Angry Chick Music - Got Any Suggestions?

[Witchy_Dem]

Looking to increase my already nice-sized collection.

[x-g.o.p.er]

1. Alannis Morrisette is essential

'Jagged Little Pill' is about as Angry Chick as you can get.

Next to Doris Day, of course.

[Witchy_Dem]

3. Got her, thanks.

I was listening to her when I posted.

[Taverner]

6. You Oughta Know fits the bill perfectly

[rug]

2. Bad Reputation

[tigereye]

16. L7 of course - or the Donnas...

they might kick your ass for calling them chicks, too. :D

[Witchy_Dem]

21. Might be I need an ass kicking.

At this point it's highly likely.

[Chan790]

69. I'd add LA post-punk latin-influenced riot-grrl band Go Betty Go to that list...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFfMm5Lpy7Q

Also and more importantly, I'd add Bikini Kill.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwh7iilWrp0

[tigereye]

89. good point, I was thinking of Bikini Kill

What's Kathleen Hanna up to these days?

[Chan790]

104. Le Tigre...on hiatus. Also, she's a professor at NYU and a music educator.

According to the Wikipedia...teaching and band coach for "The Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls" since Le Tigre went on hiatus last year. She also taught an art class at NYU's grad school in the Fall 2007 semester.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

17. Cibo Matto's Miho Hattori in the spin-off group "Butter 08"...

...and the song "Butterfucker."



You can listen to the whole song (and the whole album) for free on Rhapsody:

http://www.rhapsody.com/butter-08/butter-08

Do the local disco
Butterfuck emotion
(C'mon over)
Do the local mambo
Butterfuck emotion
(Butter nation)

Hey
It's not abominable, it's subordination
(Do the local disco, butterfuck emotion)
And Mickey Mouse is just a little station
(Do the local mambo, butterfuck emotion)
So what's your line, what's your situation?
(Do the local cha-cha, butterfuck emotion)
You think it's real, but it's just a nation
(You have a bitter, butterfucking day now)

You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it now
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it now
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it now
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it now

(Butterfucker)

(Butter)

Butterfucker, no better
Why should I get it now?
Butterfucker, no better
Why should I get it now?
Butterfucker, no better
Why should I get it now?
Butterfucker, butterfucker, butterfucker

You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it now (butterfucker)
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it now (butterfucker)
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it now (butterfucker)
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it now (butterfucker)

[Witchy_Dem]

Great suggestion, thanks!

[Mike 03]

29. Yes: Alison Moyet: Hoodoo

This is the most amazing "Angy Chick" album ever.

It's not just filled with rightous indignation, psychogical regurgitation and crowing like Morrisette, but it's actually art.

It's absolutely amazing. My sister told me about it.

[Witchy_Dem]

[prayin4rain]

54. Bikini Kill, Hole, 7 Year Bitch.... some Sonic Youth songs that she

[Witchy_Dem]

56. I have a *ton* of female singers so I don't mind the suggestions.

Looking for angry didn't mean I wouldn't take happy! lol

[Common Sense Party]

58. Headpins.

If you like 1980s hard rock, that is.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C0ZDAc5ga4

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6Kf3sGhbak

[Witchy_Dem]

[Jamastiene]

84. Both Courtney Love and Linda Perry have put out solo albums.

Courtney Love has another one due out this year too.

67. Did not have, adding now! Thanks.

[Ivan Sputnik]

74. Marianne Faithfull's "Broken English" album

has a lot of angry tracks, including "Why'd Ya Do It", "Working Class Hero", and the title track. It's a classic.

[hobbit709]

86. Great album!

[mitchum]

113. That is one of the great "post punk" records...

proved that she was FAR MORE than a rock star's ex girlfriend

Fantastic "Ballad Of Lcy Jordan" also

[suninvited]

65. Do they have to be angry?

If you just want chick music, might I suggest Indigo Girls.

Great chick music.

[Witchy_Dem]

66. Not angry anymore. I have Indigo Girls. They are guuud aren't they?

Angry was suitable before we sent out the legal paperwork. Now I feel much better!!

[GOPisEvil]

68. All these replies and no Sleater-Kinney (at least in subjects)?

Their earlier stuff is angrier, but it's all good.

