	If part-time lead singer Nancy Wilson is listed for Heart, Christine McVie should also be counted for Fleetwood Mac.

	Fun little quick quiz!

	One of those entertainment quizzes where I either knew the answer or had no chance. Might have gotten Chaka Khan if I thought about it longer. Thanks!

	this should be a 2 minute quiz, 7 minutes is not necessary

	jsftrey:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 16:47 GMT	10 points
	Yea Portishead!

	Lepi:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 16:47 GMT	15 points
	I'm no expert but shouldn't it also take Deborah Harry for Debbie Harry? Surely Debbie isn't her real name.

	RLthehammer:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 16:54 GMT	1 point
	I agree with the above notion

	Mutford:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 16:54 GMT	4 points
	@Lepi: In this case, you're right Deborah is her real name. However, plenty of Debbies were never Deborahs (my wife being one).

	Darn you Sporcle gods, I made the exact same game like eight months ago! (http://www.sporcle.com/create/test/f732d) Having front-page quizzes is like a drug, man. And I'm in a huge withdrawal right now.

	I found it to be an easy quiz, but the Stone Poneys and Portishead served as nasty little curve balls. And I liked it that you could type the first name of the Sugarcubes lead singer, because I don't think I could type the last name off the top of my head if you held a gun to my head.

	@Lepi and RLthehammer: As per virtually EVERY Sporcle quiz, surname ONLY required, so don't enter Debbie or Deborah, just enter Harry!

	THANK YOU for putting Cass Elliot and not Mama Cass, she hated that, and I loved her. It's a good mix, Stone Poneys wasn't a curve ball for me, it was a fast ball straight down the middle, it's when I first heard La Ronstadt. I vote for a sequel, there are plenty great women from which to choose, DOOD! :)

	Had a heck of a time spelling Chrissie Hynde! :-p

	Why was Karen O only a bonus?

	The_Snakes:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 18:45 GMT	3 points
	Susanna Hoffs wasn't really the lead singer of the Bangles, they were all given equal credit as singers.

	BamaRainbow:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 19:04 GMT	1 point
	I didn't try them but were Signe Toly Anderson and Jane Wiedlin accepted for Jefferson Airplane and the Go-Gos, respectively? Anderson preceded Grace Slick as female lead singer, appearing on the group's debut album while Wiedlin shared vocal duties on the group's first single, "Our Lips Are Sealed.

	superineficaz:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 19:18 GMT	15 points
	"Guðmundsdóttir" should be accepted for Sugarcubes. (Just kidding).

	BamaRainbow:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 19:28 GMT	1 point
	@JohnJF: McVie IS accepted for Fleetwood Mac (though only Stevie shows up as the "official" answer). Nicks was the more visual female lead (very easy to do when you're not limited to standing behind a keyboard as Christine was on most of the group's tours). It's rather interesting that, of the group's US Top 40 hits, Christine, Stevie and Lindsay largely shared the hits but Christine was actually the lead voice on nearly half the group's 18 chart singles.

	Really? Karen O as just a bonus and no Karen Carpenter whatsoever???

	JohnJF:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 20:05 GMT	3 points
	@BamaRainbow: McVie wasn't accepted when I made the comment.

	twojacks:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 20:27 GMT	1 point
	It took Michelle Phillips for Mamas and Papas!

	No Cranberries?

	starkittendanger:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 22:32 GMT	2 points
	Darn getting The Bangles confused with Bananarama! I was wondering why it wouldn't take Siobhan Fahey!

	gabi:	Feb 6th, 2010 at 23:21 GMT	2 points
	Paramore- Hayley Williams as a bonus?

	jcb9:	Feb 7th, 2010 at 00:04 GMT	-1 points
	Wow, I'm surprised so few people get Portishead. Dummy was one of the best albums of the 90s in my opinion.

	I'm surprised I got half, and I knew Maines but didn't know the first name.

	mybeaglebelle:	Feb 7th, 2010 at 00:38 GMT	2 points
	Darn, made this a little while ago... http://www.sporcle.com/games/mybeaglebelle/female_lead_singers_trymyothergames (sorry, not trying to get more plays, just proving myself...)

	B-52's? Sonic Youth?

	Keonyn:	Feb 7th, 2010 at 01:46 GMT	9 points
	Yes, we know that not every band with a female vocalist is on the quiz. It simply leaves room for a sequel and keeps the individual quiz size manageable.

	Gotta say it: "Chaka Khan let me rock ya, let me rock ya Chaka Khan/let me rock ya, that's all I wanna do..."
