OK. So which female artists NOT associated with duo, group etc would make your top 10. Here's mine..in no particular order
Shania Twain..Up isn't just a movie.
Bjork..ok, she was in the sugacubes, but did anyone listen then?
KD Lang..So what she's a Canadian lesbian.
PJ Harvey..Never heard of her..tough!
Alicia keys..Enough said.
Donna Summer..so to annoy everyone, here comes..
Barbara Streisand...One of the most underrated albums = WET
Edith Piaf...Oui?
Alanis Morissette
Sophie Milman
Emmylou Harris!
Neko Case!
KT Oslin
Celine Dion
Lady Gaga
Josephine Baker
Edith Piaf
Sarah Vaughan
Loreen McKennitt
Sade
Amy Grant
......Bjork, now I used to listen to her years ago
Janis Joplin
Dude — Alanis Morissette is intolerable. Bjork is almost as bad.
I don’t listen to that many female singers, now that I think of it — and most of them are rock singers (i.e. in a group). I’m with you on Shania Twain. I’d add Carrie Underwood. I like Avril Lavigne pretty well.

Sarah and Loreen are good calls. Too early to decide on Lady though
As far as vocals go, Karen Carpenter could out-sing anyone. I defy someone to find a better vocalist.
I assume this is limited to pop or rock? Otherwise, no top solo women list could be complete without Patsy Cline.
In fact, even if it’s limited to pop and rock, Patsy Cline still probably deserves to be on the list. Too much influence.
Patsy Cline.
100 percent agree, but i did ask no duos!
Keep smiling,
