Rocker Chicks on SLS

Rocker Chicks on SLS

A few days ago I wrote an entry I entitled The Female Voice in Rock.  I applauded the presence of three songs on SLS11 sung by women.

This raises the question as to how many songs with a woman providing the lead vocals have made an edition of SLS.  Below is the complete list in chronological order.

  • Veruca Salt - Volcano Girls (SLS1)
  • Garbage - I Think I'm Paranoid (SLS1)
  • Hole - Celebrity Skin (SLS1)
  • Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother (SLS5)
  • Garbage - Shut Your Mouth (SLS6)
  • Bif Naked - I Love Myself Today (SLS6
  • Holly McNarland - Do You Get High? (SLS7)
  • The Distillers - Drain The Blood (SLS10)
  • The Distillers - Beat Your Heart Out (SLS11)
  • Metric - Combat Baby (SLS11)
  • Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps (SLS11)

So you see, only eleven songs in all of SLS have a female voice singing lead vocals.  Still, with three of them appearing on the most recent edition, this could be a turning point for women in rock.
