Rock bands are predominantly male, so i think its just more out of lack of choice than quality. But I adore PJ Harvey (adore as in "obsess about"), and Charlotte Hatherley (adore as in *explodes in joy*), but almost all women exploit their sexuality in music, e.g the Subways (quote: "I only wear mini-skirts all the time for ventilation, hee hee"). But you have bands like Von Bondies and White Stripes (i know i know they shouldnt be that close together what with the restraining order and all) and Autolux where the women aren't distinguished as an opposite sex, but just as much a part of the band, and that works well.
Ha ha and anybody remember "Bitch Alert!!!!"...Priceless band!
