I've never understood misogyny, especially in rock music. I've read many accounts of female rockers who were harassed, condescended to and discriminated against while trying to break into the music business. I never got it.
Well, I think it's safe to say that, as in other areas of society, the girls have decided to come and play on their own terms! To borrow from an old cliche, a woman needs a man like a fish needs an electric guitar!
Check out these female fronted bands.
Nightwish - Bye Bye Beautiful
Epica - Unleashed
Halestorm - I Get Off
Within Temptation - What Have You Done Now?
Leaves Eyes - Farewell Proud men

ReplyDeleteGreat list!

There's a mash-up with Nightwish & Gary Moore singing Moore's Over the Hills & Far Away. I'll have to find it. Whoever edited the video jumped back and forth between Nightwish & Gary Moore. So cool! They were singing in the same key so that made it even better! :o)
