I still enjoy listening to the Go-Go's.

[ghostsofgiants]

1. Le Tigre

[PittPoliSci]

32. second!

[emulatorloo]

2. Menudo

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x3660267

[assclown_bush]

55. Menudo had no females in it. You may be confusing them? n/t

[Theres-a]

3. Indigo Girls

[Democracy White]

4. Spice Girls...

Please don't laugh but I think their third (and last) album was pretty cool...


Dee

[blondeatlast]

46. I'm glad to hear that. Not my favorites, but yeah, I do enjoy

their music.

I thought I'd never say it publicly!

[wallwriter]

5. Bangles, but only "All Over the Place..."

[6000eliot]

43. Great album!

Whar happened to them after that?

[driver8]

82. I love the Bangles, and they are awesome live!! Man, can they sing!

I saw them a couple of months ago, however, and they are really missing Michael Steele's back up vocals. Their harmonies were still good, but Michael Steele added so much that it was obvious that something was missing.

Susanna Hoffs is so damn cute and Vicki Peterson can play that guitar!!

[Enraged_Ape]

6. Go-Gos own

And they still sound good.

[bicentennial_baby]

7. Bikini Kill

Kathleen Hanna is my hero, for real.

[WCGreen]

8. Coldplay......

Oh, you mean band made up of girls,,,,,,

[sundog]

15. .

:spray:

[Mojambo]

18. LOL. Good one.

I can't stand Coldplay.

[assclown_bush]

58. Did emasculating Coldplay make YOU feel any better?

Just curious.

[WCGreen]

67. My aren't we huffy.....

Coldplay is, as a young friend of mine put it, a band for 30 something housewifes who think they are still hip...

Now I think there tunes are catchy.... Good pop music

But I was making reference to the appeal to the chicks, as related by my young friend....

I thought it would be funny

[assclown_bush]

71. How very DROLL you are.

So including them in a list of "GIRL BAND" groups is funny? W/E

[WCGreen]

73. A lot of other folks thought so...

Here and out in the temperal world

There just a pop band......

[assclown_bush]

75. Sorry I didn't mean to fly off the handle.

I apologize. I didn't mean to flame you...I just get a little touchy some times.

[driver8]

83. I thought it was hilarious! Well done!

It's just music...nothing to get upset about. I'm surprised someone didn't write "U2"...

[Scooter24]

9. The Butchies...

and their hit single... "Are we not femme?" :P

http://www.thebutchies.com/

[bicentennial_baby]

10. Yay for The Butchies!!

:bounce:

[dajoki]

11. bangles

favofite band with one girl: the eurythmics:woohoo:

[On the Road]

12. Does Heart Count?

They had two girls.

[bliss_eternal]

79. Hell Yeah! Two ROCKIN' girls!

Go, Nancy! She still rocks! No better voice in the business than Ann.

[TreasonousBastard]

81. Heart damn well better count!

[chaska]

13. Fanny was actually pretty good. (now w/ link)

Well, I'll b' damned.

http://www.aurealm.com/fanny.htm

[CanuckAmok]

14. The Carrie Nations!

[WI_DEM]

16. oops

I'm tired and thought the ? was "favorite Bond girl!!" LOL

[Mojambo]

17. Dance Hall Crashers

Okay, so they have girls and boys, but the identity of the group is surely more girl with the two female leads.

[peekaloo]

19. The Shaggs

[SmokingJacket]

44. Now that's funny.

The only band whose dad made them practice.

[Tikki]

20. The Runaways......n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

21. I'll say the Go-Go's too.

But I know they weren't a "band" but my all time favorite girl GROUP is of course:

THE SUPREMES !!

[chaska]

22. No doubt about it.

Supremes all the way ..., especially Mary. Yummy.

[ronnykmarshall]

37. Me and Mary and the gang.

Mary Wilson is the most friendly and wonderful woman I've met.

I adore her.

[arwalden]

23. Softball Question For Ya...

Who was the most talented Supreme?

[ronnykmarshall]

36. Florence Ballard

There were so many better singers than La Ross. Jean Terelle, Scherrie Payne, Susaye Greene. Mary has really grown as a singer however.

Miss Thang kept the girls in background because people would hear that she wasn't the best singer.

[assclown_bush]

24. L7. Those girls ROCK!!!

Hungry for Stink is one of the best albums of the 90's. :headbang:

[Joe Power]

38. Best choice there is!

Although, the Runaways is a good choice, too.

