people have already mentioned bikini kill which is an awesome band and kim deal is also awesome, spiderbait is pretty good, and i also love elastica,another one of my favorties is the horrorpops
PJ Harvey, Ani diFranco and Björk are my favourites. I'm just listening to Björk's Medulla and it's just such a beautiful album.
ani difranco is good! i have seen here in the melkweg (amsterdam) and she was full of energy and totally crazy. so cool!
http://www.midnightcreeps.com/page2.html The singer in The Midnight Creeps has a good and strong delivery
http://www.blackmoresnight.com/ Speaking of beautiful music, there is Candice Night of Blackmore's Night. More classical than Rock and Roll.
You're refering to Midnight Creeps I presume? Her style, I think, is kind of similar to Jim Dandy Mangrum of Black Oak Arkansas whom also has a powerful, gritty delivery. And I was wondering if Wendy O. will be mentioned. I was blown away by The Plasmatics without attending a live show. (thanks to City TV's The New Music)
BIKINI KILL, L7, babes in toyland, vice squad, devotchkas, mindless self indulence (has some girls), crass, f-mines
finally someone mentions edie brickell! i LOVE her. and i can't really think of any that haven't been mentioned. Bjork, Natalie Merchant, Ani D, Kim Deal and PJ Harvey are all worth mentioning again though Cat Power is also worth a mention unless someone already did. oh and Hope Sandoval of Mazzy Star.......
Joan Jett and Lita Ford's original band The Runaways And there's also Girlschool http://www.girlschool.co.uk/
I heard Otep on Chronix Aggression internet music station, they were playing Sacrilege and I was thinking it was a guy doing the deep growling vocals, but I checked out one of the live videos and was like whoa!( for a lack of a better word at the time). I already like her vocals before but I think I fell in love with her at that moment. I've heard kittie before but Otep just sounds so damn good!!
pat benatar..........allannah myles........pauline henry........bonnie tyler........patti smith........
Wow.... how can you say Sheryl Crow with a straight face... when she ruined one of the best songs of all time... Sweet Child O' Mine.... if theres a cover that is #1 in the worst covers of all time..... it would be that one
