    • is

      Somebody seriously suggesting that the Little Flames were of any kind of merit? They were utter dogshit and the woman couldn't sing. Almost as bad as The Rascals.

  • whats with the title of this thread?

    i think bands that happen to have girls in them tend to be better than the average.

  • What a silly question but

    • fuck me

      this thread is ridiculous, extremely sexist and pretty fucking insulting too.

      It just takes music back to the fucking dark ages , its the kind of shit the NME would come up with.

      Is it ironic? i dont know, but well done to Brusma and Errol_George for making moderaterock look like a cunt.

      Moderatrock just screams Paul Weller/OCS/Cast ladrock really doesnt it.

      • Actually, whatever you think of moderaterock's post, your post is what takes music back to the dark

        Whats really fucking insulting to me is people who try to censor debates like you're doing. Fair play to Brusma and Errol_george who've produced valid examples and disproved the original point.

        But posts like this which take ubrage but refuse to counter are utterly offensive, utterly counter-productive to intelligent debate and only serve to restrict free discussion whilst lacking the actual gut to themselves counter the arguments they dislike.

        • what the fuck are you on about?

          this thread is neither "discussion" nor "debate", and anyone who finds it offensive barely needs to justify their distaste since the main thrust of it is so totally fucking retarded

          at best this thread is a "good bands where the bassist has a beard" megapointless list thread. At worst it's a "bands with asian people who don't smell like curry"

      • I would assume

        it to be a Nirvana reference actually.

  • my old band!

    who else...

    The Sundays
    Au Pairs
    Delta 5
    Polysics

  • Abba

  • forward

    russia?

    ctrl f says no one has said that yet...

  • ctrl+f the ting tings

    okay they suck, but i think their song might be growing on me.

  • You know that thread...

    a while back when there was a suggestion that women in the industry come up against a patronising and backwards attitude....

  • ZoLOLf the Rock & Roll Destroyer

    ;)

  • Smashing

    Pumpkins. They suck now though.

  • NO HAS MENTIONED BIKINI KILL OR LE TIGRE!?!?

    Thank God.

  • MONO

  • the long blondes

  • I really hope

    That this thread was a joke. Even so, it's a pretty shit joke.

  • A million replies and no one's even mentioned YYY's.

  • oh fuck off.

  • Magik Markers

  • Bands with human beings in that don't suck?

    c'mon people! There must be SOME out there...

  • As if this thread needs another reply

    The Kills.

    • And another one...

      The Modettes

      And the Slits if someone hasn't mentioned them already (cannae be arsed scrawling up to find out).

      • Oh, and...

        Girls at Our best (immortalised by The Wedding Present when they covered Nowhere Fast on Tommy)

  • Fucking Hell...

  • The Victorian English Gentlemens Club

  • SKY LARKIN!

    Best band ever.

  • Girl in a coma

    Big fan here. New band. Found by Joan Jett. You should check em out.

  • ...

    Yeah Yeah Yeahs

  • For Fucks Sake

    I find the fact that the proportion of straight answers to ones questioning the title pretty sad. So most bands with girls in suck? You are a sad sad bunch.

    • ...

      I should really read through before I post stuff...but the ratio of straight answers to ones questioning the title is about 45:1. And that is a sad reflection.

      • Breeders?

        Elastica? apologies if someone's already said em but i couldn't be arsed to read the whole thing. Blondie?

  • Uzi and Ari.

    I'd like to think the girl might suck though. You never know- some dinner, some dancing... who knows where it might lead?

  • anyone know some bands with guitars that dont suck?

  • Heinous, Horrible thread title.

    Check out The Warmers, they;re really good.

    Also, start listening to bands on the basis of the sounds they're making as opposed to who the members are.

  • I'm a girl

    and yeah I dont tend to be a fan of that many bands with girls in them, so what? I dont find that a problem, but saying a band is crap purely because they have a female band member is of course stupid

    • Talking Heads

      Broken Social Scene
      Martha and The Vandellas
      The Supremes
      The Ronettes
      The Fugees
      Metric

      oh, hang on... this is the most retarded thread I've ever seen. Why did I feel compelled to reply?

    The band I was in at school. Oh no wait, we did suck. Disregard.

    • Suprised Mazzy Star

      took this long to come up, what a triumph of a band they were. Truly fantastic voice from Hope, looking forward to her appearance on Massive Attack's new LP.

      Oh, and Sleater-Kinney FTW.

      PJ Harvey, Bjork, Blondie, The Supremes!

      • whoops on mazzy

        but she's no girl

        i doubt she's of this world

  • fuck off

    lots of bands with girls don't suck. Lets get this sexist bullshit out of music. Your base assumption that bands with girls in will suck is stupid.

    • bat for lashes

      los campesinos
      crystal castles
      pencil toes

    • and pretty much his ^

  • Skunk Anansie

  • PARAMORE

  • Le Couteau Jaune

    Yes.

    • I don't mean Yes the band

      In fact, I don't know why I put that in the first place. Bye.

  • The only point in having girls in bands..

    ..is to act as male fantasies.

  • Loads

    Pulp
    Sonic Youth
    My Bloody Valentine
    Slowdive
    Lush
    Siouxsie & the Banshees
    Cocteau Twins
