Frankly, I dont know whether that TEN BEST FEMALE BANDS heading refers to bands with Female singers or just pure ALL GIRL bands. As such I havent heard much but I'll try to compile a list of the best I've heard(remember that these are ALL GIRL bands)
Chicks On Speed
4 non blondes
Shakespeares Sister
Sister Sledge
Banarama
Dixie Chicks
Atomic Kitten
Spice Chicks er Girls
Destinys Child
Bangles
If you ask me. only one band in that list really mattered to me - Bangles! The Bangles were touted as the female Beatles after their record Hazy Shade Of Winter hit the stands. The record churned out a number of hits including Manic Monday, Walk like an Egyptian, Walking down your street and If she knew what she wants. The Bangles failed to live up to the tag as they faded into oblivion a few years after this great record was released.
Now why did I put some of those other names in the list? Well 4 non blondes had a pretty decent hit in WHATS UP?, Bananarama was pretty good during their day, Destinys Child has Beyonce Knowles(please. she's talented. period), Spice Girls spawned a whole lot of hits and clones and Atomic Kitten. they purr:)
A special mention. Salt and Pepa was pretty good too:)
I'll be editing this review at some point of time to provide a clearer picture of the top ten all girl bands but tonight isnt the night. I have to borrow some all girl band CDs from someone:)
If you havent heard the Bangles album HAZY SHADE OF WINTER. go buy it! Its worth it.
Peace!
