I think there are alot of powerful female singers/songwriters out there. Unfortunately, sex sells, and people are going to buy a half naked Britney and J. Lo (*double shudder*) before they will buy:

Bonnie Riatt
Joan Osbourne
Etta James
Billie Holiday (Aaaaaaaaaaaangeeeeeeeeeeelll)
Carole King

Mazzy Star (Hope Sandoval)
Coldplay. That is a big girl singing, right?

I've wondered about the lack of all female bands myself. I guess rock bands are still considered male territory. There are also very few bands where there is a mix of female and males. No Doubt, Blondie, and Garbage are all one female plus many males, but Fleetwood Mac had 2 females and 3 males. It would be interesting to see how the interband dynamic is different compared to bands composed of the same gender.

Maybe females are not afforded the same opportunities as men are in the music business. It seems that the only way *most* females can compete is to sell out to Hollywood's desire of looking/acting/singing a certain way.

Yes there are some wonderful women groups- but the men do outnumber them.

I'll add to the list Joni Mitchell though.

[color=royal blue]That is an excellent point. I guess it's not so much an issue of their existence, it's their prevelance.....how much publicity they're affored o_O Dood that sucks.