[assclown_bush]

47. PATTI SMITH!!!!!!!

I know the rest of the Patti Smith Group is male...but Patti Smith is one of the greatest female rockers ever to have graced the earth. Her albums, Easter, Radio Ethiopia, Horses, Wave and others are just classic rock masterpieces. I love this woman.

Babelogue

I haven't fucked much with the past, but I've fucked plenty with the future. Over the skin of silk are scars from the splinters of stations and walls I've caressed. A stage is like each bolt of wood, like a log of Helen, is my pleasure. I would measure the success of a night by the way by the way by the amount of piss and seed I could exude over the columns that nestled the P.A. Some nights I'd surprise everybody by skipping off with a skirt of green net sewed over with flat metallic circles which dazzled and flashed. The lights were violet and white. I had an ornamental veil, but I couldn't bear to use it. When my hair was cropped, I craved covering, but now my hair itself is a veil, and the scalp inside is a scalp of a crazy and sleepy Comanche lies beneath this netting of the skin. I wake up. I am lying peacefully I am lying peacefully and my knees are open to the sun. I desire him, and he is absolutely ready to seize me. In heart I am a Moslem; in heart I am an American; in heart I am Moslem, in heart I'm an American artist, and I have no guilt. I seek pleasure. I seek the nerves under your skin. The narrow archway; the layers; the scroll of ancient lettuce. We worship the flaw, the belly, the belly, the mole on the belly of an exquisite whore. He spared the child and spoiled the rod. I have not sold myself to God.

[tigereye]

52. I love L-7

not sure I can pick one favorite.

Probably the Go-Gos.

[assclown_bush]

54. The Go-Gos were great too but when L7 sings "Shirley"

It just sends me to outer space...those women just know how to ROCK!!!

"What's a beautiful girl like you doing racing in a place like this?

Winning."

[tigereye]

59. as far as harder stuff goes

I would have to say L-7. Shove is a good example. But there are some Donnas songs that are pretty rowdy, too.

[assclown_bush]

63. OHH, I'm searching through piles of CD's just tripping out....

on GREAT GIRL GROUP ROCK!!! I LOVE IT!!! I'm gonna start playing some Go-Go's next.
Each and every song on these albums is like an old friend whos stopped by to say "hello".

[tigereye]

76. there is a lot more than you think!

once you look! Have fun. :hi:

[assclown_bush]

77. OHH I know...and searching is part of the fun...

Nice to meet you tigereye. :hi:

[tigereye]

78. same here

about time for me to hit the hay! :hi:

I love female bands...

[flamingyouth]

25. Shangri-Las, Sahara Hotnights, Bratmobile, Go-Go's

Also, I have all of those Girls in the Garage comps of '60s girl garage bands. Some, like "Nightmare" are just awesome. :D

[assclown_bush]

26. Shonen Knife: The best girl band to come out of Osaka.

Their albums are pure delight. Fun, witty and always a pleasure to listen to...and to dance around to. Plus they have a new album that was released in Japan in June it's uber-awesome. I love these rockers.

http://www.shonenknife.com/mainpage.html

[Cush]

31. I have a couple of their albums

"Let's Knife" & "Rock Animals"

[assclown_bush]

45. I love "Cycling is Fun", I'm listening to it as I type...

And love "Tortoise Brand Pot Scrubbing Cleaners (theme)" and "Fruits and Vegetables" from their Best of Album. Love Love Love this group.

SHONEN KNIFE

[WCGreen]

70. I love their Top of the World....

Not to hip on all these bands but I did buy the Carpenters tribute..... That was cool....

[terrya]

27. Go-go's and Bananarama

Yes, Bananarama. Seriously.

[AngryAmish]

28. Sleater-Kinney

[bicentennial_baby]

29. I adore Sleater Kinney

Those ladies rule! :bounce:

[giant_robot]

69. I just saw Sleater-Kinney on some late night show

They ROCKED.

[greendog]

30. Varttina

[PittPoliSci]

33. Le Tigre

[tigereye]

53. but, but

what about the guy? ;)

:hi:

[PittPoliSci]

86. i'd watch who you say that to

:-)

[tigereye]

92. wise guy

:spank:

no, there was a guy who played drums. At least on the recent album. You of all people should know I would never make a female facial hair joke!

