10 Greatest Female Hard Rock Singers Of All Time
5. Lzzy Hale - Halestorm
Hard rock has certainly not been a stranger to the female frontwoman as of late. From the bluesy belters back in the '60s to the explosion of riot grrl in the '90s, there was no real reason to cower to the typical male frontman anymore. Even though we do see plenty of rock frontmen in the public eye, Lzzy Hale makes most of them look like children by comparison.
Across Halestorm's discography, Lzzy has turned in some of the most ferocious vocal performances in recent memory, as she reaches deep down in her soul for tracks like Miss the Misery. However, the growly side of Hale's voice is just a drop in the bucket as to what she can really do.
Combining layers of glam rock, metal, and just the slightest traces of pop sensibilities, Hale is also one of the more musical performers in recent memory, as she trades harmony lines with herself whenever she straps on her guitar.
As opposed to the more traditional styles that we see from the hard rock world, Hale sounds like she took all of the sounds of acts like Black Sabbath, Def Leppard, and Cinderella and applied them to create one of the most aggressive deliveries in recent memory. Forget those nu metal kids...this is where the future of rock is really heading.
