Oh no, now you've got me thinking about Marino The Band.  Dreadful cack.  At least those sisters in Gypsy Queen were cute.

And now I've remembered Madam X with Maxine and Roxy Petrucci (could they be related to... ? Nah.)

And The Great Kat.  :(

Nooooo.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Yeah - have memories of always running into Lisa D at the Marquee bar
Wasn't keen on her music though no matter how much Kerrang promoted it

Madam X did feature the 2 Petrucci  sisters - Roxy ended up in Vixen.
No relation to Dream Theatre though
Amazing how many Canadian bands are Female fronted.....
Madam X's original singer was Sebastian Bach!

A few names that I forgot:

Human Waste Project
The Go-Gos
Jucifer
The Moon Seven Times
Blonde Redhead
The Slits

(...and while we're strolling down the section of Memory Lane dedicated to the 80s:)

Smashed Gladys - my ex-wife had some LPs by this band and my goodness am I glad (no pun intended) that she got custody of them. :)

was going to mention, but everybody seems to hate the Noisettes.

I, on the other hand, have seen them three times. (two of them were accidental, promise!)

Yeah, I first saw them at the NEC with muse, then I saw them at the zodiac (RIP, now the carling academy oxford), then I found them in one of the tents at reading. They were particularly impressive in the small environment of the Zodiac, but everyone on the muse and reading fest forums was slagging them off- I quite like them live and on album.

I'm really amazed that no-one has mentioned Lacuna Coil - I think Cristina Scabbia is one of the best looking women in music.  Older bands that I have seen are:

Concrete Blonde - Johnette Napolitano
Fanny - the Millington sisters
Chicken Shack - the original lineup had Christine Perfect singing (before she married John McVie)
Renaissance - Annie Haslam has an amazing voice
All About Eve
Steeleye Span
Mamma Lion
Birtha
Pretenders
So many pickups, so little time
