Apparently I'm feeling bull-headed today (this is the second "yeah, but" I've posted in 5 minutes), because (and I'm sure this is NOT the point that was being made) I have totally bemoaned the male-dominated-ness of rock bands. Why is it so common as to be unremarkable that a whole lot of the big-name bands (and a whole lot of the local/regional ones, as well) are all-male? I don't attribute it to a talent gap, of course. I think it's more likely an effect of music-scene culture.

Yeah, that. It's like how "no women" are brilliant sci-fi authors. Or whatever other field you want to name.

Honestly, if this guy hasn't heard of the Pixies, his opinion is irrelevant.

QFT

Smashing Pumpkins? White Stripes?

White Stripes?

No romantic involvements!

So Fleetwood Mac are definitely out.

Aaaaaand there goes the Mamas and the Papas. Wait, Mama Cass didn't do anyone, did she?

Shit she's a singer.

Erase her from the Rock n' Roll file, Hec.

Does that mean "boys" in all boy bands don't count either?

White stripes

He counts, she doesn't. I think that's how this works.

Robert Plant. Not a rock musician.

I guess you only count if you're a girl who plays with a guy (whole lotta bullshit right there) and the guys you play with are ugly. And you don't have the best voice. Then you rock!

The Beatles all sang in a boy band.

ERASED.

Like I said on Facebook, his criteria are bullshit, for so many reasons. If he can come up with a list of male musicians that have never sung, haven't been in all-male bands, and haven't been romantically involved with female musicians in their band, then come up with a list.

Then you get to decide, based on a secret criteria known only to you, whether or not they are well-known.

Why not? It's Bullshit List Hour!
