Some girls that haven't been mentioned.
PJ Harvey - great raw energy in an alternative format. Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies), seductive, if a little slow paced for "rock".
Sean - The Babys - Your giving away your age. An album I still like although it has currently gone missing from my shelves (misplaced I hope).
Michael Stipe has a perfect voice for what REM does.
Ian Astbury (The Cult).
