  Kindof a dark horse pick, but I think Amy Lee from Evanescence has amazing chops, love her voice.

  Definitely one of my favorites, along with Stevie Nicks. Luckily I have been able to see just about all the names mentioned here live.

  She's very good. Too new to be GOAT, though.

  I didn't really see any of them in their "prime" other than Amy Lee. I love Amy Lee's voice probably moreso than any of the others.
  
  But I'm a HUGE Heart and Fleetwood Mac fan, but I saw each of them within the last 3 years.
  
  I've been spoiled where I've been able to see a lot of concerts and have really good seats at most. But for the Fleetwood Mac and Heart concerts I had crappy seats so that takes away from the show.
  
  I had good seats for the Pretenders, so as far as a show, that was probably my favorite, but it's based moreso on my seating than anything else.
  
  (I've been in the front 5 rows for AC/DC and U2, and U2 is by far the best show I've ever seen.)

  You have to get through the epic intro prior to the vocals.
• CenterBHSFan

  

  Surpised that nobody has mentioned Pat Benetar yet.
  
  I'd also like to throw in Mariah Carey, Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood and Christina Aquilera.
• ptown_trojans_1

  

  Some other names that deserve mention, if not praise:
  Aretha Franklin
  Bessie Smith
  Etta James
  Tina Turner
  Diana Ross
• Society

  Joss Stone
