AAAAAAAlooooooooneeee

Hey, Maya. I was 11 when the Spice Girls craze reached the US. I didn't know any better. I don't know that many girl bands, so I guess I'll have to go with the 789's (from "Kill Bill vol. 1) or any other Japanese all-girl groups.

Sleater-Kinney

the go gos by a country mile. when beauty and the beat came out i wanted to be a go go sooooo bad.

you mean the 5,6,7,8s?

The Go-Gos, they were the sound of my generation...

Okay, maybe not. But they're the only band on that list that I feel like voting for.

Yeah, L7 for me - remember when they raffled off their drummer to sleep with the winning fan? Andres, Shitlist, Pretend we're dead - awesome songs. The Breeders had a male drummer (the first version of the band in the 90s).

I voted for Bananarama because I used to like their song "Venus" when I was a young girl. Trivia: Did you know that the Japanese singer Yoko Nagayama sang a cover of Bananarama's "Venus" in 1986? Basically, it's a cover song of a cover song.

Deliah Derbyshire and her performing machines (which were PROBABLY all female)??????????

Otherwise I am a sexist twat as I really don;t have a fave.

Bananarama

Musically,none. But sexism aside,there are few nice girls in all of them.

UT

Although Delia and her machines is a good choice too.

Wrong. It's a cover of a cover of a cover. The original was by "Shocking Blue" in the 60's and it's on the latest edition of "The Trip" series of mix CD's (Tom Middleton on the mix I think). And it's been covered by loads of folk, remember the slightly dancey "Don Pablo's Animals" version in the early 90's? Your knowledge of pop trivia is as bad as your attempts to moderate topics on the JP forum.

What about TLC

and All Saints?

besides them, salt & peppa and mel& Kim would have been faves of mine

TLC - CrazySexyCool

As there's no Client on the list then Sugababes. Used to like The Belle Stars in my youth until the Shop Assistants arrived.

edit: I think the Shoppies had a male drummer though so doesn't count.

maya, horrible list.:dead: The Slits are high on my list.

that's a bit rich coming from someone who thinks heart are an all girl group! & (much as it pains me to do so) lg actually says it's a cover of a cover, so she knows banarama didn't do the original

Wham!

SA's star band... Not.

Sarah Brightman and the Starship Troopers caught my eye back along, er, musically speaking of course.

Of the current crop The Organ aren't too shabby either (probably never guess that from the name though)

Well, I'm Japanese, so I wouldn't know much about other artists. Cut out the hostility, will you? Basically, I wanted to say was that she covered it, but it's not her original song (it's a cover, you know). There's nobody here that knows everything there is to know.

PS: I e-mailed the actual moderator of the Japanese forum to delete your message replied to me criticising me for acting like a moderator. I know I'm not a moderator, but anybody on these forums knows that spam (Yes, your post about the whisky shop was spam) is not allowed. Please, can't we all just respect each other and cut out the hostility?

Thank you, Agent Wood for the correction. And thank you, Monty for emphasizing my choice. Basically, for an all-woman band, I prefer those from Japan, including the J-pop kinds. They are so much better than Spice Girls and all of them from the US. I will give them Sleater-Kinney a listen, though. I only heard "Girls and Guitars."

E.S.G. The Impossibles or The Inadequates

Haha, I was going to say them. Never heard a note of their music, but I'm partial to one member in particular...

can you name any other song by them?

The Raincoats..........or maybe The Slits.........or Scrawl.....or Frightwig.......or Kleenex, I dunno, they're all quite good. I quite like The Bangles first album, but nothing after that. Nice to see Shop Assistants and Fuzzbox get mentions.
