[WildHearted]

Spice Girls
Bangles
Destiny's Child

that's it really haha.

[fumidesigns]

no clue. i mean really...............i don't think i own any "girl group" cds at all.

[Artemis]

If by Girl Group / Band you're restricting it to those with only females included (ie, not just a female vocalist, but with male musicians) I gotta go super old-school and go for the Supremes;

Ditto. All the girl groups I can think of off the top of my head are pretty shallow and vapid. Not m'thang at all...

[mezzoforte]

1. The Bangles--first group I ever loved. I owned all of their cds by the time I was 7. If I ever have a daughter, Susanna will be a serious contender for her name.
2. The Spice Girls--yeah, I'm dating myself.
3. The Dixie Chicks--yeah, I know. But Natalie Maines has an incredible voice.

Close behind: The Go-Go's, the Shangri-Las, pretty much any of the Motown groups.

I don't really listen to their music, but my best friend's dad works closely with WP so I've long heard stories and finally got to meet them a couple of months ago. And seriously--sweetest women! Loved them all, esp. the Wilson sisters (Carnie is hilarious). They ended the night with a few songs (two with Michelle Phillips) and it was just gorgeous.
Sorry--that was probably pretty random, but I just thought I'd share.:o

[mylittledemon]

I always kinda liked The Donnas... The Bangles & the Go-Gos are okay... En Vogue was hot back in the day.

[APerfectLie]

Can we say Tegan and Sara? Maybe they aren't your typical "girl group" and they do have some guys play some instruments, but it is mostly them and the only girl group I really care to listen to.

That's so cool, thanks for sharing that!! WP are amazing! Fans want them to release a new album with new material (which they haven't sinse 1992). Their last two albums were a Christmas one & a 'remakes' album called 'California in 2004. They might have a new one out this year!:D

I love Carnie, she's so funny & has a great sense of humor! My fave song from them is actually not one of their hits but a track from the debut album called 'Eyes Like Twins'. The lyrics & harmonies are killer! :)

[CreepingDeath]

In no particular order-

Spice Girls
TLC
En Vogue
Salt-N-Pepa
The Supremes
The Go-Go's
The Runaways

[louielouie2000]

3. The Dixie Chicks--yeah, I know. But Natalie Maines has an incredible voice.

Ahh, now there's a girl group with some real substance and absolutely unique talent! :nod: I'm still bitter about how their career was instantly ruined by an utterly idiotic mob mentality. :rolleyes:

You know I was never really a "fan" of that record, but any time I hear those songs I am immediately transported back to 1990.

[Heartboy]

In no particular order-

Spice Girls


I'm not ashamed to admit that at the age of 21 when they were really popular, I was a huge fan & was in the fan club!

I LOVE my Spice Girls Lollipops!:eek::shocked::laugh::rolleyes:

[Dodfather]

1 - The Go Go's (LOVE them! They were also pretty groundbreaking. Beauty and the Beat was the first album entirely written and performed by women to top the charts)

2 - Girls Aloud / Heart (I couldn't choose between them. I love Ann and Nancy!)

3 - Dixie Chicks

[Heartboy]

Of course if I asked whom your fave female 'fronted band' was, my answer would be Heart!

These ladies along with Stevie are the reasons why I believe in love! :)

"Now Walk Those Legs Right Over Here & Give Me What I'm Dying For":thumbsup:



Here's an 80's classic, this is actually 'Never'! "Never Run Away...from love"

[darklinensuit]

Can't say I listen to girl groups very much, but some of the best are the Shirelles & the Andrews Sisters.
How's that for making me sound old?:cool:

- Jake

[TrueFaith77]

ALL TIME: The Supremes

CONTEMPORARY: Girls Aloud (find "The Loving Kind" for pure bliss and their producers, Xenomania, are/were the best pop factory of the modern era)

[RickRobert]

Here's an 80's classic, this is actually 'Never'! "Never Run Away...from love"

Never is the best Heart song ever :blob2:

[Dodfather]

This infuriates me too. I've been a fan of theirs for years - Natalie's voice is fantastic. Louie - have you seen Shut Up and Sing - the documentary about the fallout of said mob mentality and the recording of the follow-up album, Taking The Long Way? It's a great, yet infuriating/disturbing film.

I was hoping that their career wouldn't have been ruined by such events, and I was really happy when the next album did so well (it's brilliant!) but they've disappeared since then so maybe it did ruin them after all.

I think more than anything it all affected Natatlie and so she has chosen to take a real back seat in the music business now. That's why Emily and Martie did their album as Court Yard Hounds, because Natalie said she wasn't ready/didn't want to return to the music buiness full time. Then there was the tour-that-never-really-was with the Eagles. Take those things together and, sadly, the Chicvks may be done. Such a shame!!

By the way - the Court Yard Hounds album is really good, especially after a few listens.

[ButterCookie]

If we're counting Heart, then of course I love Ann and Nancy.

But, The Runaways! Joan Jett has taught me more than my own mother and almost as much as Debbie Harry.

[DefDumbandBlond]

The Supremes, The Shangri-Las, and The Runaways are my main 3. :)

[YoungAmericans]

4 Non Blondes, I guess.:shrug:

[Heartboy]

4 Non Blondes, I guess.:shrug:

Only three! That's four!:p

[fumidesigns]

In no particular order-

Spice Girls
TLC
En Vogue
Salt-N-Pepa
The Supremes
The Go-Go's
The Runaways

nice list. who are the runaways?

