Favorite Girl Lead Band?

[gloeek]

What's yours?

 

[Coolio]

I'm partial to Le Tigre. Honestly I don't even know the sex of lots of bands.

 

[Km013]

metric is pretty darn good.

 

[Pander Bear]

neko case

or maybe vivian girls

 

[AmorRoark]

+1 to Neko Case

I also like Cocteau Twins, Blonde Redhead, Portishead, Gossip and Le Tigre.

But yeah, I think Neko wins for me.

 

[stinkfoot]

stereolab.
heart.

 

[Coolio]

I also like Cocteau Twins, Blonde Redhead, Portishead, Gossip and Le Tigre.

Had no idea Portishead was female.

 

[AmorRoark]

I guess I might not understand the question. It says lead so I figured lead singer/ perhaps leader of the band (hard to know or sometimes impossible). Does the entire band need to be female? If so none of my bands fit.

 

[Max Power]

^ epic fail.

 

[AmorRoark]

You bought a new van the first year of your band.
You're cool and I hardly wanna say "not" because I'm so bored
that I'll be entertained even by a stupid, fucking linoleum floor, linoleum floor
Your lyrics are dumb like a linoleum floor
I'll walk on it
I'll walk all over you
Walk on it, walk on it, walk on, One, Two!

 

[BiscuitsNBongsGA]

Portishead is tha best lol.... like flyleaf and walls of jericho if im in the right mood.

 

[KevinKostner]

Hands down, "Live Through This" and "Celebrity Skin" are fucking awesomeness.

2nd place is Garbage.

[guerillabedlam]

No Doubt
Lacuna Coil
Portishead
Heart
Janis Joplin

 

[Pillthrill]

Hale Storm! I love that I finally found a rock band in my vocal range and they aren't a studio band. Not to mention just as hot as Amy Lee. I like her too.
