total flip flop on the current mood of the thread but this is the only all women band i can think of off the top of my head that kind of runs counter to pretty much all the stereotypes.

they're not cool with embedding this video but whatever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H4sq7OtC9M <- Under Your Skin by Luscious Jackson.
i doubt whether or not she can sing is beyond the point. singing in death metal = you lose your death metal cred (most of the time).

i agree with the post you made earlier, though. although, i think at this point most women trying to make a name for themselves choose to go the skanky route. but, as arch enemy show they don't necessarily have to.
