Most underrated female recording artists..

I'll venture here. My take on female vocalists is a bit different because it is about the music they write and sing and not necessarily if they are considered great vocal talents. Molly Rankin (Alvvays) The Raincoats Deborah Iyall (Romeo Void) PJ Harvey Aimee Mann Cherry Glazerr Sad13 (solo and Speedy Ortiz) Courtney Barnett Elizabeth Frasier (Cocteau Twins) Kerry Alexander (Bad Bad Hats) Victoria Legrand (Beach House) Lyn Byrd (Comateens) Patti Smith Sonya Madan (Echobelly) Marijne van der Vlugt (Salad) Justine Frischmann (Elastica) Mary Timony (solo and several bands, currently Ex Hex) Corin Tucker (Sleater Kinney) Shirley Manson (Garbage) Marissa Paternoster (Screaming Females) Phoebe Bridgers Julien Baker Lucy Dacus Michelle Zauner (Japanese Breakfast) Julia Jacklin Juliana Hatfield Kate Bush Joni Mitchell Alison Mosshart (The Kills) Lene Lovich Nina Hagen Jill Cunniff (Luscious Jackson) Miki Berenyi (Lush) MIYNT (don't know the singer/songwriter's name) Pip Blom Kay Hanley (Letters to Cleo) Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star) Ambrosia Parsley (Shivaree) Siouxsie Sioux Annie Clark (St. Vincent) Suzanne Vega Tori Amos Tristen (Tristen Gaspadarek) Kristin Hersh (Solo and Throwing Muses) Tonya Donnelly (Throwing Muses and Belly) Ellie Rowsell (Wolf Alice) Jenn Wasner (Wye Oak) Alison Moyet (Yazoo) Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs) Exene Cervenka (X) Bjork Fiona Apple Liz Phair Annie Lennox Adrianne Lenker (Big Thief) Margaret Glaspy I guess that's enough even though there are a ton more.

@jeffrey75 There are many more.including the ones you mentioned. I could add Beth Ditto, Dominique Durand (Ivy), Jenny Lewis, Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, Bat for Lashes, Ani Defranco, Debbie Harry, Ari Up (Slits), Grace Jones, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), Tracy Tracy (The Primitives), Cindy Williams and Kate Pierson (B52s) . . . But I won't. :)
