My list of female fronted bands/ female artists + genre and a shitty description. Continually updated

I tried to sort by genre and decade (70s, 90s, 00/10s) and include links to their spotifys. Feel free to add more! Pls dont let this flop

Fleetwood Mac - classic rock pop. for cottagecores and witches. One of the most iconic bands and if ur on here you probably already listen to them.

Fanny - pioneering all-female rock band from the 70’s. One of David Bowie’s favorite bands They were groundbreaking

The Runaways - big, loud, classic, guitar-driven rock n roll. Basically the first all-female band to leave an impression doing it ‘like the boys’; they were all teens, too. Like fanny, they broke barriers for women in rock, more famous than fanny tho

Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - joan jett might as well be the definition of a rockstar™️ no man could ever match up

Patti Smith - punk rock’s poet. Royalty. The punk ™️

Blondie - “most commercially successful band to emerge from the New York punk/new wave community of the late '70s.” Simply iconic and even if you think you havent, you have bopped to their songs, and thats a promise

X-Ray Spex - English punk band of the late seventies fronted by the one and only Poly Styrene. They didnt release a lot of music though ://

The Raincoats - post-punk before post-punk was a thing. One of the most significant female punk bands of the 70’s

The Slits - right there along with the raincoats, female punk from the 70’s. When they started they barely knew how to play, but they didn’t let that stop them, and it went really well

ESG - lively funk. Bass line 😚👌🏽makes you dance

7 Year Bitch - aggressive punk from the nineties. I am convinced that they could beat me up really bad(ass).

Bikini Kill - the og riot grrrl band. Feminist punk from the 90s

Le Tigre - more electronic band fronted by Kathleen Hannah from bikini kill

Bratmobile - the other og riot grrrls

Sonic Youth - experimental indie rock. Really important and influential, influenced the likes of Radiohead and doesn’t get nearly enough recognition for it

Elastica - catchy hook-driven punk rock. Truly great and ahead of their time

Garbage - guitar-based, electronic-washed pop rock. Similar to sonic youth but a bit more pop

Sleater-Kinney - defining American indie rock band of the second half of the '90s. Riot grrrl roots, one of the best bands of their time (according to spotify. I think theyre cool)

Pj Harvey - theatrical and intense lyrics that explore many topics like female sexuality among many others that im too lazy to say. She has left a deep and lasting impression in rock, really iconic. Indie rock sensation

Destroy boys - modern riot grrrl punk rock band, relatable lyrics and songs you can listen to for hours. One of my favorite bands

Big Joanie - black feminist punk band from london. They have a more electronic sound and the bess is really noticeable in their songs. Catchy

Pleasure venom - their music is described as post punk but they draw inspiration and elements from other subgebres of rock to solidify their eclectic sound

No doubt - 90s new wave/ska. Simply iconic, definition of the nineties

Björk - weird ass avant-garde pop. Really innovative

Portishead - 90’s trip hop. The ultimate vibe

Aterciopelados - in spanish genre-bending hippies, their music is unique and transcends genre. backbone band of my hippie upbringing

Mima - in spanish indie singer from puerto rico. Incredible voice and incredible lyrics. My favorite singer ever and she went to my house once

Ile - in spanish puerto rican singer-songwriter. Her sound differs from song to song but its rooted in classical latin styles. Her voice is phenomenal. Was part of calle 13, a really influential rap group in pr and latin america

Nina Simone - do i need to explain? One of the most gifted vocalists ever, pianist and songwriter; cannot be restricted to one genre. Strong, passionate, and emotional, rattles your bones

Skinny Girl Diet - feminist indie trio. Their music is guitar heavy and rick in punk, riot grrrl and grunge elements

Against me! - punk band fronted by trans woman Laura Jane Grace. Opened for green day in 2017

The Objex - punk rock sometimes going at metal

Mommy long legs - punk rock, guitar heavy, and catchy. Im obsessed with them ngl

Nova Twins - electronic + bass/guitar heavy duo. Heavy n melodic shit wish strong vocals

Hands Off Gretel - punk rock from the uk

Guppy - alt rock. Fells heavy but isnt heavy at all (im making no sense) good for vibing with friends

Potty Mouth - feel-good punk rock, catchy songs

Fiona Apple - alternative singer-songwriter turned cult artist. Simply amazing. Poppish

Rilo Kiley - late 90’s early ‘00s indie pop

Paramore - pop punk turned pop rock, 2000s. their most recent albums, in particular, have really bright and recognizable sound and vibe.

The Regrettes - punk-inspired alt pop

The Aquadolls - similar to the regrettes, they have the whole beachy vibe going for them

Mala Rodrigues - in spanish spanish rapper, im scared of her

Tonight alive - catchy pop punk

E^ST - pop hooks and moody indie-electronica, feels kinda weird and alienish

Alanis morissette - actually good dance-pop

Phoebe Bridgers - indie pop. next tumblt indie royalty, im calling it

Snail Mail - indie rock. Aesthetic

Legs Electric - new and small classic rock-inspired all girl band. Only 95 monthly listeners on spotify so if you wanna feel obscure and rock n roll but not becesarrily dark go check them out!

G. L. O. S. S. - hardcore punk. Their name means "Girls Living Outside Society's Shit." Queer, transgebder women, women of color. Rlly hardcore and most of their songs are under two minutes

George Harrison: Living in the Material World (2011) | Nowhere Boy (2009)          George was just too young. He looked even younger than Paul, and Paul looked about ten, with his baby face. – John Lennon, The Beatles Anthology 

‘look there’s you!’

Deaky *with a recorder*: “This is John Richard Deacon speaking, we’re on day 2 of Roger locking himself up on a cupboard over his car song. Freddie’s been screaming since 9am, Roger is slipping very rude notes under the door and Brian has quit the band twice. I don’t how much longer we’ll hold on. Please help us.”

🌸 Martha & Paul 🌸

+ John Lennon

“John said, ‘I’ve never seen you like that before.’ I’ve since thought, you know, he wouldn’t have. It’s only when you’re cuddling around with a dog that you’re in that mode. And she was a very cuddly dog.” -Paul MCartney

My idea is that you keep working. A lot of people want to get the hell out of the factory and retire. But I’m doing my hobby, so I don’t want to give it up. I’m going off now and I’ll pick up the electric guitar and play some rock and roll. I still feel the same thrill I used to feel. I’m allowed to play this really cool guitar through a brilliant amp and turn it up as loud as I like. I still love it, and it still seems like a privilege. – Paul McCartney (2009)          HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAUL! (JUNE 18, 1942)

Dead Poets Society (1989) director Peter Weir
