View Full Version : Best female band
You have read correctly: tell me what the best female band is. I assume not many exist, but my assumption is ill-founded.

Can't think of many all female or mostly female bands. I think a 'band' must mostly be a guy thing.

Oh come on think a little
The best has to be Joan Jett and the Runaways
The Runaways - Wasted 1977 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQYWqYpoLPU)
The Runaways - Cherry Bomb (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMDn6V7ZLhE)
Notice Lita Ford on lead guitar at 16. On bass Micki Steele , later the bass player for the Bangles another great female band.
I mean who could ever forget
Bangles - Walk Like an Egyptian (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeBZDlnj9zo)
A timeless classic video. And talk about hot lead singers.
A great cover of
The Bangles Hazy shade of winter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyM61ja9YSw)
How about Bananrama?

There are quite a few girl bands in Finland, but well, meh. Things like Nylon Beat, PMMP, Indica and Ultra Bra. Mostly pop or pop-rock. Nothing disturbingly Britney Spears, thank God.

So is ABBA lol. In that case you could count Heart. But thats not the case. Throw in Fleetwood Mac then as well.

The Dixie Chicks
Have you been possessed by SFTS :help:
But that reminds me of an incredible girl band. In fact the best Ive seen in years.
The heck with Dixie Chicks how about Celtic Women instead?
Celtic Woman - A New Journey - Mo Ghile Mear (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6b9xzS_rDo)
You probably know this one from Josh Groban
Celtic Woman - You Raise Me Up (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofYrt9ymTRo)
No they dont play all the instruments but they do play some instruments somewhere during the show. And so easy on the eyes.
Celtic Woman - the Voice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfO6JpR5Ip8)
She sure is. And those celtic drums.
Damn now Im gonna be up another hour or two watching all the videos of these incredible women. Makes me proud to have some Irish blood in me.
Gah one more
Celtic Woman - A New Journey - Spanish Lady (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHOyPLSVam4)
I've always had a soft spot for L7 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGAD8JY4tuM).
Luscious Jackson (http://www.gotuitmusic.com/index.php?c=Videos&p=85624&s=1500182) had some great tracks.
But all-time best female band? Cibo Matto, no contest, at least for the lemur. How can anyone ever top a band that screams "Extra salt! Extra oil! Extra sugar! MSG!" Some of their better (meaning weirder) songs:
Beef Jerky (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWpyMRQ1eqE)
Know Your Chicken (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFpvaxN25gs)
Sugar Water (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq7N5sQN-hI)

Dixie chicks are HORRID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111 Nashville prepackged crap.
Ta TU
Ta TU
So instead of Nashville pre-packaged junk, you prefer Muscovite pre-packaged lesbian schoolgirl pop (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muJaDZA-_Bk)?
I can't say I disagree with you. But I still like Cibo Matto better.

Are you saying you dont like lesbian school girls? They dont call this the kingdom of peace and love for nothing Lemur. If you cant be tolerant of others lifestyles and choices you can leave. :no:
It broke my heart when they dropped the schoolgirl part of the act (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePJCgvtUJCI). I mean, Muscovite faux-lesbian schoolgirl europop I can get down with. But Muscovite faux-lesbian europop sans schoolgirl outfits? no way. I cannot cross that line.

Now your playing the sympathy card :laugh4: Thats ok I forgive you. But get them outta there. :laugh4:
Meh, honestly there are the only ones I know of lol :shame: . The Supremes?
T.A.T.U. maybe.
About the only casting band I ever liked are the No Angels, they made songs like:
Daylight In Your Eyes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp7H_-je0MY)
Feel Good Lies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MbYFUasUKV0)
Not great, but not bad either.
