Fave Girl Group? - Page 2

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"

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

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?

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)

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.

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.

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

YoungAmericans · #23 04-03-2011, 10:58 AM

4 Non Blondes, I guess.

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 LOVE my Spice Girls Lollipops!

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.
