Is 'Florence and the Machine' the best female lead band of the century?


Florence Belch

I fear the angelic goat-screaming songstress and her genius companionship have been destroying the other bands since their debut, in particular the "Female lead AND name of the band" ones. Is it true? :gayorkcat3:

Well yes

 

Though it's getting harder and harder to consider them a band since Isa/other founding members have less input with every album tbh

Well, no. That title belongs to Selena Gomez & The Scene

Paramore is the only real competition, although I do love The Pretty Reckless too, Florence eats them both up imo

Band?

 

I thought "and the machine" was just a quirky name addition like Marina and the Diamonds.

the guys were consistent on the first few albums at least, they had some writing credits too. i haven't paid close attention since HBHBHB but i imagine they would still be touring with her.

Florence + the Machine is basically the female Panic! At the Disco. But it also felt like "the machine" could just be in reference to whoever her collaborators were project to project.

Anyway, Evanescence, Paramore and The Pretty Reckless are the true trinity of actual female fronted bands from this century.

Spoiler

No disrespect to Florence! I love her. But she's a solo artist like Marina imo.

Paramore, Metric, and Nightwish come to mind for competition, but I do think Florence has them beat. The Interrupters are also great.
