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:

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