Warlock (Doro Pesch)
The Runaways
The Go-Go's
Zed Yago

and these might not class as bands although they all front bands rather than sing solo - Suzie Quattro, Allanah Myles and Pat Benatar and more folk than rock - Steeleye Span and Blackmore's Night (the later featuring quite a few Rainbow tracks as it includes Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple/Rainbow).

Hole
Veruca Salt
Lush
Breeders
L7

Mine are old now. We are really missing some great rock with female vocals now. Paramore doesn't do a lot for me.

I'm a big Goldfrapp fan, but I don't consider them a rock band, more electro/dance.

Skunk Anansie are undoubtedly the best band fronted by a woman. They're by far my favourites and by a long shot.

Bands like Goldfrapp and CSS, although I love them too, are hardly Skuzz material

You beat me to those!!

I'd also add:

The Reasoning
Breathing Space
Unexpect
The Reasoning and Breathing Space are great bands. Livvy has a great voice. I haven't heard Unexpect though.

Unexpect are a completely bonkers prog band from Canada.

It is remarkable just how many of the up-and-coming prog bands have female vocalists now though!

Good list of bands here but no-one has mentioned Inkubus Sukkubus! Fonted by the brilliant Candia Ridley, more Pagan Rock but still rock
