13. L7, Genre (Grunge/Punk Rock/Riot Grrrl) California USA, era 90's
There are a lot of female punk bands out there, and these days they tend to fall into extreme musical categories like crust & grindcore, but for me the queens of punk will always be the girls from California's sleazy sunset strip. Early British fronted punk bands like siouxsie and the banshees were great, but they are more like alternative rock bands by today's standards. It wasn't really until the Riot Grrrl movement of the 90's that straight up female led punk rock came to the forefront, and in my opinion L7 represented the best of the lot.
