It's not TOO hard to find a gigantic list of ALL female bands [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_all-female_bands]
Some of my favourite all-female or female fronted bands:
Epica
After Forever
Echoes of Eternity
Lacuna Coil
Lunatica
Kittie
They are all still making music (as far as I know) except After Forever, who unfortunately broke up just as I was starting to get into them. There's a few more I could name as well but I think you get the point.
They exist but I admit theres not half as many of them. If your issue is you want to listen to some female fronted/made music then search and find. If your issue is you want to start a band with a female then find one you jive with and try your luck. I'm not sure what else there is to say.

... you're saying they (the singers) do something else as well like The Beatles? Or are you saying that proper bands are big groups of instruments playing tunes by Glenn Miller and the like? If it's the first then I hate you for insulting Iron Maiden and if it's the second then I hate you for insulting The Beatles.Berethond said:
affirmative action even for music events? Bah.
There's actually quite a few all female ones I like. Youtube your way man, youtube your way.

It's the fucking mainstream. Mainstream [particularily hip hop] artists focus mainly on the singer - no, ONLY on the singer, and since women are typically affected by mass popularity, it's only natural that they would want to be the main focus of attention - like all the others. I know of a female metalhead, gamer, drummer, with that said.
Dude, i all of those bands are great. I never thought someone els would like pretty much the exact same music.Trivun said:
Mumford and sons is the best IMO out of those, i love the Irish influence and culture in their songs (they are English if you didnt know, not irish which is what many are led to beleive.). Too bad next to no one has heard of them here in the U.S.
I think that female-headed rockers are really coming out more lately. Off the top of my head I can name Halestorm and Eyes Set to Kill, and then there's bands like Paramore, Flyleaf and Evanescence that have been out for several years. I could even go back and name No Doubt, Heart, and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts.
For instrumentalists The White Stripe has a female drummer. Eyes Set to Kill has a female bass player, and their frontwomen plays lead guitar. Skillet has both a female drummer and female synth/keyboard/rhythm-guitarist.
In my opinion, there is always a spot for female rockers. Not only does everyone deserve the same rights if they make great music, a lot of heavier music is dominated by testosterone driven men (Five Finger Death Punch, I'm talking about you... but I'm not complaining) and a feminine voice is a great way to break that up. That being said, I want to point out that Archenemy doesn't really bring much to the table in terms of "feminine voice". That's not really my cup of tea...

... right... no. As somebody who enjoys opera a lot more than most other classical music I'd say I disagree. Are you referring to classical music? Or are you referring to weird random stuff that even crazy old people with dementia don't like. Examples are what I'm looking for I guess.Berethond said:
