1	Fontanelle (1992) more music like this by Babes in Toyland Babes in Toyland's most focused and powerful statement, Fontanelle was vaguely associated with grunge upon its release, and tossed in with the Pacific Northwest-centered riot grrrl movement after the fact. In truth, it lies somewhere in between, its raw punkish fury and metallic grind making it the spiritual kin of L7. Fontanelle isn't necessarily ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $9.20!
2	Live Through This (1994) more music like this by Hole Courtney Love completely revamped Hole before recording their second album, keeping only Eric Erlandson in the lineup. That is one of the reasons why Live Through This sounds so shockingly different from Pretty on the Inside, but the real reason is Love's desire to compete in the same commercial alternative rock arena as her husband, Kurt Cobain. ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $6.50!
3	Bricks Are Heavy (1992) more music like this by L7 Though they hailed from sunny L.A., L7 became the poster girls for grunge in 1992, with the meteoric success of their third album, Bricks Are Heavy. While their previous efforts had sounded sloppy and uneven, Nevermind producer Butch Vig helped the girls obtain a tight, compact sound on Bricks, pushing them to focus on their songwriting to boot. ... see all copies from $6.40! new only from $10.71!
4	Dig Me Out (1997) more music like this by Sleater-Kinney Having reinvented the girl-punk wheel with Call the Doctor, Sleater-Kinney continues to expand the boundaries of the form with the stunning Dig Me Out. Leaner and more intricate than its predecessor, the record is remarkably confident and mature; instead of succumbing to the pressures of "next big thing" status, the trio finds vindication in all ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $9.56!
5	The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum (1997) more music like this by L7 see all copies from $2.98! new only from $13.09!
6	Pretty on the Inside (1991) more music like this by Hole With the assistance of producers Kim Gordon and Don Fleming, Hole recorded a brutally uncompromising debut with Pretty on the Inside. The jagged white noise and buzzing guitars articulate Courtney Love's pent-up rage as well as her lyrics, and while that might make the album difficult to absorb in one sitting, it also makes it a singular ... see all copies from $3.86! new only from $13.31!
7	Hungry for Stink (1994) more music like this by L7 While L7 sounds tremendous on Hungry for Stink, the band has neglected to write any songs. But when you're caught in the middle of a massive guitar grind this good, songs don't matter much. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $7.95!
8	Reject All American (1996) more music like this by Bikini Kill see all copies from $3.99! new only from $10.70!
9	All Hands on the Bad One (2000) more music like this by Sleater-Kinney Sleater-Kinney switched gears on their follow-up to the challenging, introspective The Hot Rock, delivering their brightest, most accessible album to date with All Hands on the Bad One. That's partly due to a renewed assurance in craft -- the arrangements here are the most refined of the group's career, and their performances the most polished. ... see all copies from $3.94! new only from $8.55!
10	America's Sweetheart (2004) more music like this by Courtney Love Courtney Love's greatest skill is selling a myth, or more accurately, self-myth, the illusion that she is an important rocker, the face and voice of a generation. Since she gives great interview, she was a media sensation even before she vaulted to stardom after the suicide of her husband Kurt Cobain in 1994, but after his death, it was as if she ... see all copies from $2.98! new only from $4.50!
11 view cover	One Beat (2002) more music like this by Sleater-Kinney Having consolidated their strengths with All Hands on the Bad One, Sleater-Kinney revived the ambition of The Hot Rock on their sixth album, One Beat. John Goodmanson gives the group its cleanest-sounding production to date, which brings out all the new trappings in the ever more sophisticated arrangements. "Step Aside" boasts trumpet and sax, ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $13.95!
12 view cover	Movement (2003) more music like this by The Gossip Picking up where Arkansas Heat left off, on Movement the Gossip blazes through another ferocious set of bluesy garage rock steeped in lust and betrayal, both of which are exemplified in the truly stunning opener, "Nite." The simplicity and power of Kathy's drumming and Nathan's guitar work provide the perfect foil for Beth Ditto's gut-wrenching ... see all copies from $10.74! new only from $10.74!
