no, they are not the least bit hip. and yes, they
made horrible records, and fashion decisions, in the
80s. but -- is there a greater three minutes of
women-in-rock than "barracuda"? a song that was all
about female empowerment, and anger towards a shitty
record company? ann's voice cuts diamonds, and nancy
can play circles around almost anyone.

they fit the date range for this list, and all their
stuff is in print. i'd probably go with "little
queen" from 1977, but "dog and butterfly" and "bebe le
strange," which followed, were classics, too.
