Aren't we forgetting PJ Harvey, Tori Amos, Courtney Love, ( and before yiz all start, she had a band before she met Kurt ), Kate Bush, Chrissie Hynde, Melissa Auf Der Maur, and my own personal favourite, the very wonderful Aimee Mann.

Oh, and just to bring this back on topic, the release of class albums by the likes of Ten Speed Racer, Turn, and the Future Kings of Spain would suggest to me that the Dublin scene is alive and kicking.

All worth mentioning John...but i'm just pointing out that it seems that comparatively there are way less noted female musicians then male, particularly fronting bands

Ehh, maybe I was under a rock for the last decade but wasn't the biggest rock band to come out of Ireland in recent years fronted by a woman, a woman who has major problems hiring decent nannies ?

Well, I have always been partial to their cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'Go Your Own Way' but then I am a little sick and twisted. On a more serious note, there are a number of female rockers you are forgetting... Joan Osbourne (pretty sexy too) Terri Clark Margo Timmins (Cowboy Junkies) Sheryl Crow Bonnie Raitt (taught slide guitar by the Great Willie Dixon) Alanis Morisette Ani DiFranco I think the above are all considered to be serious artists. By the way, apart from being a rockin' guitarist, Suzi Quatro is also a champion clay pigeon shooter.
