The 20 Most Influential All-Female Bands Ever

**Wasted** · July 26th, 2004, 06:32 PM

I was pleased to see The Runaways listed at #3 behind Sleater-Kinney and The Go-Go's in the ROCKRGRL article Grl's Club: The 20 Most Influential All-Female Bands Ever. The article appears in the Summer 2004 / Number 52 issue on page 27. There are no pictures and the article is very skimpy, but at least they are on the list!

#3????? The Runaways should be #1 IMO!
Did Precious Metal make the list? How about Fanny?
Thanks for the info Wasted!

Im extremely pleased to see Kittie is in there....

But i wonder where Hole is??

IMO The Runaways taught The go-go's and Sleater Kinney what rock n' roll is all about [img]tongue.gif[/img]
They will always be #1 in my list [img]graemlins/star.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

I do think they should be # one, but Charlotte of the Go-Go's is actually my one and only celebrity friend, and she's an awesome gal!
Maybe they left off Hole because of Eric?

Yeah, I thought Hole always had a male drummer. I saw an interview with Courtney before Hole disbanded and she was kind of bummed because she always wanted an all-girl band.

Courtney Love does better in Spin magazine's 50 Greatest Rock Frontmen of All Time where she comes in at #18, the highest female entry. Joan Jett is at #33. (August 2004 issue with The Hives on the cover)

They had a couple of drummers, and i'm pretty sure both were female. Eric was the lead guitarist. I feel bad for her! She's all over the place...And I thought her solo album rocked!

Oops, got that wrong. I knew there was a guy in the band and I thought he was the drummer. Thanks for correcting my mistake.
