Who Was THE Female Voice of the ‘90s?

Nostalgia warning! This list is going to bring up a few memories (of school dances, car sing-alongs, and breakups). When it comes to the “good ol’ days,” there’s nothing like the 1990s – the decade of boy bands, Walkmans, and baggy jeans. But forget all that fun stuff for a moment. Let’s focus on the ladies of the ‘90s, particularly the singers.

These are the gals we sang along to, whether we liked the song or not. These women rocked their way into the ‘90s and either stuck around (like Gwen Stefani) or went AWOL (like Bjork). Now, if you don’t mind, we’re going to get right into it.

(Any and all hate comments can be directed to our complaints department. Just kidding.)
