasha Bedingfield's voice though she is too much a pop singer for my taste. The Corrs are good stuff but maybe not quite rock enough. A Fine Frenzy is another I enjoy. Check out Die Happy too if you have not done so before.
