If the designers of Rock Band are looking for more good rock songs with female vocalists they may want to check out this video of a great Australian rock band in the 1980's. The Divinyls, I'm not sure how big they got in the United States but they are probably best remembered for the song "I Touch Myself." This is the video to an extremely good song called "Boys in Town" which I think would suit the game very well and will be a good one to get the girls singing while you wail on the axe or pound the drums.
The stunning Chrissie Amphlett is the lead singer with a very good guitarist in Mark McEntee. Let me know what you think. I have included the provocative film clip to "I Touch Myself" for those who may not be familiar with it.

P.S. I'm not completely sure this is the right section to post this, If it isn't forgive me for been such a noob.

check out uneXpect, they're amazing, but i don't think they would fit into rock band with the piano and violin playing involved.

here's a live video of Desert Urbania

Amazing is right Revolver, That was crazy man. I enjoyed it immensely. What would you call it, Goth Metal? Whatever it is it's pretty wild.

Great drums and good guitar with plenty of interesting fills for both.

The only female vocalists I like are the singers from Heart, and the lead singer from Jefferson Airplane.

Probably my favourite Joan Jett song.

Sonic Youth, X, Hole, The Sounds, Jefferson Airplane, Girlschool. All great bands with female vocalists.

I'd be surprised if we didn't get any Joan Jett, Blondie, or Jefferson Airplane. Those were some of the best female rock vocalists ever. Its a shame that there haven't been any in recent years. (Unless I'm forgetting someone).
