OT--songs by women who rock

[nwhoopfan]

though I almost doubt that the latter group really was real

They played a gig in Seattle fairly recently. I didn't go, so I can't actually confirm they are real. As far as I know they are though.


Glad you've enjoyed the thread.

While I do like this thread, I continue to by amazed at some posters interpretation of "women who rock". The "women" part is pretty well covered, but some of the ideas of what "rocks" implies is very different than mine.

One beautiful song from Wendy Waldman:

Now here's an English voice for you from back then - Annie Haslam with Renaissance:

Definitely very different interpretations of who "rock." Life is full of surprises though. Last night I saw the Cowboy Junkies in concert. Their music in general is very mellow. Not live. The guitars were more hard rock style, and Margo Timmins, who has one of the most soothing voices I've heard, was really belting it out on some of the songs. Last night she rocked, and I would have never thought to include her in this category previously.

Kaki King, guitar goddess:

Can't forget this babe:

Eilen Jewell...with Jerry Miller on guitar.

Eilen Jewell.

I really like her voice, and her style. I know she passes thru Seattle periodically. Haven't caught one of her shows yet, but I need to. From Boise, Idaho I believe.

Can't forget this babe:

I never realized Bananarama's version of this song wasn't the original. Now I know.

Haim's music "rocks" pretty gently much of the time but they can get after it when they want to.

Skip to about 3:15 or so for Danielle's sweet guitar solo.

Haim

The best Californian sister trio since the Samuelsons. Maybe Bonnie, Karlie and Katie Lou can start a band if the basketball thing doesn't work out.

It's song thread season. I'm bumping this one, because I've found some stuff I didn't know about before that fits in this category. I've dabbled around the edges of goth metal, but apparently there are just a boat load of bands out there doing this (and the closely related symphonic metal), mostly from northern European/Scandinavian countries. Some of the bands sound remarkably similar to each other. Here's one in particular I like, Within Temptation.

 

[nwhoopfan]

If you're into that kind of thing, this is wish fulfillment kind of stuff, a duet w/ the lead singers of Within Temptation and Nightwish, 2 of the bigger bands in that genre.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I don't think this band is very well known. I just stumbled on this song on you tube, something about it I find really mesmerizing.

 

[nwhoopfan]

I might've used this band before. They rock the hell out of a Lady Gaga cover song. Live version, audio isn't the highest quality.

 

[nwhoopfan]

One more. This is in the category of people you wouldn't think of as rockers who can really rock if they want to. Pretty cool because it's a sister duo doing of a cover of a Heart song (a sister duo from Seattle) while live in Seattle, and bonus points because I was at this show. They brought the house down w/ this song. Couldn't match the guitar intro, but the vocals are a pretty darn good tribute to Ann Wilson. This is WAY different than First Aid Kit's normal style.

Half in German, half in English... Nena (99 Red Balloons) and K Wilde. 2 hot chicks rocking it out!
