It was almost a girl-indie-rock supergroup, consisting of Kim Deal (The Pixies), Tanya Donnely (Throwing Muses), Josephine Wiggs (Perfect Disaster), and Carrie Bradley (Ed’s Redeeming Qualities). Yes, I did in fact do that off the top of my head. Although the band would later include male members, it has always clearly been Kim’s band. They have a beautiful sense of melody and harmony, with a harder edge, like the Pixies, though I feel the Pixies were not quite as adept at performing in this way. I saw them this spring, and they still are an amazing live band. Pod, their first record, and later the grunge classic Last Splash, are among two of my favorite records of all time. And you know what else? A certain Mr. Kurt Cobain agrees with me. He has called Pod one of his all-time favorites. We are in accord.

I was reminded how much I liked their girl group take on 70’s streamlined pop and went home to listen to listen to “Cherry Bomb”. So my favorite is definitely The Runaways.

Runner-up: Mystery from the movie SATISFACTION (title changed to “Girls Of Summer” for its TV airing oddly enough.
