That said, Bikini Kill never did much for me musically. There are other bands that got the riot grrrl tag that I like much more.

I've posted on some version of this board since 2001... I don't ever remember more than maybe two or three women ever posting here at any one time, and pretty much no women in the last 5 years or so. This board was pretty much always a bigger sausage-fest than even ALLcentral/the Dorkboard, whch is saying A LOT.

I thought you were done with this thread. Anyway, you comparing to Bikini fucking Kill to the Beatles and Ornette Coleman illustrates how far off the point you are. In case you missed this:

" 'Getting better at your instrument' doesn't necessarily mean getting a degree from a conservatory (though I think that kind of accomplishment is extremely worthwhile, and undervalued in punk). It also means busting your ass, mentally, and coming up with something unique and/or compelling with whatever skills you *do* have at your disposal. BK does none of this. They just flail away on a bunch of generic music with zero talent or ability and rely completely and utterly on schtick and exploitation of the market to cultivate their fanbase."

It's not about viruosity. But if you can't play your instrument in a technical sense, you have to have something else to take it's place. The Ramones, Wire, Sex Pistols, etc... all of them did new and creative things musically regardless of their abilities. Where punk goes to shit is when it insists that you should actively avoid learning any technical ability, as well as any song writing craft or any other musically artistic skill and simply rely on sloganeering and fashion to propel your band. That's where Bikini Kill sit, imo. Fucking garbage.

I can change my mind, right? It's something I thought of afterwards and just didn't have a chance to post until today. If you think I'm comparing Bikini Kill or any rock band to The Beatles or Ornette Coleman, either your reading comprehension is off or I should've put that in as a disclaimer to be 100% fair. Point is: I wasn't. And yes, I saw that response earlier. I just think it applies to groups like BK, Born Against, etc. as well as Wire, The Ramones, etc. (who I love as well).

I think we're gonna just have to agree to disagree on their musical ability or whatever, but I'll also say that asserting that Kathleen's looks helped them (which they surely did, as has been the case in the music industry forever both male/female artists, etc.) is one thing, but to state that it's the only reason they got popular is, well, not only sexist, but a bit ridiculous because (as you said) they were always about ideas/politics/identity/3rd-wave feminism, too.

First off, you 100% did compare BK to those two, whether you meant to or not, by implying there is even a thread of similarity between writing off bikini kill and the Beatles. If you don’t see that as a comparison of the two, then it’s you that has the comprehension problem.
To your second point, first off I don’t see how saying ‘her looks helped their success’ is not sexist while saying ‘it was all of their success’ is. I didn’t say the latter. But if I did, it wouldn’t be sexist. As you admit, good looks help in the industry. And that applies to both female and male. I don’t see how stating that obvious fact is anything other than stating an obvious fact. The success of Bush and Leif Garrett was based almost solely on their looks. There, I said it.
I also said, earlier, that BKs success was largely based on market exploitation with the riot grrrl gimmick and great marketing of the angry feminist schtick. So not *all* based on her looks. And you know I said that because you god damn just repeated it.

Well, I admit you had me until you used Debbie as a cudgel to tear down BK/Kathleen for no good reason. I'm sure she inspired them. The Go-Go's certainly did. Just listen to Reject All American.

All that said, I LOVE Blondie and the 1st 4 albums in particular. I'm especially partial to the debut, Parallel Lines, and Eat to the Beat, though there are great moments after that and on Plastic Letters, too. The first reunion album No Exit was quite good, too; the subsequent ones had diminishing returns, but even then had some bangers.

I think she's still an underrated vocalist and lyricist tbh and that Chris Stein back in the day was an underrated guitarist, too. Obviously, Clem is a monster on drums. I've been fortunate enough to see him play covers in a basement bar with an all-star ban as well as with Blondie a bunch of times, etc. I'm not taking anything away from Debbie here. They wouldn't have become as popular as they are without her, of course, but they really were a true band/collaboration from the onset between her and Chris and had lots of songwriting help from Jimmy (keyboards) and Nigel (bass), especially.

To connect these dots, though, I'll say that I can see a straight line between female pioneers of '70s punk like Patti Smith (another huge favorite of mine), Wayne/Jayne County, Debbie Harry, Poly Styrene (listen to her and then any Riot Grrl group), Pauline Murray, et al. and the '90s stuff.

I should've clarified that despite the constant comparisons, I never really thought that Kathleen sounded that much like Poly back then, but was definitely an influence in a lot of other ways, too, lyrically in particular. Also, re: the part I highlighted, I'm sure there are 90 billion other derivative/unoriginal bands more worthy of that title lol.

I agree, they have plenty of company there, no doubt.
