Who are your three favorite female singers?

I keep seeing the name of Joan Baez coming up. 

Certainly a great voice. Clear as any there's been.

Just not sure about the material. I wish she'd have cut loose from the crusading a little bit and treated us to a greater variety of material.

Of course everyone loves Diamonds and Rust, and I guess they always will.

3 is difficult. Easier to chose 5

Judy Garland - emotion overload
Doris Day - could sing the phone book
Petula Clark - a fine human being
Chrissie Hynde - real understanding
Patti Scialfa - a believable voice
