Unlike all the other girl punk playlists, this one will not include Bikini Kill/Hole/The Runaways, because they are not the only women in punk to ever exist, and nobody else gets any recognition. Punk was always a guy's sport, and before the 90's, women were either incredibly praised or incredibly despised. If you were pretty you were set, you don't even have to be a good musician. That's how it still is though. Just be a good face to a brand and you don't even have to know how to sing. Besides the point, women in punk!
1.) Axeman - Heavens To Betsy ( Woo Hoo! High school problems! )
2.) My Spit - Calamity Jane ( THEY'RE SO ANGRY! )
3.) My Friend Goo - Sonic Youth ( While they're not an all female band, and while I do prefer Thurston Moore's voice, I think she was the ultimate "girl in the band" in fact I think that's what she named her book. )
4.) And I Live In A Town Where The Boys Amputate Their Hearts - Bratmobile ( Fall Out Boy song titles who? )
5.) Oh Yeah! - Babes In Toyland
