    Blondie, as many have already said. Eat to the Beat is such an underrated album.

    And yes, 90s Hole.

    Massive Attack doesn't have a female lead. They have various guest female vocalists on some of their songs, but the core members of the group are Grant Marshall (Daddy G) and Robert Del Naja (3D).

    Also, I'm a huge Sneaker Pimps fan and Becoming X is the only album they released with a female vocalist, and it is by far their worst. You should check out the albums Splinter and Bloodsport. 2 of my favorite albums ever!

    i liked garbage better the first time i heard them...when they were called curve!

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/00rv4Kz3NKA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/00rv4Kz3NKA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    ive never seen a band so directly rip off another band and get more famouser than the band they ripped off.

    butch vig had been begging to produce curve, but they had their own guy so he grabbed a sexy singer from the u.k. w/ biting lyrics and started his own band.
    toni halliday - curve

    shirley manson - garbage

    Nice. I didn't think anyone would know or remember Velocity Girl around here.

    I was always surprised how many people would approach me and say something about them whenever I wore their shirt.

    From the primordial soup
    Out of the dim and the gloom we came
    Now Ronny's watching you
    Showing you the light and setting you free

    He's gonna let you out of your cage
    He is animal, primitive
    He's gonna show you he ain't got no game plan
    But like a sparrow making food for her kids

    He's gonna eat you up and spit you out a better man
    So don't fight it
    We are animal
    Animal one in all

    Where's the Rilo Kiley love? Jenny Lewis is not only hot, but she played the girl in The Wizard... which was the best 2 hour Nintendo commercial I've ever seen.

    It used to be:
    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_4leuLBxvJw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_4leuLBxvJw&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    And also:
    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/oDaW7-Z52F8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/oDaW7-Z52F8&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    But now there aren't many. :(

    Right now, probably "Los Chicos de Barrio", and "La Sonora Tropicana" and "La Sonora Dinamita" are rocking good joints.

    <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4AEC1vtOlcY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4AEC1vtOlcY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

    <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FUmmGr-EjaE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FUmmGr-EjaE&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

    Also, there aren't many good "ROCK EN ESPAƱOL" female singers... :( Since Ana Torroja and Mecano went out a long time ago... and their return wasn't good.
