Female fronted rock?

[leticia]

I've been trying to train up a pandora station that plays nothing but strong female-fronted rock. I'm doing this looking for songs that have the potential to be character themesongs for my various Exalted characters, but it's been fairly slim pickings

I once spent eight months trying to train a Pandora station to just play alternative/rock/electronic stuff with female vocalists, and it never learned, despite occasionally showing that it knew female/male vocalists were criteria to be sorted by. So...uh. Good luck? (Mine was mostly stuff like Evanescence, Plumb, Freezepop... I think these days I'd add Florence & The Machine.)

Garbage? Within Temptation? Nightwish? Lacuna Coil? I'm a bit fond of the more operatic voices, so I'm not sure what you like. Hailstorm! I really enjoy 'Freak Like Me', but I don't know that I've heard more stuff by them.

...and you already had Halestorm listed. Learn2readn00b. :(

I have another station for all the symphonic/operatic metal type. Garbage is right along the lines I'm looking for though and I don't know why I missed them. Oops!

*adds a Garbage seed... immediately starts getting Nine Inch Nails. Well, it's good music, but STILL MISSING THE POINT, PANDORA*

I have a Pandora station that runs something like 75% female vocals, started from Guano Apes (singer: Sandra Nasic). Here's some highlights:

Paramore
Flyleaf
Birthday Massacre
Fireflight
In This Moment
Halestorm
OTEP
Straight Line Stitch
Lacuna Coil

Eluveitie has both female and male-fronted, check out "Omnos" (initial typo: Omnom)

Someone else mentioned Nightwish, there's a large chuck of that sort of operatic-metal that's female fronted.

Epica
Within Temptation
Delain
Sirenia
