Hear Me Out: Women Large & In Charge!

Women tend to be the silent voices in this male dominated music industry so girl bands/groups and female fronted bands always excite me.  It's like yeaaa we rock and we're proud and I just love that. So, I'd like to share with you some of my favorite female bands as well as my favorite female fronted bands of the moment.  These women are the definition of fierce. Oww owww!
Who are your favorite female fronted or all-female bands?
