Who is my favorite female singer? Hope Sandoval. No contest
She has a voice like no one before or since. It is engaging and hits you right between the eyes - in the feels. Seriously, I defy anyone to listen to this and not go weak at the knees.

Song title: I'll Be Gone
Artist: Spectrum
Year: 1971
Why I like this song:
19670s Hippy/Progressive rock Australia style
One for all the drifters and losers in life, on the path to nowhere but somehow finding enjoyment in it/
Spectrum have an odd place in Australian rock history: On one hand they had a long and productive career but on the other, they had this one hit and were subsequently reduced to One Hit Wonder status. Still if their career was boiled down to this one hit then it's one to be proud of.

Song title: Kiri
Artist: Monoral
Year: 2006
Why I like this song:
Haven't seen much of Ergo Proxy but boy did it have a killer opening. It rocks hard and I swear that singer is a dead ringer for Iva Davies of Icehouse.
