It's saturday have some fun. The Go-Go's are #1 according to this list, but Bananarama, #4 on the list, epitomized the 80's.

An honorable mention to the Go-Go's, they played their own instruments.

Mods pull if too controversial.

Girlschool is still around. Denise was a good friend of Lemmy. I’m a good friend of her brother. They are all friends together with Venom and have played together.

An honorable mention to the Go-Go's, they played their own instruments.

They also wrote their own songs. They remain the only all-female band with a Billboard #1 album where they played all their instruments and wrote all the music.

No other all-female band has ever done this.

I was dismissive of the Go Go's as a teen in the 80s but I recently revisited their first three albums and found them to be excellent.

Interesting list, but over half of those bands I have never heard of. There is probably a reason for that too.

Not strictly all girl, but Heart was pretty good.

Disagree with Heart being a girl band.....Although they were the “heart” of the band (no pun intended) they were but 2 females IN the band.

Talent wise, more than likely head and shoulders above the rest.

12. The Carpenters

Is a brother & sister duo considered a girl group?

Well, maybe with that haircut.

14. Divinyls

I was just thinking about them...

New York Dolls - oh, wait, sorry; I guess I’m using 2020’s criteria for “gender”.

I think this list is intended to be controversial. (The Carpenters!) Or it was written by a robot.
