Concrete Blonde - listen to the "Bloodletting album", particularly "Forever, Wendy".
Speaking of Letters to Cleo, I was just reading about the lead singer - she's now doing backup for the Hannah Montana tour. |

Thanks for the suggestions. Thus far i've added the Distillers "Add the Blood" Kelly Osbourne "shut up" (i was tempted on adding papa don't preach, i actually like that song.) the Dollyrots "Because I'm Awsome" In Flames "dead end" and 2 you all haven't mentioned (that i kinda just thought off Light This City "The Unwelcome Savior" (def. fits the heavyness i was looking for.) The Faders "No Sleep Tonight" (from the veronica mars soundtrack) I need like 2 or 3 more. |
oh, how could I forget X?

I still think <b>Eisley</b> would fit beautifully in that mix! ;)

Within Temptation
Tristania Also, while not technically female fronted, they use a TON of female vocals, so I'll add to the list: Therion (I was going to suggest Nightwish, Lacuna Coil, The Gathering, and Theatre of Tragedy, but they're already taken) |

Well the thread says "female fronted rock/metal mix cd". Maybe it should have said "female fronted mix CD". Either way, I hope you checked out all our suggestions and got turned onto something new! |
Avril Lavigne? Seriously?
Put some Paramore on there. EDIT: Whoops, you did. |

Kay, finished, all i need to do is burn the mfer sometime tomorrow (don't have a cd on me). Thanks for the suggestions, and thanks to itunes for having them all (and not fuckin freezing on me lol).
24 tracks in all 1. "I Can Do Better" Avril Lavgine (it has Travis Barker on drums, does that add 'rock/punk' credibility :wink:) 2."The Day You Died" Arch Enemy (according to the liner notes, the song is about the movie 'grave of the fireflies', something i've been meaning to check out.) 3."Breed" Otep (Nirvana cover, strange to be able to actually understand the lyrics lol 4."Because I'm Awesome" The Dollyrots 5."Cassie" Flyleaf 6."Halleluja" Paramore 7."Daddy's Falling Angel" In This Moment 8."The Howling" Within Temptation 9."Song With a Mission" The Sounds 10."Suck" Kittie 11."Date With the Night" Yeah Yeah Yeahs 12."The Unwelcome Savior" Light This City 13."No Sleep Tonight" The Faders 14."Changing Times" Walls of Jericho 15."Shut Up" Kelly Osbourne 16."Weight of the World" Evanesance 17."Nemo" Nightwish (decided to go with the older) 18."Hole" Kelly Clarkson 19."Take It Off" The Donnas 20."Drain The Blood" The Distillers 21"Bad Boyfriend" Garbage 22."Dead End" In Flames 23."Mary Janes Shoes" Fergie 24."Buisness Suits and Combat Boots" The Agonist (has a nice little piano fade out to end the album, got lucky i guess, got it from itunes) Now, how did i manage to fit 24 songs on a 80 min cd? Used a feature on itunes where you can change the end and start time, essentially editing out the dead air between songs, usually 2 or 3 seconds, and using 2 really short songs. I had it at 78 minutes, did some reshuffuling of songs and what not, added "changing times" by Walls of Jericho which is 1:04 or 57 sec editing out the dead air, and put the little faux rocker part of "Mary Jane's Shoes" by Fergie, which only lasted 44 seconds, and i'm now at 79:54. Yeah, it might not be all rock and metal but as Zach De La Rocha said "fuck you i won't do what you tell me" (and listen to my own thread title :lol: Now bash me all you want for some of the choices. |
