I am also a big Tori fan, so maybe some of these artisits would appeal to you also:

Fiona Apple's second album When the Pawn...
Garbage (Shirley ROCKS)
Letters To Cleo
Leona Naess
Res
Poe (the album Haunted)

Martina Topley-Bird, Princess Superstar, Roisin, ..

 

[foray]

oh yeah, there's also Stina Nordenstam

 

[Angela Harlem]

to all who mentioned Heather Nova.
Class!

Did Max Sharam make a name for herself overseas? Coma might be right up your alley but you prolly already know it. She is class. She is what you're asking in a non man eating Alanis kind of way.

I don't really like that any female singers but Joan Osbourne is great! Her album, Relish, is one of my favourite albums ever

Aimee Mann's cool too and I love Texas

 

[hiphop]

Q-Tee, she was on Saint Etienne, Filthy. I wonder what she?s up to.

Marla Glen. Neneh Cherry. Whitney Houston.

Cat. Nina Simone. Nina Hagen.

 

[Flying FuManchu]

I've fallen in love with Liz Phair...

I don't like female singers that much either.
But I'd recommend Tori Amos and Poe.
