Rocker Chicks on SLS 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.
