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!
Or maybe if all the guys in your band are gay. Then you are allowed to rock.
Rock only? That's the criteria? Smashing Pumpkins I think. And Schellenbach is gay, so I don't think she did anything with the other Beastie Boys. Likewise, Joan Jett probably didn't fuck the Blackhearts.
Mama did a LOT of peeps, as she had a legendary appetite for The Sex.
Incidently, Perkins and I saw Lyle Lovett on Saturday and his drummer was Russ Kunkel (!!!!!!!!). Russ was married to Cass's little sister Leah and together they raised Owen, Cass's daughter, after Cass died.
Bikini Kill, I think. But is punk rock not rock?
Apart from singers, those with romantic involvement with girls in the band and members of all-boy groups, can you think of even one reasonably well known male rock musician? (I can think of only one, but even that is something of a special case.)
Ima use that, bon. I'm ganking it.
But is punk rock not rock?
Tell it to the Ramones. Or better yet, try to tell it the Ramones. Or, let's get girly, The Slits.
You know that bassline you like in "Burning Down the House"? Tina Weymouth.
