    Heart hands down IMO.

    ... but Veruca Salt would be my 2nd choice.

    First band that came to mind was Veruca Salt. "American Thighs" is an amazing record.

    I'll go
    1. Veruca Salt
    2. Heart (they would be 1 but lose some points for being a product of the cheesy 80's glam period)
    3. Go Go's
    4. L7

    i really like Ladytron and Tilly & The Wall for some reason (not normally the kind of stuff i listen to).....not rock-bands as such, but worth a look.

    overall vote goes to L7 or The Pretenders

    The Pretenders
    Go-Go's

    The best probably have been mentioned already but some worth mentioning or otherwise bad ass bands include

    Drain Sth
    They were Swedish, damn hot and played grunge/metal
    http://i.walmart.com/i/p/00/73/14/54/62/0073145462622_500X500.jpg

    Rockbitch
    I never saw them perform, but they were something alright. A quote from one fan site
    "At some point in the evening during each show, they throw a golden condom into the crowd and whoever catches it literally gets to fuck one of the band members on stage! And even more recently, they've started throwing I believe a platinum condom into the crowd and the lucky ducky who holds onto that one gets to FUCK ALL OF THE BAND MEMBERS IN A HUGE DEBAUCHEROUS ORGY BACKSTAGE AFTER THE SHOW."

    Wiki:Rockbitch was an expat British mostly-female Celtic punk/metal/goth band, best known for performing nude and incorporating sexual acts and Pagan rituals into their performances.

    Edit:
    A clean clip and ok song so might as well post it

    The Donnas are also a pretty decent band.

    One member of Drain Sth eventually married Tony Iommi. The band was heavily influenced by AIC, so even with ok songs there just was no way to escape the poor woman's AIC label. With some originality who knows?

    And to imalive: Yes i know and i'm sorry :D
    It's just like it would be hard to include Sex Pistols to the best bands of all time top5 but as a band who were able to raise some eyebrows top5 they're pretty high. With female bands it doesn't take that much to raise the brows, therefore Rockbitch deserves to be mentioned.

    Is there a female rocker that Tommy Iommi didn't marry???? :rolleyes:

    Yeah, The Donnas get my vote. Heart before they had the big hits (yes, I did say hits). Hot music chicks would include Clare Grogan (Altered Images), Sarah Cracknell (Saint Etienne), Sussana Hoffs and S.O.M.F Stevie Nicks!

    I listen to plenty of female musicians, but for some reason I don't seem to have many female-lead bands in my collection. The only one I can think of is The Breeders, and I'm really just a casual fan of that group. I also used to listen to Le Tigre quite a bit, but they don't really fit my mood anymore.

    Hole was my first thought. The only all girl band I've seen live was The Like opening for Kings of Leon at Ziggy's in Winston-Salem in 2005 and they were pretty decent...not usually a big fan of female singers for whatever reason...
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    If 50% female qualifies, then my vote currently goes to The Dresden Dolls, even though Tegan and Sara is up there.

    I could name more but most have been mentioned many times over.

    The Supremes or The Ronettes
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
