Australian radio station Triple J just finished their much acclaimed countdown of the "hottest" singles of the last 20 years. The song Wonderwall, by Oasis, won first place. But feminist writer and activist Karen Pickering wrote a blog entry bemoaning the lack of female-fronted bands on the list, and suggested a few of her own – underlining the fact that their absence wasn't due to a lack of women in music. She lists, among others:

PJ Harvey, Bjork, Hole, L7, Veruca Salt, The Breeders, Bikini Kill, Belly, Elastica, Garbage, The Cranberries, Tuscadero, Babes in Toyland, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Sleater Kinney, Le Tigre, Mazzy Star, Throwing Muses, Lush, Concrete Blonde, Transvision Vamp, No Doubt, Magic Dirt, The Divinyls, Portishead, Belly, Sneaker Pimps, Frente, Lush, Liz Phair, Michelle Shocked, Tracy Chapman, Yeasty Girls,Catatonia, Natalie Merchant, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Patti Smith, Yo La Tengo, Sinead O'Connor, KD Lang, Cowboy Junkies, Cocteau Twins, Wild Flag, Martha Wainwright, Janelle Monae, Camille, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Cat Power, Missy Higgins, Clare Bowditch, The Waifs, Blondie, Peaches, Chicks on Speed, Biftek, Metric, The Dixie Chicks, Paramore, The Pretenders, Rilo Kiley, Lucinda Williams, Sugarcubes, The Lunachicks, The Donnas, The Spazzys, The Gossip, The Slits, Keren Ann

Did you listen to Triple J's countdown? Do you agree with Pickering, and if so, who do you think should have made the cut?
