I don`t know why you mentioned the Wilson sisters in this debate, these were clearly female rocksters who fronted a rock band much like Joan Jett and Pat Benatar etc.

The Spice Girls were big here in the states also if my memory serves correct, I just never did personally give them any notice.
The reason I mentioned Heart was because I originally took it for granted that the main subject concerned "Woman that paved the way for other female artist within the music industry". I didn't realize at the time the debate subject was "manufactured girl bands".
Thanks for the explanation Soldier, I really do appreciate it! my friend.