Didn't know you were a Kathleen fan. Not entirely surprised, though. Interesting. Also I was a riot girl of sorts before it was FASHIONABLE. ;)

[PittPoliSci]

93. i love kathleen.

the latest album...all girls so you know :-)

[tigereye]

95. I must be thinking of the last one? Forget the title.

that's the one I have. I liked it. And actually, they are women! (couldn't resist)

You probably want to avoid getting into a gender word pissing match with me. ;) Although the results might be amusing. j/k

[PittPoliSci]

34. I changed my mind... Nikki and the Corvettes

[Shredr]

35. Destiny's Child

Just saw them at the ESPYs. They were amazing.

[kwassa]

39. The Supremes, of course. You can't hurry love, you just have to wait.

[kwassa]

40. The Andrews Sisters, with the boogie woogie bugle boy of Company G

[kwassa]

41. Martha Reeves and the Vandellas, dancing in the streets.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

42. Tegan and Sara nt

[ghostsofgiants]

94. Good call!

[blondeatlast]

48. Love them; I saw thenm with X once before IRS signed them.

IRS did a very nice job of gussieing them up, I must say!

[Magrittes Pipe]

49. The Pleasure Seekers

[mvd]

50. Very close, but I'd say The Bangles

The Indigo Girls are a duo, so I ruled them out.

[Algorem]

51. WHAM!!?

The New York Dolls?Judas Priest?

[assclown_bush]

61. WHAM was not a girl group.

The New York Dolls were in fact not females either they were a glam rock group. Judas Priest is a heavy metal band though I am not sure if there are any female members of the band.

[kwassa]

87. That's a matter of opinion.

[KeepItReal]

56. Vanity 6! But I'll settle for Apollonia 6...

[assclown_bush]

64. Did Vanity 6 play with Prince?????

[New Earth]

57. not a band but

Fiona Apple is my favorite female musician :loveya:

[assclown_bush]

66. Love Love Love Fiona Apple!!!!!!!!

She is so friggin great!!!!!!!

[enigmatic]

60. The Shaggs

There is no other.

[driver8]

84. Man, I remember playing that exact album as a college dj...

the phone would ring off the hook everytime!!

Classic...

[Kat45]

62. Girlschool

British metal band. Saw them play back in the eighties; they rocked!

[solinvictus]

65. Me too...

I love the Go Gos.

[indigo32]

68. Sleater Kinney

absolutely

[Ellen Forradalom]

72. The Raincoats!

Kurt Cobain did one good thing in his life: he persuaded David Geffen to reissue the Raincoats' albums.

Their first single, "Fairytale in the Supermarket," is just phenomenal.

[liberaltrucker]

74. Showing my age here

Heart. Whenever I hear the Wilson sisters sing "Crazy on You" I get goosebumps.

[driver8]

85. I am with you on that one. The Wilson sisters definitely kick some

rock n roll ass! Ann's voice and Nancy's guitar playing -- unbelievable!

[bliss_eternal]

80. Girl group En Vogue--will always be my fave...(girl band below)

The first incarnation, with the original group of girls. They had such a lovely sound together.

Girl BAND I have a few, one of which would have to be The Donnas'. I am also fond of Sahara Hotnights, and the Runaways even though they all hated each other. LOL!

[Redneck Socialist]

88. Currently it is "Uncle Earl"

Uncle Earl

On a more rocking note, I like the Donnas
http://www.rocknet.tv/biografie/Donnas%20-%20biografia,%20discografia,%20recensioni,%20articoli_file/the_donnas.jpg

[Beware the Beast Man]

89. Definitely L7.

They rocked a lot harder than most "guy bands"...and then there's the Reading Festival "tampon incident". :scared:

[cheeseit]

90. Throwing Muses

Kind of a cheat as they always had at least one male member, but I tend to think of them as a "girl band" as both singer/songwriter/guitarists were female.

[driver8]

96. Throwing Muses....Mmmmm...Tanya Donelly...This band had one

of the best drummers around. I cannot think of his name offhand, but man could this guy play. This was in addition to the lovely Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donelly.

[cheeseit]

97. Yeah, David Narcizo-

fantastic drummer and very idiosyncratic. Plus on the last couple of albums they had Bernard Georges on bass- the two added up to about as good a rhythm section as there was at that time, imo.

[mac56]

91. C'mon, how can you forget
