Below is Indie's yes.com top 100

I like bands that have female singers, Indie only has 1 female fronted band that I can tell in the top 20 (Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Then they have The Dresden Dolls @ 23 & Morningwood at 26 (Morningwood is horrible by the way, all they have going for them is a catchy name) Then they have another female fronted band at #29 The Sounds, then at #30, Death Cab for Cutie. They do have 4 in a row from 39 to 43. Then at 46 they have Ladytron which should be higher. And don't go and say there aren't any good female fronted bands or singers out there. That's not true.

Tom...to be super effective with your lists...you need a few WONDEROUS and FANTABULOUS (s) mixed in with some ass kissing of the dee jays....just a helpful hint....

I like that girls voice from "Giant Drag"....didn't see mention....
...shloemoe's $.02.

Indie doesn't think they are worthy of a Top 100 slot, I didn't see The Like in there either

Ah... if only Mich had balls huh Gidge?

Well Shloe....to be honest....I'd rather pop her in the mouth...I find that part of her anatomy much more offensive......

LISTS....
i thought i had them on ignore mode...
damn...
here is one for you:

fabulous cheese
ever so effective tampons
perfectly formed eggs
guacamole doritos that are to die for
fresca (now if that aint punk i dont know what is?!)
devastatingly delicious berry dr pepper
wonderous milk

and did i mention that i think mr shovel is the BEST damn INDIE man on the PLANET!!!

the point is Indie just plays music sung by males, they need to play the chicks more, much more

Don't forget red shoes that show your toes, Jilly....and putting the top down on your HARD top VW (they don't do that yet)....can't forget that fantabulous invention....

they all sound like chipamunks
though...
HAHAHAH
tom, i can let you borrow my blohan cd ... but ya gotta return it.
lol

"fresca (now if that aint punk i dont know what is?!) "

that was President Johnsons favorite drink...he had a machine installed
in the whitehouse to dispense it.....can that be ultra punk in light of this?

Im mean Im just saying.....Oh yeah Duh I've forgotten what fresca
even tastes like so....what do I know(that's usefull)that was my $.04

thanks SHLOE you just proved my point....

I'll pass on the offer. I mean they could play Metric, Broken Social Scene, Bitter:Sweet, Raveonettes, Rilo Kiley, Neko Case, and on and on

.....and.....Tegan and Sarah....ack......

they could, but why put an 11th song in the rotation
when 10 work so well...

Heaven forefend....

forgot about them thanks for the reminder. I heard them playing that at a Dodger game before Saenz came up. "walking with a ghost", "out of my mind", "out of my mind"

don't forget to cruise over tohttp://www.teganandsara.com/index.php
and pre-order your DVD that's coming out this summer!!!

LOL.....ack....this time you can blame me.....LOL

Yeah, thanks Gidge. Tom hadn't mentioned Tegan & Sara for at least a month.
But I agree with him. Indie needs to play more chick artists. They play at least 3 times as many guys or guy-fronted bands. At home, I probably listen to male & female artists about even. Of course, aside from a few exceptions, the guy bands rock harder than the chick bands. I like to hear the ladies sing purty.

My three favorite women singers of all time:

1. Alison Moyet

2. Billy Holiday

3. Janis Joplin

honorable mentions:

Polyene Styrine...Deborah Harry.....Chrissie Hynde......

All right I was gonna do this, but me and mister guy were feeling a little
shy...didn't want to seem too listy...considering todays movie...K here's
my list of all time fav female voices....hhmm

1 Ann Wilson(was gonna marry her someday...then WoW!)
2 Joan jett
3 The chick from concrete blond(Johnette Napolitano)
4 Linda Perry

and most honorable mention(in no particular order)
Deborah Harry.....Chrissie Hynde......Judy Garland..and I'll throw
in a Billie Holiday(for the class ya know)Oh yeah fiona apple is cool
hm...I like allainis Moresett(sp?)

My 1st List....Geee...now that I think about it(shloemoe slow)there's
so many that making a ranked list is kinda dumb(for me!!!...Gidge...
for me!!!... to make a list, not dumb for you!)Or Mich

linda ronstadt
janis joplin
chrissie hynde
doris day
natalie merchant
tori amos
the lickettes

i love em... yes i do, yes i do
but i fink most of the girls today all sound alike..
maybe i need to listen more

good topic!!

