Co-lead with a male definitely doesn't count i.e Sonic Youth.

the annoying questions would be stuff like sonic youth with dual lead vocalists who are male and female

lmao

I didn’t love it but I dug it for the most part

muddy waters

what about sonic youth

Gotta draw the line somewhere.

Idk about you but if someone asks me what female artists I like, I wouldn't think 'Sonic Youth'

what about an instrumental jazz album where the bandleader is female but the rest of the band is male

i would think of kim gordon as one of my favorite female musicians

I DON'T KNOW

Then vote for Kim Gordon albums

Thurston sings more than her anyways

Is the album credited under her name? Yes

Otherwise no

@Galaxy what about Jefferson Airplane? B52s?

Shared lead vocals I don't think will count. I need to draw the line somewhere as much as I like Jefferson Airplane.

I think it will be

Solo female artists
All female groups
Unisex bands where the lead vocals are only female (no shared vocals with male).

so no fleetwood mac? with the nicks/buckingham/mcvie split vocal duties

Unfortunately not.

Nothing is set but I don't want the rules to become too complicated with asterisks and exceptions lol

i think thats a fair set of rules.

Lindsey Buckingham probably sings more individually than Stevie and Christie even if the female vocals combined outweigh the male vocals. Sorry.
