Chiming in a bit late so most bands have been added already but I'd like to add one more:

I think they're brilliant actually.

Not usually into that sort of thing at all, but am a real fan of their stuff.

If anyone hasn't heard them:

Concrete Blonde - Johnette Napolitano
All About Eve
Pretenders

Phil, thanks for adding those it saved me bothering

All about Eve was Julianne Regan (I'm still in love with her)

You all forgot about Janis Joplin (even though I did't like her voice)

I saw a band called Meldrum supporting BLS, the singer had some seriously nice tits and they did a good cover of walk.

What about The Runaways? Joan Jett, Lita Ford and a few more.

Transvision Vamp-remember them?

So no one mentioned Rockbitch? Hmmm.... 18+ only to google this bunch of ott performers who are banned from doing their full act here!!

One of my old bands supprted Rockbitch once years ago. Boy are they an awful band.

Has anyone heard the band Stolen Babies yet? Or how about Emilie Autumn? Both worth checking out 8)

Agreed, they are awful, interesting stage show though. I saw a docu' on a bbc freeveiw channel about them, the bass player could play ok though.

My band has a female singer, she's pretty good lot better than tonedeaf idiots that frequent the studios.