Oh man!!!...I left out Natalie Merchant and Linda Ronstadt(stupid!...stupid!)

The teen pop girls do all sound the same. I cant tell the difference...but
I dont really listen to them.

There was just something in the air today that told me to make a list, Shloe.....I see that it was catching.....

There's so many and the order of preference changes constantly so I'll just list them alphabetically - Alison Krauss, Amy Lee (Evanescence), Billie Holiday, Bonnie Raitt, Casandra Wilson, Chrissie Hynde, Debbie Harry, Ella Fitzgerald, Grace Slick, Janis Ian, Jenny Lewis (Rilo Kiley), Kimberlina (Kimberly Trip), Loreena McKennitt, Lucy Kaplansky, Patsy Cline, Siouxsie Sioux, Stevie Nicks & Teresa James + a brand new favorite from Myspace, Carolyn Currie. I know, lotsa blues & folk but like I said - I like the ladies to sing purty to me.

Ooo Oooo Ooooo....Etta James too....

Dang I left out...

Bonnie Raitt
Grace Slick
Patsy Cline
...I frigin hate Stevie Nicks(not with mac though)I think that
South Park episode were she was undistingishable from a
billy goat is so funny....and true

...from my list...I feel more complete...thanx

stevie nicks is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me

unless it's with the mac

SID SID....I LOOK LIKE STEVIE NICKS!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaaahhhhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....~breath~ Aaaaaaaahhhahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..~breath~ Aaaaaahhhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.....

gawd, I'd punch someone out if they said that to me

LOL....she actually said it about herself.....cracks me up everytime I see that movie....

oh ....in a movie...glad ya said something cause it seems like that
stuff is always going over my head.....now...uh....what movie?

Sid and Nancy.....

of course...I should've known.

Some people hate the movie....I love it.....it's a MOVIE....not a documentary....and I think that Gary Oldman did a great job...


Ever read the book, And I Don't Want to Live this Life, by Nancy Spungons's mother...Debbie? It was a wonderful glimpse into the man that lived behind the Sid mask.....

I always liked his(Sid) version of "my way"....seems like he personified
the whole punk thing to me....more so than say...oh god...dare I say
it....I haven't spewed my beliefs on this since the old JJB blog days
....than say....let's just say "another sex pistol" who sells Toyotas
.....AND has an EXCELLANT! radio show.....anyway enough blowing
up icons today.

~scratching my head~

whoooooo is shloe talkin about now?

He's got connections...I musn't squeek louder than a mouse

squeek...weed....squeek....weed....squeek....etc....

I think that Sid is what we all think of...first off...out of the gate...when thinking of punk...he was and is the proto type for all that has come since...IMHO....no slight to the radeeeio dj in question....

Just passing this along :-)
http://www.mitchclem.com/nothingnice/in ... rdset2=210

.. and no i cannot get links to work .. sorry.


and then it works when you dont use the [url] enclosure. aaarrrrggghhh !!!

That's funny!.....that's why the gods of punk ordained an early demise for
Sid...and I dont mean to be disrespectful of Mr. Jones(I've learned alot
from him and his learned life)in the end he will leave a more valuable
legacy than Sid...for sure....but still I remember the days of youth when
death could not be proud....there was nothing we were afraid of....
now We(I at least)gotta give up drugs,breaking the law,generally being
insane(oh the fun!)....(oh the pain though too)what am I trying to say
(shloemoe stutters like a spaz and says)"why dont ya all fade away,
and dont try to dig what we all say"

...oh god have ya seen the time life info-mercials with rodger daltry
selling cd's?

Hope I die before I get old....I can't say that anymore........

Hell yeah, Etta James. Seen her twice. Awesome. Seen Tracy Chapman & Rosanne Cash a couple times too so I guess I better add them too. OK, I'm done.

Etta's playing the Doheny Blues festival this year - May 20, and BB King is the headliner on the 21'st. That's my neck of the woods - a $10 cab ride!
