Female Artists/Bands...


Recommended Posts

I was reading through the Halestorm thread and noticed that everyone's kind of split on digging female fronted bands/artists. I know that we've never sold any female artists (other than Robin Beck) in large quantities at Wishing Well. I can't even get some of my best friends listen to some new female fronted stuff just once! I'm just wondering what it is about female artists/bands that puts off some of you guys?

 

My favorite female artists/bands:

 

Heart

Lee Aaron

Saraya

Darby Mills/Headpins

Toronto

Patty Smyth

I think female fronted bands are the same as male bands, theres some good ones and some shit ones.

Sadly though, some people are still of the blinkered mindset that women cannot rock!

Itsnot that its a hard sale, I think there are just so many more male fronted bands, the pool gets tainted, I just posted about an awesome one, Skunk Anansie, I think if you have the right women a female vocalist can be better then a male, Damone is a totally fucking smokin new band, I loved Alyson Avenue,

 

Saraya

Harlow

Warlock

Gyspy Queen

Headpins

Fanny

Scandal

Witness

Vixen

I think its just a case that there has been far far fewer female fronted bands over the years. & then when you consider that only a % of them will be any good you are only left with a handful which really do the business. Some of my favs have been

 

Saraya

Heart

Sass Jordan

Witness

Harlow

Nightwish

Mostly Autumn

Skunk Anansie

Within Temptation

 

but like I say its bad when you are struggling to name more than 10 off the top of your head. Those mentioned above though are pretty killer IMO.

There are heaps of threads with female bands listed so I won't bother with that, but to answer the questions at the start of this thread.

 

I was one of the dudes in the Halestorm thread saying that I'm not generally a fan of female fronted rock. I too have asked myself why. Surely it's better to listen to a sexy female voice over a dood's voice? But for me it's not. For me, it's pretty simple. I like music I can relate to. I like to be in the moment of the song, and generally, with a female singing about a dude's hard penis entering her or she misses a dude's hard penis entering her (as they often do) I can't be there with her. It's pretty much as simple as that.

 

I have plenty of female fronted bands - every single good one mentioned in this thread - and do not avoid them. But if you ask me point blank, I plain and simply prefer male frotned bands every single time. Without question. :)

 

And it has nothing at all to do with a belief that "women can't rock".
