The Most Famous Female Fronted Rock Bands

Just as Kurt Cobain once wrote, “women are the only future in rock and roll” I totally agree with him because while growing up we listened to lots of girl groups like Spice Girls, Destiny’s Child and they didn’t play lots of instruments, and rock has always been looked at as a male genre.

Most bands were composed of a male lead singer like The Rolling stones, Breaking Benjamin, Led Zeppelin, but as time went on we saw female rock stars growing into the industry ranging from solo artists like Avril Lavinge.
