Mamas and the Papas (Cass Elliott) Janis Joplin Linda Ronstadt (her early stuff) Scandal (Patty Smyth) Diana Ross and the Supremes Fiona Apple
Not really a femail <i>band</i> per se, but I really liked The Sundays . Harriot had/has an awesome voice. Unfortunatly they haven't done anything in a while.
Definitley Sleater-Kinney... saw them with Pearl Jam then went out and bought all their albums... Great Band...
Garbage No doubt Heart Breeders Veruca Salt Four non blondes Sisters Morales Sara Hickman Toni Price Concrete Blond Hole Alison Krauss I always had a soft spot for the Go Go's and the Bangles too Actually....I really like female vocalists.....to the point where I probably give a band extra credit just for having a female at the wheel.
Good to see Ani Difranco get some representation. I don't think she gets enough run. I only like her because she gets the goods with her following of girls.
They aren't all "bands", but they are all awesome: <a href="http://www.blackboxrebellion.com">Patrice Pike and the Blackbox Rebellion</a> <a href="http://www.devonmusic.com">Devon</a> Natalie Merchant Heather Nova Rosie Thomas Patty Griffin Norah Jones
I can't believe that TheFreak hasn't posted in this thread and that Rockets2K overlooked Vixen - the best heavy metal all girl band of all-time! Not really bands but my choices are as follows: Sarah McLachlan Liz Phair The Sundays Beth Orton Heart Pat Benatar Sheryl Crow Bjork Hole Kate Bush Joni Mitchell And even though I don't have any albums by them, I will also include the Cranberries.
It took 25+ posts to get Sheryl Crow No one mentioned Melissa Etheridge Janis Joplin is a good call as was Four Non Blondes.
I feel pretty remiss about that. I've only had the hots for her for a couple of decades. I'm also fairly fond of Jewel.....regardless of how 'pop' she's turning.
Glad to see S-K pop up early in this thread... as a bass player, I have an immense amount of respect for the band... anyone who can write so many great songs and not even need a bass to do it... wow. Listening to Carrie's cool guitar lines made me go out and buy a Ric. Such a cool band...
I lost a lot respect for her when I found out that she writes all of Pinks "songs". Pink is horrible. No love for Missing Persons?!?!? All the guys in her band are Zappa veterans, including her brother Terry Bozzio on drums.
I hear they're supposed to be awesome, but I haven't heard any of their stuff. What album of theirs should I get?
Couldn't tell ya, haven't heard any of their stuff yet. I've heard and read about them and they sound interesting, that's why I'm asking.
Patti Smith is the queen mother The rest in no particular order: Siouxie and the Banshee's X (Exene Cervenka) The Runaways Joni Mitchell Kate Bush Lene Lovich Nina Hagen Romeo Void Cyndi Lauper Courtney Love
I wouldnt call them heavy metal...but yea, I guess I should have included them.. and I also forgot one of the true Heavy metal mistresses of all time... Doro Pesch of Warlock and imadrummer has a good point with Missing Persons.. who could ever forget Dale's plexiglas tops? and Terry Bozio was in fact a pretty damn good drummer
