I was listening to the rock and alternative rock tabs on last.fm today and after about 2 hours I realized that I had not heard even one female artist yet. What the HELL?? Surely there are SOME women rockers, right????? It kinda pisses me off in general how few women make it in the arts anyhow. Writers, musicians, actors - one day we'll have some sort of equality with men, right? I mean, I like me my mens but women have so much to offer.  Are we damned to obscurity in this male-dominated world?  *shakes fist*  

Who's your favorite female musician? I'm curious. This is kinda a crappy vid and the song isn't rock nor alternative rock, but this is my favorite song by a female artist lately. I found it off of someone's fanmix. I wish I could remember whose ...

I completely agree. The other day, a friend and I were discussing how it seems the majority of songs deal with love and/or heartbreak... and the ratio of male to female artists, who make music actually worth listening to, is definitely skewed.

In terms of rock bands with female leads that I like and can think of off the top of my head are The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Ida Maria, Shiny Toy Guns, Garbage, The Donnas, Metric and Pat Benatar :D As for just female artists I really like? It's a toss up between Ingrid Michaelson, MoZella, Dido, Feist, Anna Nalick, Holly Conlan, Missy Higgins, Pink and Missy Elliot... also, I'm of the belief that you can never have enough Kylie Minogue on your zune :P

Awesome!! I do like Kylie Minogue and of course Pat. I haven't heard of most of the others. Sweet!! I'm looking forward to checking them out. Thanks!!

Do you have a Zune? I'm in LOVE with my Zune. It goes everywhere with me. I splurged and got the 80 gb so I watch a lot of TV shows on it too while I'm at the gym. Yay for Zune!!

I do ^-^
I've got a little pink 4Gb that goes everywhere with me. The picture quality, while not as great as the 80GB, is still pretty fantastic :D I listen to my zune when I run at the gym, definitely makes the half an hour go by faster! High5 for zunes! ^5
