[Flashy]

what are your choices? (non instrumental groups, do not count..like Spice Girls, En Vogue, Destiny's Child etc.)

me:


1. Bikini Kill
2. The Runaways
3. Go-Gos

EDIT: I had Hole at #1 but forgot about Eric Erlandson

The Donnas.

FWIW, I don't think Hole was ever an all girl band.

 

[B_electromn87]

The Donnas for sure.

Although not all girl, The Breeders and Veruca Salt were founded by females.

 

[MickeyLee]

The Living Jarboe.
Tara Vanflower.

umm Tribe 8. L7. Lunachicks. Miranda Sex Garden.

What about 7 Year Bitch?.....although, I think there were some guys in that band....

The Donnas for sure.

Does nobody else like Bikini Kill?

It took me awhile to get into them, but they made some really great music at their peak.

Ah, well. I think her first band, the Runaways was all female anyway. I still like her, damnit!

yup, the runaways were indeed all female. probably the best all female band around IMO, just slightly behind Bikini Kill.

Yes,I liked Bikini Kill.I enjoyed the whole 90's riot grrrl scene.I like Kathleen Hanna's next band Le Tigre too.
Phil Spector's problems shouldn't detract from the fact that he was responsible for some great female group records.From the same era The Shangri-La's are a favourite of mine.
The most recent female bands I've seen and enjoyed are Vivian Girls and Ipso Facto.

I tried to get in to Le Tigre, because of Kathleen Hanna, just didn't take for me, the same way Bikini Kill did.

Bikini Kill was more raw, and had a bit more heart behind it (IMO)
