Following on from Women's football

I dislike women playing electric guitar.

They could have amazing skills but it does nothing for me.

Also, drums. And bass guitars. They're allowed keyboards and vocals and that's it.

I will allow them to have the odd acoustic guitar.

There is an exception to my rule Sheryl Crow looks cool with a guitar.

What is this? AWIMB misogyny day? I like women playing any instrument that they're good at. Especially Kristin Hersh and Tanya Donnelly. :bow:

:nod: It's a reaction to all the sillyness that's taking place lately.
I'm a rebel today sneaking in that bit of the train really cheered me up.

I will write a song about it later.

Nothing to do with misogny. It's just that women look wrong doing some things. By all means let them do those things, but that doesn't stop it jarring.

Very subjective to suggest that women look "wrong doing some things" imo. It's a sweeping generalisation which denies individuality.

Throwing Muses. One of the best bands ever. Opinion.

Not sure I ever heard a pop song as good as 'Not Too Soon' :bow:

I have seen both of them live. Donnelly twice.

****ing rubbish.

I'm not saying they can't be good, just that they look wrong. I've loved some bands with lady musicians - Prince's various bands, Velvet Underground, etc - it's just a visual thing.

Also, all-female bands are just all wrong. Hole, The Bangles, L7 - just...no.

I went determined not to like it. To be fair, Donnelly solo was better than Belly. Throwing Muses was just not very good.

Having to drive a three hour round trip without a pint didn't help :(

See, I don't think it is wrong. It just so happens that they are all ****.

Fleetwood Mac were better before the ladies joined.

This is why Garbage worked. If she had a bunch of female musicians I'd have ignored them completely.
