In 2020 we are making a bigger deal out of how wet the nether regions are rather than the quaity of music being made. Granted the people doing this must have never heard of Lil Kim. This also gives me the chance to take break from the lists of androgynous guys and makes this one.The top 40 hottest female artists, might come one day I am bored at some point but right now we are just focusing on the music. After all if you are writing good songs that stick in my head I do not care what you look like. You are not going to see artists here that I feel are covered by those who do what they do better or are such originators in their genre why listen to imitators. Not only does this list give commonly under rated artists their proper place, but I dig into as expected from me both harder and darker artists not mentioned in the same breath as pop artists. Speaking of that is covered by a handful of ladies as more would be redundant. There is one big one here in particular that takes care of everything . Only one rapper, and they are unique , and this is about their impact on music as a whole so iconoclasts not strippers with prodiucers or entertainers alone. Since this the Abysmal Hymns list there will of course be a darker slant and singer's with any gospel leanings that are blasphemous are obviously disqualified. So here we go...
40-Dawn Crosby -Fear of God
She fronted a metal harder than those that came before her like Warlock or the Great Kat actually using harsh vocals before Arch Enemy was a thing. The pain she emoted was very real as Dawn took her own life.
39-Bleached
Poppy punk with out being pop punk. Their sound has evolved as they matured as song writers. Hopefully their next abum finds them getting at least the indie folowing they deserve.
38. St. Vincent
She can mimic the wack guitar sounds from Bowie's Scary Monsters album and bend them into her own unconvetional take on rock from mars.
37-Julie Christmas
From bands she has fronted to her collaborations with the ikes of Cult of Luna Christmas, continues to do her oewn thing and take hard rock in unconventional new directions.
36- Kayrn Crisis
Another distinct voice in metal. She edged out Dawn Crosby as she has gone to to more prolific body of work and expanded her range. From Crisis to the Gospel of Witches she marries the unsettling to the beautiful.
35- Ash Costello
A wonderful blend of a pop sense of melody and rock power. Not ony with her band but her gothy side project Haxans which might have sounded like a Katy Perry Halloween album but was catchy as hell.
34- Diamanda Galas
If I was going to sum up Galas in one sentence it would be ...the gospel of the goth Yoko Ono. There is no need for any other female bringer of weirdmess who cam after her.
33- Lydia Ainsworth
Here is an artist who will hopefully get here due one day. Her album "Darling of the Afterglow" was a masterpiece and she does more with indie pop sound than almost any one , along with a rich voice.
32-Yolandi Visser -Die Antwoord
Yolandi is the only rapper on here, though I was tempted to also include Snow tha Product, Yolandi beat her out because she has a more original style to her flow. With hip hop it's easy to conform to an expected sound and she gives that the middle finger.
31- Farida Lemochi -the Devils Blood
The whole vest metal scene sprang up for a minute a decade ago with female singers. Farida was head and shoulders above most in that scene with a voice that held power and sould.
