As you all have impeccable taste I need some help.....in a few months (23 April to be exact) all being well
I will become a dad for the first time and whats more that little bundle of joy will most likely be a girl!
Now, as music is an important part of her parents' lives it is sure to be a big part of hers and as such I
feel like I need to expose her to as many different brilliant people as I can. However, my record collection
is very male-orientated and I want to build up the other side so she knows growing up that girls can rock
just as well and as hard as boys! Genre etc doesn't matter.
Below are the female-led artists/bands that feature in my collection (basically what's on my ipod) so I'm after more. Inspire me and my girl Unified Scene!
Joni Mitchell
Sleater-Kinney
Waxahatchee
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Haim
Warpaint
Hole
The Breeders
Patty Griffin
Jenny Lewis (and Rilo Kiley)
Kathleen Edwards
Bat for Lashes
Lana Del Ray
Sia
Patti Smith
Blondie
The Pretenders
Bikini Kill
Garbage
L7
(There might be others I have missed but that is a decent sample)

Not really rockin hard, but Sia's stuff with Zero 7 is worth a listen (esp. The Garden).
If you're going down the road of female vocals, you could go way back and include some Billy Holiday or Janis Joplin.

I can't believe I didn't think of Regina Spektor...especially as we've been watching Orange is the New Black and she does the theme tune!
