Two playlists above. The first one made via a mumsnet thread a good while ago.

Both brilliant.

Shakira - Hips Don't Lie

There's no Blondie.
Picture This ( active female desire, not passive object of male gaze)
One Way or Another (ditto)
Rip Her To Shreds (probably not even slightly feminist, still brilliant)
Well, Did You Evah ( duet with Iggy Pop, genius)

There, fixed it.

Can't believe no one's mentioned Hot Topic by Le Tigre! ( although the women mentioned are all American but hey)

@VeryQuaintIrene I remember seeing them on that 'Veronica 4 Rose' thing that Channel 4 had for lesbians on their first gay night? I was about 18 and thought they were the coolest thing ever, learned all the songs off the video.. god I feel old now!

GreenWhiteViolet · 08/07/2022 18:14

@TheMarzipanDildo I really love 'Gonna Be an Engineer'! It's a real bit of women's history for me - I was very young when I first heard it and my initial reaction was a shocked 'would she really get paid less just because she's a woman?' Such a powerful song - and educational in my case, too.

AutumnSquill · 08/07/2022 18:09

Patti Smith - Dancing Barefoot
Althea and Donna - Uptown Top Ranking

VeryQuaintIrene · 08/07/2022 18:00

@CompleteGinasaur Glad to know another fan. I've been listening to them a lot recently and they definitely deserve to move out of niche status!
