Does anyone here know good 90's chick bands? Here's my list so far: Garbage The Pretenders Morissette (Jagged Little Pill) The Cardigans Bikini Kill I know I'm missing heaps. You guys did such a fine job in pointing me towards the Smashing Pumpkins, so I'm sure that you've got fine taste.
Sarah McLaughlin (sp). But I dislike girl singers. Try Buckcherry.... Oh, does anyone know who sings that song that goes like: "A friend in need is friend indeed, a friend with weed is better"? Awesome song. Edit: try Wheatus.
Placebo. No it isn't awesome. Maybe you'd like 'veruca salt' roman. I don't, but maybe you would. I did used to like 90's chick bands, in the 90's, can't remember hardly any of them though.
Alana Davis, Morley, Joan Osborne, Shania Twain, Celine Dion (her French language stuff is actually really nice), Shakira (ditto for her Spanish language stuff), No Doubt, Jonatha Brooke, the Indigo Girls, Fiona Apple, Luxx, Beth Orton, Leah Andreone, Gloria Estefan (Mi Tierra), Jann Arden, Lauren Christy, Concrete Blonde, Lisa Loeb (although she sounds even better now), Paula Cole, Sam Phillips, Candy Planet, Toni Childs, Alison Moyet, Shawn Colvin, Annie Lennox, Sade, Terri Nunn.
bratmobile, heavens to betsy, babes in toyland, L7. there are many more, just look to the riotgrrl movement of the early 90's and you will find multiple good bands.
Tsunami Bomb. The Distillers. The Devotchkas. Otep. Bah...i just realized half of those aren't 90's bands....oh well.
Goodness Carrie Akre, of Goodness and Hammerbox, is the best "chick" singer to come along among "90s bands". I never got around to Hammerbox during their original run, but saw Goodness a number of times, and there really was something special about it. Too bad it didn't catch on. (I am informed at this moment that I managed to miss two shows by Goodness last week. Absolutely f@cking tragic!) Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! Yes, I rock.

Another song I like, "Building a Mystery" by Sarah Mclachlan. As for Dido, yep, odd name, to me. I didn't even know who she was until I heard her with Eminem.
