There is a band and girl named Lennon. People told me she was good, she opened for Daniel Ash a few years ago and she was horrible She sung about how depressed and lame her life (music) was. I saw a link to some of her pics and she's pretty damn busty. If she danced around and looked like she did in these pictures I could have endured her show better I maybe even would have given her a tip ;D

Yea, some people forget that they too can have other qualities than their rack. Using your breasts to gain audience is being no higher than a stripper. You're just "singing" to cover up the fact you're not taking your clothes off.

For the most part, that is true. Anyone remember Charlie Drown? If Roseland allowed me to re-enter the building, I would have left for a good half hour. I swear, the ONLY reason she wasn't booed off stage was because she was getting naked.

So on the flp-side, anyone know any female rockers who are pretty (not necessarily gifted in the chest area), and kick ass?

There's really not a whole hell of a lot. It's not their inability to sing, it the content of their music and/or the members surrounding them. While female vocalists tend to sound amazing, they just seem to be lacking in something else that would necessitate a "good band". I think the greatest example is Abby Travis. Her vocals are great, but have you heard her solo performance? (I used to have some of her MP3's back when MP3.com housed unknown artists) I wasn't too impressed.

What you're really saying here sounds dangerously close to, "female vocalists can't have ingenious musicianship." If you write women off this way; you miss out. I can't probably change your mind, if you really feel this way. Here's a list of some women artists/ bands that I believe defy this stereotype, anyway. P.J. Harvey, Lush, Cibo Matto, GO! GO! 7188, Danielle Dax, Chara, Shiina Ringo, Rasputina, Jarboe, Isobel Campbell, Jack Off Jill, Scarling, and Shonen Knife all rock-!! That's all I can think of off the top of my head. --lovelove

I'm just saying that a lot of them tend to fuck themselves when they chose lyrics/band members. That coupled with the fact that not many women try and get into the rock (Read as: Rock-n-roll in General and every genre of music it covers) music industry and it brings me to my point.

I’m not 100% sure what your point is here. Are you criticizing this woman for exploiting her looks because she’s lacking in talent or encouraging it? Either way you’ve hit a nerve with me on this thread, and I hope you won’t be angered if I speak my mind about it for a moment. Firstly, coming down on this woman like this coupled with the subject name of this thread implies that only female performers try to fortify a lack of talent with a nice body or a pretty face, or both. Guys do this too. Not that *gag* *vomit* *gag* any of these guys are my type, but what do you think really made Ricky Martin, The Backstreet Boys, or ‘N’ Sync popular? Yes, performers are expected to have an appearance, especially live. When people go to see a live; they don’t just come purely to hear the music. Yes, performers try to maximize their potential appeal by using their appearances to the best advantage. It’s not just women, or buxom women who do this. I really wish the whole issue of women’s breast size would go away,but it’s not going to. Women do get treated differently by men and each other because of the size of their breasts. I can’t speak for women at the other end of the spectrum, but for myself I can say; for years I hated my own body. I was in denial about my shape. I wore bras two sizes too small, baggy shirts, and rounded my shoulders. It’s taken me years to get more comfortable with myself; partially because of the way people look at you, the unwanted attention, and the presumptions. I might never have really gotten clued into what I was doing if I didn’t have my similarly built sisters to point things out to me. One of my sisters used to work at this snooty little cafe by NIU, and she told me one day after work that she was told by a female shift manager that her stretchy, tight-fitting turtleneck shirt didn’t fit the dress code. Luckily, my sister is quick witted, and mouthy. She pointed to one of the other girls working that day wearing the same shirt in a different color and said, “she’s wearing the same shirt as me. You’re just giving me a hard time because I’m not flat chested.” I’ve been dealing with the bias for half my life that the dimensions of my figure are an indication of promiscuity (Not that I’m a prude. I just found my the mate of my preference 13 years ago, and as long as he’s still around nobody else has a chance). It really gets old. I guess what I’m trying to say is, if this show was disappointing, I can relate to you on that. I saw Jewel open for Peter Murphy. That was a joy. >_< Whether this woman has talent or not, and the size of her breasts; they aren’t really related issues. As a person who’s been affected by the type of attitude being projected in this thread, I can say it does hurt. It hurts real, complete people who may or may not be DD, like me. I just hope you’ll think about it. --lovelove

The hippie in me holds a candle and admiration for Janis Joplin.
