Gareth Liddiard’s 5 Favorite Female Vocalists

“They’re just better at it, I don’t know why,” he says. “I just think physiologically and attiudedly, they’re just better at it. Men are better drummers, usually, but women are way better singers. A great male singer like Frank Sinatra doesn’t come close to someone like Ella Fitzgerald; she would just smoke him any day of the week.”

Betty Davis – Game Is My Middle Name

Diamanda Galas – 25 Minutes To Go

Karen Dalton – Same Old Man

Edith Piaf – Heaven Have Mercy

Adalita – Jewel Thief
