Best female group

[abcdefz]

...best to date:

[abcdefz]

Oops. Forgot The Supremes.

[TAL]

And you really like The Slits.

[mickill]

Whattabout The Donnas? I like The Go-Gos. Who voted for them?

I would have to give it to The Supremes, though.

[abcdefz]

Sorry. Typist's elbow.

*rubs elbow convincingly*

[abcdefz]

Disclaimer:

I shouldn't have even made this poll. Clearly, I was struggling, which kinda sucks.

I mean, why the fuck is Pink Lady on there? They were awful. And I've never even heard The Raincoats, for instance, so how would I know?

I'm an idiot full of self-loathing. Mods, please close this miserable excuse for a thread. Thanks.

[mickill]

You're too hard on yourself, man.




I think I like the idea of The Runaways more than their music itself.

Oh, and Heart. I prefer the reincarnated overblown power pop stuff to the older Zeppelin influenced stuff, though.

The Raincoats do an interesting cover of The Kinks' Lola which is strangely catchy.

[roosta]

I do believe you are missing the chief exponents of Girl Power themselves, the force of nature known as the Spice Girls.

Clo's going to cry, you know.

[abcdefz]

Oh, and Heart. I prefer the reincarnated overblown power pop stuff to the older Zeppelin influenced stuff, though.




...I think Heart was 3/5ths male, wasn't it?

[abcdefz]

...weren't Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris "Trio" or something like that?

Not the "I Don't Love You You Don't Love Me Aha Aha Aha" Trio, but the other one.

[abcdefz]

Crap! I forgot the Bee Gees, too.

[abcdefz]

Banana-fucking-rama.


Shoot!

Yeah. Bananarama. I love their first album, with the Warhol cover.

[TAL]

I like The Go-Gos. Who voted for them?
Me.

[mickill]

...I think Heart was 3/5ths male, wasn't it?
At it's inception, yes. But for Heart Mach II, it was pretty much just Ann, Nancy aaaaaand thenameless/facelesspeoplethatyouhearinthebackground.

[ms.peachy]

L7

[mickill]

Me.
You got the beat, Tal.

[mickill]

Oh and Sleater Kinney.

[kleptomaniac]

destiny's child :cool: (y)

[paulb]

Others(please name) have some good singles. Not too shabby.

[abcdefz]

"Who am I? -- just one of the fuzzy guys in the background!"

[nypb]

Lucious Jackson? They should reunite.

[jackrock]

hmmhmmmmmm... the supremes (y)

[TAL]

[Documad]

Oh and Sleater Kinney.

The Supremes changed my life.

The Shangri-Las didn't change my life, but they deserve a mention with the Ronnettes and Crystals. They had more depth than just Leader of the Pack and Remember Walking in the Sand.

[Parkey]

Atomic Kitten...

Talk more about this. I never really investigated the Shangri-Las, though I dug Walking in the Sand immensely.

[minorthreat]

i'd say the donnas coz they are fiiiiine

[Funky Pepp]

What about some Riot Grrrls:

Bikini Kill
Team Dresch
Sleater Kinney (they've been mentioned before)
Longstocking (all right, not all-grrrl)
That Dog (s.a.)
Rythm King and her Friends

and...
Miyax (that's my ex-band :) - not all grrrl,too sorry)

[WhoMoi?]

Don't forget The Bangles.
I agree with Salt 'n' Pepa and Luscious Jackson too.

If Heart counts as a female group, then I'd probably vote for them.

[BangkokB]

Rasputina

[alexandra]

1; The Marvelettes (thanks to Gladys Horton's deep and powerful voice)
