Okay, so by now we've established my firm and solid obsession with hard rock and heavy alternative bands. Too often, however, we forget the women who make up these genres as well.. and I must say, most of the artists listed below out-shine many of the male bands out there. Below, I have compiled a list of my absolute favorites, not necessarily ranked by taste (althought I did put Sarah and Fiona as my first two for a reason!), but mostly randomly. I've searched the internet and found the best sites representing these artists and listed them. Then I went and included some "Must Haves" from each artist, in case you just wanted a taste of her music to decided if you like her or not. Also provided is a description or recollection of how I came across each one. I sincerely hope ya enjoy my choices!!