[Bryan]

I always kinda liked The Donnas... The Bangles & the Go-Gos are okay... En Vogue was hot back in the day.

En Vogue still are! Saw them few months back,they put on an awesome show!

[Macfanforever]

As of now.off the top of my head

The Bangles
The Go Go's
Bananarama
Heart if included.

Country
Sweethearts of the Rodeo
The Dixie Chicks

[fumidesigns]

En Vogue still are! Saw them few months back,they put on an awesome show!

yeah they look amazing!

[SapphireSister]

Hands down The Pointer Sisters. There would be no En Vogue, Destiny's Child, etc. without them. Not only did they have chart-topping success but they inspired a generation to come of young black female girl groups. Hits like Jump (for my love), I'm So Excited, He's So Shy, Automatic, etc. represent their critical and commercial success.
Sadly, they suffered with many personal issues and the line-up changed over the years. June Pointer (often referred to as the lead singer although they switched back and forth) died in 2006 after years of drug abuse and trouble with the law but their music will live on in my heart forever. R.I.P. June

I'm not ashamed to admit that when they re-united in 20o7, I saw them four times. Three in Las Vegas and once in London. :laugh: :woohoo:

[YoungAmericans]

The Reynolds Girls!!:angel:

[Dodfather]

Great choice. I prefer 2 Become 1 though.

[CreepingDeath]

Great choice. I prefer 2 Become 1 though.

I'm torn between Who Do You Think You Are and Viva Forever.

[Dodfather]

Oh.. and Stop.. and Spice Up Your Life.. but I really, really like Holler too. One that was very much forgotten abiout.

[ButterCookie]

My mum just told me that I used to scream when I heard the Spice Girls and clamp my hands over my ears before going into a foetal position on the floor :laugh:

[CreepingDeath]

Oh.. and Stop.. and Spice Up Your Life.. but I really, really like Holler too. One that was very much forgotten abiout.

I love Holler. Actually, I really love most of the Forever album.

[mezzoforte]

Great choice. I prefer 2 Become 1 though.

I cracked up when I heard 2 become 1 a few years ago and realized just how explicit it is:eek:. All of that sailed right over my 8-year-old head when it first came out!

Now when my friends comment on how jarring it is to watch second graders dancing to wildly inappropriate Pussycat Dolls songs, I just start singing, "Be a little bit wiser, baby. Put it on, put it on..."

[Dodfather]

I really liked that album when it came out but it has not aged well! Other than Holler, I don't really like it any more.

[Dodfather]

It is explicit but it's a very positive safe-sex message! The worst one was Deep by East 17. Trust me, goback and read the lyrics....

[CreepingDeath]

I really liked that album when it came out but it has not aged well! Other than Holler, I don't really like it any more.

It does scream early 2000's, but I still like some of the songs. I'll play Forever about every six months or so just for a little nostalgia.

[fringed n fab]

A few girl groups come to mind but as far as big vocals on some songs right up there with Ann Wilson, Vixen could belt em out. :nod:

[TerraRhiannon]

I don't know any real 'Girl Groups'...I know about the Spice Girls & I guess I liked them at one point, but have never really LOVED a girl group other than the Dixie Chicks. Oh, and do the Runaways count, I love them :)

[chiliD]

Hmmm...nothing like "showing one's age"...

1) The Bangles

2) The Go-Go's

3) The Supremes

4) Martha & The Vandellas

5) The Dixie Chicks

6) The Ronettes

7) The Marvelettes

8) Pointer Sisters

How could I forget Vixen!!:shocked:

I LOVE this song!:cool:


"I won't be cryin'...cryin'..when I think about you" OK, I'll stop singing!:rolleyes:;)

[Dodfather]

I really, relly love the Go - Go's and Belinda's solo stuff. Let's not forget Jane's finest solo moment too - I love Rush Hour!

Go Go's are doing as US tour this summer/autumn!

[Fiver]

The Supremes and uh... Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris, do they count?

[Dodfather]

Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris, do they count?

YEAH! I love all 3 of these women and so the Trio albums are just fantastic.

[Lee]

Well, it has to be Heart. I saw them last year & they were awesome. I also saw The Bangles not too long again & enjoyed their show. I like the Go-Go's. Yes, I saw that they were touring & have been thinking about seeing them in AC, NJ.

Lee :)

[ontheEdgeof17]

Heart
Spice Girls
Girls Aloud
Pussycat Dolls
Pointer Sisters
Dixie Chicks
Does ABBA count?

[llb]

Heart, Supremes, Indigo Girls

[Silver Springs]

The only girl band I can ever remember listening to is the Spice Girls, during my very naive childhood years. I'm glad I grew out of that.

[CreepingDeath]

Do the Judds count? I used to love them when I was a little kid.

My grandmother was a seamstress, and would make my cousins and me a ton of Barbie clothes. There was one dress she made that was red, short, and really poofy on the bottom (the bodice was tight). All very 80s. I think Naomi Judd wore something like it, so of course it was referred to as, "the Judds one". :o

[Heartboy]

Well, it has to be Heart. I saw them last year & they were awesome.

Lee :)

Yes, they are!:blob2:;)

They're touring with Def Leppard this summer!:)

[Heartboy]

I was in my early 20's when they were popular and a big fan, I wasn't naive & still love em'!!:D:eek::lol::shocked:
