Best Frontwoman Ever!

Frank Cronin

Now this post should bring many views into the open, are they considered 'punk', have they that presence etc. I may well have forgotten some so feel free to add any, the list is very small. I say the jury is still out on Juliette Lewis, to my mind she could well crack it, super show at the Voodoo.

Thoughts?


* Patti Smith - Patti Smith Group.
* Debbie Harry - Blondie.
* Siouxsie Sioux - Siouxsie & The Banshees.
* Gaye Advert - The Adverts.
* Poly Styrene - Xrayspex.
* Plasmatics?
* Penetration?
* Lene Lovich.
* Hazel O' Connor.
* Toyah Wilcox.
* Chrissie Hynde.
* Kate Pierson - The B-52's.
* Ivy Rorschach - The Cramps.
* Cait O' Riordain - The Pogues / The Radiators / Enemigos.
* Beki Bondage - Vice Squad / GBH.
* Juliette Lewis - Juliette & The Licks

Frank Cronin

Zip of late I am aware of, Paranoid Visions used to have a lengthy list including: Nuala Hoop / Emily / Nikki & Aisling - think they all departed the music scene years ago though.

It's Enemigos, bass & voice, its a side project fo the reformed Radiators Plan 9, see www.theradiators.tv for their gigs etc, they did not show up at the last 2 or 3 gigs where they had support slots (SLF / Blood Or Whiskey / Other).