[Witchy_Dem]

70. I added them already in a response.

[kwassa]

71. Me'Shell NdegéOcello

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0ov9082a1c

[Fire Walk With Me]

72. Front 242 did one album with a female singer with mixed results

no pun intended:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTNrbxee49I

[Maestro]

73. Angry? How about Otep?

Or perhaps Arch Enemy, In This Moment, Straight Line Stitch, Kittie.

In a totally different genre, Lucinda Williams can be down right mean with some of her lyrics.

[Tom Kitten]

75. Frightwig

The first all angry chick band...Their first album,"Cat Farm Faboo" is a classic! The second, "Faster Frightwig, Kill, Kill!" is also good... ...I saw them open for L7 but unfortunately they were well past their prime...you can download the long OOP album here- http://tooshortalife.blogspot.com/2009/02/frightwig-cat-farm-faboo-lp-1984.html

I also definitely recommend for the hard rock side of stuff The Gits and Betty Blowtorch...

For quite witty and folky battle between the sexes stuff, try Uncle Bonsai, a Seattle group from the 80s!

http://idlemindsinc.blogspot.com/2009/02/essential-uncle-bonsai.html

[Urban Prairie]

76. Carly Simon Classic

You're So Vain:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B7bVD_DkM4

[Urban Prairie]

77. Lucinda Williams?

Never listened to her music, but I read that her songs include a lot of broken relationship music.

[nadine_mn]

79. Can't believe no has said Beth Hart

Dear god that is some awesome fricking angry music

[Fire Walk With Me]

80. Diamanda Galas.

Why do things half-way?

[Tuvok Obama]

81. Tracy Bonham...

The Burdens of Being Upright

1996

"Mother Mother"
"Navy Bean"
"Tell It to the Sky"
"Kisses"
"Brain Crack"
"The One"
"One Hit Wonder"
"Sharks Can't Sleep"
"Bulldog"
"Every Breath"
"30 Seconds"
"The Real"

[Political Heretic]

82. Arch Enemy :)

Lead singer... scariest angriest chick around.

[MajorChode]

83. You can't forget the 80's era stuff

Ann Wilson

Joan Jett

Pat Benatar

Chrissie Hynde

Lita Ford

Johnette Napolitano

Debbie Harry

Patty Smyth

[argyl]

85. Neko Case. She's not really that angry,but if you enjoy female singer/songwriters she's essential.

Her lyrics are haunting,introspective,and as a vocalist she's fearless. She pushes the edge with her formidable vocal talent.

She also surrounds herself with very talented musicians,either on tour or in the studio.

[stuntcat]

100. Neko Case can BELT

I'm here to testify :headbang:

[Resuscitated Ethics]

87. Lucinda Williams "Greenville" from Car Wheels on a Gravel Road

"Don't wanna see you again or hold your hand
Cause you don't really love me you're not my man
You're not my man oh you're not my man
Go back to Greenville just go on back to Greenville
You scream and shout and you make a scene
When you open your mouth you never say what you mean
Say what you mean oh say what you mean
Go back to Greenville just go on back to Greenville"

Lucinda is a oner and a lulu. I love her even through her brittle LA period.

[AngryAmish]

88. Sleater-Kinney

[old mark]

91. JOAN JETT! She is great, wrote and played some really tough music

and she is still out there playing.
"Bad Reputation" should make you smile.
She wrote it after being rejected by every major label, then forming her own label and taking her first release all the way up.
There is a lot of good stuff by Joan on youtube....

I'm a fan.

mark

[LanternWaste]

92. 'Cherry Bomb' by the Runaways...

'Cherry Bomb' by the Runaways recorded in '76 or '77 (which later morphed into Joan Jett and the Blackhearts).

Just a suggestion-- it's pretty darned angry :)

[Deep13]

93. Sheryl Crow's 1996 record. nt

[Dangerously Amused]

I'm getting good ideas here, too.

:hi:

[Witchy_Dem]

102. I agree thank you everyone! I have increased my must-haves considerably.

They couldn't get any angrier than her.

[bif]

96. Garbage

[gmoney]

99. Yes...

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

[nickgutierrez]

97. Sons and Daughters

http://www.imeem.com/dominorecords/music/n0eLS9IJ/sons_daughters_the_nest/

That's a pretty good one, but they have better.

[tekisui]

98. Dar Williams, Lucinda Williams. Two of the best!

[dembotoz]

101. kathleen edwards--hockey skates

[GoddessOfGuinness]

105. Peggy Seeger: Period Pieces

Yeah, that kind of period.

I don't know if I'd call it angry...Just PMSy. :hi:
