Since Chuck brought it up, I had been thinking about
the issue of girl singers. On one hand, a lot of the
bands with female singers I suppose were def.
empowering, but at the same time is it important
enough to recommend a band which is basically some
boys adding that trendy girl singer for appeal...or
maybe it's all splitting hairs.
On the other side of the coin, it's probably not crucial for this particular list, but what about bands that were mostly male but included female instrumentalists? That was considerably more revolutionary in the late 70s...I'm figuring that Tina Weymouth, Gaye Advert, Pat Place and Adele Bertei in the Contortions, etc etc might have had just as much if not more influence on a lot of young women at the time as far as inspiring the thought, "I could do that!" The so-called "chick singer" was well-established, but women picking up instruments in LOUD bands that weren't folky or jazzy was the real sea change.
Just musing a bit here...carry on...
