No. The Donnas suck hard. they are sooooooooo........... I dunno, but when their drummer was spinning her drumstick and pointing up in the air, i wanted to throw up on her. That was by far the stupidest thing i've ever seen, i wish there was a really really good all girl band that i could enjoy, because then all the stereotypes in my head would kill bob dole.

*nods* I know what you mean. I don't think I've ever come across any female BANDS that don't annoy the hell out of me and/or suck. Sure, female *singing* groups are generally tolerable, but for some reason, girls rocking out with instruments half their size just... doesn't look right.

Wow, I'm a traitor to my gender. A true anti-feminist I become!

the reason i search for a good female band is the same reason im trying to find rap that i like/ have respect for.

There was an alright all chic band called Nitocris from Australia, but they broke up early last year. I don't really mind the Donnas but I wouldn't buy their gear.

I don't hate the Donnas per se, but I find them utterly uninteresting.

Hehe, the local alternative papers here in Portland can't stop gushing about Sleater-Kinney. They're from this area, if I'm not mistaken. Anyhow, the one song I've heard of theirs wasn't too bad.

Sleater-Kinney rock harder than almost any band, period. Female or male. I have 3 of their albums and they're all tops. They're sort of a punk band, but don't expect big riffs or 3-chord songs. There's no bass player, just 2 guitarists and a drummer, and the guitarists sort of share lead duties, playing note patterns that weave in and out of each other. It's much more fun than it sounds.

At first it took me a while to get used to the lead singer's voice. It's very unique, very powerful, not like any other girl's voice I'd ever heard before. I think we're all trained to think that girls can't rock, so when we see a girl playing an instrument as big as she is, or hear a girl sing with some authority, we instantly think "That's wrong! This is wierd!" And that was my first reaction to Sleater-Kinney, but after a few spins, I was totally digging it. This is how grrrl rock is supposed to sound, assertive, urgent, original, fun. Heck, that's what all rock is supposed to strive for.

"Dig Me Out" was where I started and suggest that you do too. "One Beat" is also great. Supposedly "Call The Doctor" is their best but I haven't heard it yet. Check them out. Download a song.

There are a ton of kick-ass girl bands. Anyone who says otherwise is stuck in the boys club that's today's radio.

Before i had read these responses, i started downloading some of their stuff, andi thought some of it was really good, i havnt finished dig me out yet though, and i told my mom the exact same thing about her voice, its very powerful, and i like it, i downloaded them covering fortunate son, and they did a pretty good job, im gonna download more of them....

And im happy that there is a female band that is actually good, Fuck the donnas and fuck MTV fuck everything popular because it automatically sucks if its played on MTV or has been previewed on MTV in the past 5 years. FUCK FUCK FUCK STEREOTYPES. Now i have to find the rap.
