Favorite Girl Band.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

Mine: Go Go's

[swag]

1. the 5.6.7.8's

in their all-girl incarnations.

Close second would be the Runaways (though Kim Fowley really prevented them from being all-girl).

Then the Slits, I guess.

So many great ones.

[The Great Escape]

2. Bananarama

[autorank]

3. Violent Femmes or The Bangles (pick one)

oops!

right, girl band...

[enigmatic]

4. The Shaggs

There is no other.

[benburch]

5. The Runaways!

[FreedomAngel82]

6. The Donnas

[saltpoint]

7. Indigo Girls for the music, Dixie Chicks for the politics.

And for a Sunday afternoon concert, Sweet Honey in the Rock.

10. Shit, how could I forget Le Tigre

[madrchsod]

16. ya they are pretty good

[Droopy]

9. I'm sitting here trying to think of all girl bands

and there really aren't a whole lot of them that I can think of. But I'll go with the Supremes. I think there were more girl bands back in the day. We need more women in rock-n-roll.

15. The Slits

[enigmatic]

17. Damn, somebody remembers The Slits??

23. I studied them in my Anthropology course.

well, it was more based around Greil Marcus' book "Lipstick Traces" about the Sex Pistols and how they descend from a long line of rebellion across history. it's actually more exciting than it sounds.

the slits were on the bbc telling the guy who was interviewing them/hitting on them to fuck off or something (i'll never forget that)

[Omphaloskepsis]

18. Sleater-Kinney

Male band with a female singer: Pretty Girls Make Graves

[Jean Louise Finch]

25. Ding ding dingading on Sleater-Kinney

though they may just be the best band period.

[benny05]

19. Heart n/t

[Richard Steele]

20. The BUTCHIES. Best...female rock trio...EVER.

They just played their last show 2 weeks ago, after 7 years together.
Its the end of an ERA here in the Triangle. (sobs quietly)

21. The Bangles are number two in my book. "Hazy Shade of Winter"

grew on me.

[Kire]

22. Sleater-Kinney, The Donnas, Luscious Jackson, T.A.T.u.

[Kire]

24. have you ever heard of the sounds?

It's a girl singer with boys backing her, but she is definitely the dominant one.

[Seabiscuit]

26. 1. The Bangles; 2. The Dixie Chicks

[dbt]

27. The Bangles: hands down, heels up!

For harmony singing, they kick the Beach Boys back to the garage on the best day they ever had. Vicki, Debbi and Michael are world class on guitar, drums and bass. Their version of "Hazy Shade of Winter" CUTS Simon and Garfunkel's. (Oh, the heresy!) And, um, none of them are too hard to look at!

:loveya:

(Yeah, I left out Susanna, but volumes have already been written about her!)

28. The Go-Go's

[Beware the Beast Man]
