Apparently I'm much more into female vocals than male, even for rock (alternative, pop rock)....I've found The Material, and Hey Monday to be great bands with a lead female singer, but can't seem to find more groups...(don't mention Paramore...I'm serious)

The Pretenders
Pat Benatar
Quarterflash
Heart
Patti Smith
Jefferson Airplane

 

[muxenle]

fireflight
flyleaf(though judging from their first album, they aren't that great...)

 

[DeusEx]

Looking for more newer groups...

Fireflight is very listenable...=0

Flyleaf isn't bad...but reminds me of Paramore...

 

[fatman711]

Within Temptation

Lacuna Coil has a female lead singer but occasionally one of he men sings too.

I know, I like fireflight, I was just talking about flyleaf; at least with my current DAP/IEM/possibly sound file(got from amazon download) I get a lot of sibilance(think that's what its called, a small section that is really harsh/high pitched) seems to mostly happen with her high pitched screams/vocals, or it may be that she does something in them that just really grates with me(though I doubt that, coming from listening to metal with harsh vocals and lots of growls, and a couple of screams)

regardless it seems that I cringe at least once one every song from their self-tilted album

Have no idea how I missed this...maybe cause they're Dutch...although everything's in English?..

@muxenle, that's what I'm trying to avoid..high pitched screaming...coming from Acoustic Folk/Pop Rock here, so I'm
basically wanting a standout, lyrical female voice backed up (not drowned out) by a great band xD

I used to listen to Girlschool

Not sure if this classifies as "rock," per se, more like "indie." But Rilo Kiley and Jenny Lewis (same lead singer, the latter band is her solo career) has great stuff to listen to. Words can't explain how creative and clever the rhythms and lyrics are.
