But listen my friend here are the must have female fronted bands:

-Zolof the Rock and Roll Destroyer (motion city soundtrack with a female singer, poppy, but catchy)
-Tsunami Bomb (female punk band...TOP 5 FAVORITE BAND OF MINE)
-The Sounds (dancey, european rock band....Dorchester hotel is there best song)
-Be Your Own Pet or Jemina Pearl (solo project) (they're a fast, indie rock/punk band. raw sound, offers everything)
-TAT (female fronted punk band...very fast...they tour with rancid/social distortion and were on warped tour)

It depends on what kind of stuff you enjoy. If you like poppy stuff I'd agree with the Zolof and the Rock and Roll Destroyer recommendation. If you're straight up rock, maybe something like Flyleaf? I listen to more punk-influenced stuff so I'd recommend The Distillers.

Not exactly fully female fronted but The Decemberists.

Schoolyard Heroes!

www.myspace.com/schoolyardheroes

A couple years ago at Bumbershoot (Seattle's biggest festival) they got to take +44's mainstage slot because they cancelled. It wasn't very well announced. Chaos ensued :D

Another decent kind of old-school punk rock band is Civet. They're all hot, too, except the drummer

If you life female fronted bands, check out Brandi Carlile. She's an amazing singer/songwriter, her band is incredible live, and she has such a great stage presence. It's a bit off the cuff, but def. amazing. Check out her new video for "Dreams" on youtube right here - http://bit.ly/BrandiCarlile-Dreams

The Hush Sound is male/female fronted (as in two vocalists, not a hermaphrodite).
The Like is good, too.

I can't really think of any others that haven't been mentioned.
