A few days ago I wrote an entry I entitled The Female Voice in Rock. I applauded the presence of three songs on SLS11 sung by women.
This raises the question as to how many songs with a woman providing the lead vocals have made an edition of SLS. Below is the complete list in chronological order.
- Veruca Salt - Volcano Girls (SLS1)
- Garbage - I Think I'm Paranoid (SLS1)
- Hole - Celebrity Skin (SLS1)
- Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother (SLS5)
- Garbage - Shut Your Mouth (SLS6)
- Bif Naked - I Love Myself Today (SLS6
- Holly McNarland - Do You Get High? (SLS7)
- The Distillers - Drain The Blood (SLS10)
- The Distillers - Beat Your Heart Out (SLS11)
- Metric - Combat Baby (SLS11)
- Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps (SLS11)
So you see, only eleven songs in all of SLS have a female voice singing lead vocals. Still, with three of them appearing on the most recent edition, this could be a turning point for women in rock.
