Ladies In Rock

By on 08/26/2007 in Misc.

I have this weakness for female musicians. It started in my formative years, when I fell in love with the Shirelles on oldies radio. It continued as I explored other 50s and 60s girl groups, The Pretenders, Siouxsie, Poly Styrene, etc. In general, I think women in rock music are severely underrepresented and frequently appreciated for the wrong reasons.

So you’ll have to forgive my hypocrisy in saying this, but I am currently obsessed with M.I.A. and The Pipettes. Their music is good (especially M.I.A. – that new album is killing me), but ultimately they just look so damn good.

It’s refreshing to see ladies who aren’t white, or who aren’t stick thin, holding a point of view in fashion. Can I help it that I’m inspired by their music and their looks?
