Popular Western Girl Bands Ranking [2025] (1–10)
Fairytale in the SupermarketThe Raincoats1rank/position
This is the landmark debut single by The Raincoats, a post-punk band formed in London.
They’re known for having been passionately championed by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, and some of you may recall the track being used in the film “20th Century Women.” The deliberately rough, precarious playing and the violin’s distinctive, floating timbre leave a strong impression.
Set in a supermarket—the symbol of the everyday—the song declares, “No one teaches you how to live.” The earnest feeling of groping through a life with no set path comes through clearly, carried straight to the heart by the raw, unpolished sound.
I Need You To Love MeBarlowGirl2rank/position
BarlowGirl is a rock band from the United States.
As a Christian band that sings about love for God, this song also features a sound filled with transparent gentleness and strength.
“I Need You To Love Me” was released as a single in 2006.
Bruise VioletBabes In Toyland3rank/position
Babes in Toyland is a rock band from the United States.
Despite her platinum-blonde, cute Lolita-style fashion, vocalist Kat Bjelland leaves a powerful impression with her eyes rolled back as she shouts.
Their sound, like hard rock infused with punk, packs a punch and has a biting edge.

Its uplifting sound and collaboration with hardcore female artists invite you into a glittering world and deliver a powerful boost.

They reached No.
2 in the U.
S.
in 1986.
When you think of girl bands that brightened the mid-to-late ’80s, it’s The Bangles.
The band is memorable for the cute vocals of Susanna Hoffs—the beauty who wielded a Rickenbacker guitar favored by John Lennon—and a favorite of Prince, who also wrote this song.
Musically, the Peterson sisters provided solid support, and they were first-rate as a rock band, with tight performances.
They went on to release numerous hits and are often cited not just as an emblematic ’80s act, but as one of the most successful girl bands in history.
Film MusicElectrelane6rank/position
Electrelane is a British post-rock band with a strong experimental edge.
They are primarily an instrumental band with a unique worldview.
They debuted in 2000 with this single, and despite their distinctive musical style, they have continued to receive high acclaim and have become a popular band.
Cherry BombThe Runaways7rank/position
The Runaways are a rock band from the United States, composed entirely of female members, and they drew attention for having an average age of 16 at the time of their debut.
Their song “Cherry Bomb,” released as a single from their first album The Runaways, is a rock tune that could be called the band’s signature.
The old-school guitar solo, though brief, blends seamlessly into the track and tightens the ensemble.
Punkish yet sexy, it’s an immortal classic.
