Here's one for Sludge

In my opinion it's Heart though Hanoi Rocks were great in their time

Any more opinions?

The answer is Sleater-Kinney, although I do have a soft spot for this lot :biggrin:

Heart were a great hard rock band in their time

Hanoi rocks looked like women but were blokes

Luscious Jackson were a favourite of mine in days gone by

As were Babes In Toyland , they made a right racket

Also throwing muses kicked ass, furious is a very powerful song

The Breeders also did some good stuff , safari being my favourite band

Runaways did some great songs

Influenced a lot of women to get into music

The Donna's got much of their sound from the runaways

Hanoi Rocks were a Finnish all male band. Perhaps the most under-rated rock band of all time. Have a blast of this:

Although not a whole band I thought Patti Smith was brilliant

Fanny. Saw them at the Roundhouse in London in the early 70's alongside Jethro Tull. A female version of Status Quo IIRC.
