One of the enduring mysteries I’ve encountered in my life is the phenomenon of why men don’t take female rock and pop musicians seriously.
Sorry, but absolute nonsense.
Among my favourite singers / bands / artists etc;
Siouxsie Sioux
Poly Styrene
Pauline Murray
Justine Frischmann
P.P. Arnold
Nico
Martha Reeves
Pauline Black
Jackie Abbott
P.J. Harvey
Janis Joplin
Timi Yuro
Brenda Holloway
Doris Troy
Hell, I could go on for ever.
My personal taste is rooted in Punk and Ska but has grown to be quite eclectic.
I can't ever recall anyone even considering disliking any piece of music solely due to the gender of the singer / artists etc.
And for the record I think U2 are good, seen them live a couple of times.
Bono does seem like a bit of pretentious knobhead but I've been reliably informed that he's really an alright sort of guy.
Some of U2's later stuff has been pretty mediocre....but their back catalogue is full of quality.
