I don't think that's actually Kim Deal. Besides, having seen them recently, she still has the talent, but wouldn't be necessarily considered "talent," if you know what I mean.

Eric, you took my favorites - Chan Marshall and Erika Wennerstrom. I might also add Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley), Beth Orton, Joanna Newsome, Tift Merritt, and Karen O. Kim Gordon was kind of cute back in the day. And I don't know if she counts, but Charlotte Gainsbourg makes ice cream melt.

Zooey Deschanel might be a consideration, but the first person that says Juliette Lewis gets a ballpunch.

Charlotte Kemp Muhl for the win. She's half of The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger. (The other half is Sean Lennon ...)

Still thinking ...

Matt took Nina Perrson from my list. I'll throw in Nina Gordon from Veruca Salt, Regina Spektor, and from back in the day, the chick from Missing Persons.

How 'bout Tanya Donnelly?

Have you seen Kim Deal recently?! She doesn't look like that anymore. If we are going for golden oldies I always liked Heather out of The Sundays. Oh and Juliana Hatfield is still quite tasty.
