The other day I had a conversation with some friends about all-girl bands. After much discussion and debate we could think of only a few great all-girl bands and a few really bad all-girl bands. Why is the all-girl band so uncommon? There are a ton of amazing female artists. Here's the list of the good, the bad, and the ugly...
GOOD
Floetry
The Supremes
Le Tigre
Sleater-Kinney
Indigo Girls
The Runaways (Joan Jett..."Cherry Bomb" anyone?)
Salt-N-Pepa
Hole
Obviously Aretha, Janis, Chrissie, Bonnie Raitt, Brodie of the Distillers, Patti Smith, Liz Phair (early stuff), Mazzy Star, that girl who sings "Sweet Jane" for the cowboy junkies, Kim Deal, Alanis, various other amazing female artists, but where are the all-girl bands?
BAD
The Donnas (Meh...I DO enjoy them.)
Spice Girls
The Pussycat Dolls
TLC
Destiny's Child
Obviously Lindsay, Hillary, Gwen Stefani (solo), Britany Spears, Madonna (pisses me off), Dixie Chicks, Macy Gray, Avril, etc.
Any of your own additions? Leave me a comment!
