gotta be at least dominated by the female influence if not 100% girl...

So, the Breeders, 4 Non Blondes, Fetchin' Bones, etc. would qualify...

    add Shonen Knife to that list.
    and The Raincoats.
    [nods to Kurt on both of those]

    Also, the band, Ruby (Lesley Rankine) was pretty good.

    As far as the best female band goes?
    Yikes. I dunno.

    I think Heart and The Pretenders have to be way high up there for all their efforts. Joan Jett should get some cred too. Used to be in love with Blondie & Debbie Harry, as well, so?

    I think my favorite female album was probably Live Through This by Hole, but i'm loathe to say that given ole Courtney and her antics. I just love the agression melted with Kurts pop sense on that album. But that's all Hole ever got right, imho.