13 view cover	Smell the Magic (1991) more music like this by L7 On 1991's Smell the Magic, L7 begins to find the sense of melody to complement its distorted punk guitar assault. The band deserves ultimate praise for writing from a completely female perspective at all times, and the fabulous "Fast and Frightening" just might be the ultimate "riot grrrl" anthem. "Shove" pleads the case for mosh pit etiquette, ... see all copies from $8.34! new only from $8.34!
14 view cover	The Hot Rock (1999) more music like this by Sleater-Kinney Expectations for Sleater-Kinney's fourth album were stratospheric, with the raging, tuneful feminist catharsis of Call the Doctor and Dig Me Out having garnered near-universal critical raves and outlandish media hype. Afraid of falling into a predictable rut, though, the band bravely pushed its range of expression into more personal, subdued, and ... see all copies from $10.01! new only from $10.01!
15 view cover	Girls Get Busy (2002) more music like this by Bratmobile Reunited for 2000's Ladies, Women, and Girls, Bratmobile returns with a new collection of songs to raise the consciousness and spirits of the nation's concert-going populace. Their surf-guitar leads and crisp punk rock beats are as strong as ever, but on this album they've chosen to augment the sound with keyboards and the occasional bass guitar. ... see all copies from $10.14! new only from $12.75!
16 view cover	Pottymouth (1993) more music like this by Bratmobile The first and only full-length album Bratmobile released during its initial period of activity -- in the '90s, the indie music scene was really all about the 7," the format on which Bratmobile made the most of its abilities -- 1993's Pottymouth neatly encapsulates everything Bratmobile was about. At heart, this means that Pottymouth is about the ... see all copies from $11.00! new only from $13.25!
17 view cover	Gato Negro (1996) more music like this by 7 Year Bitch see all copies from $2.98! new only from $12.89!
18 view cover	Call the Doctor (1996) more music like this by Sleater-Kinney Sleater-Kinney's masterful sophomore effort Call the Doctor fulfills all the promise of the group's debut and more, forging taut melodicism and jaw-dropping sonic complexity out of barbed-wire emotional potency. The emergence of Carrie Brownstein as an equal shareholder in Corin Tucker's vision is the key -- her four contributions (particularly ... see all copies from $10.43! new only from $12.13!
19 view cover	Introducing Cadallaca (1998) more music like this by Cadallaca Cadallaca, in the same vein as fellow Pacific Northwesterners Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney, writes bare-bones pop songs using a Farfisa organ, electric guitar and a simple drum kit. Their debut, Introducing Cadallaca -- ten short bursts of raw grrrl power -- shows the band is capable of rocking out on tracks like "June-n-July" and "Two Beers ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $5.99!
20 view cover	The Singles (1998) more music like this by Bikini Kill The Singles is not a Bikini Kill career overview, but rather a compilation of three 45-rpm-only releases recorded for Kill Rock Stars in between 1994's Pussy Whipped and 1996's Reject All American. All told, this material is some of the band's most accessible, highlighted by the three songs from the Joan Jett-produced "New Radio" single; one is ... see all copies from $9.96! new only from $13.09!
21 view cover	Humid Teenage Mediocrity: 1992-1995 (2006) more music like this by Jack Off Jill Riot grrrl '90s act Jack Off Jill set themselves apart from bands like L7 and Bikini Kill with a unique ploy: acid-tongued lyrics belted from the itty-bitty voice of frontwoman Jessicka. The singer's childlike timbre partnered with typical alt-rock guitar thrash was a cleverly ironic statement, marring demure femininity with unforgiving and ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $14.88!
22 view cover	L7 (1990) more music like this by L7 L7's eponymous debut finds the band just beginning to get their sea legs; their trademark grungy fusion of punk and metal isn't quite fully formed yet, often skewing heavily toward one side of the equation or the other. That can sometimes give the album a schizophrenic feel; one minute they're sneering punk goddesses, the next they're offering ... see all copies from $6.39!
23 view cover	Pussy Whipped (1994) more music like this by Bikini Kill A more experimental follow-up from these punk rock furies. While there's still lots of vitriol, the songs are more varied and even catchy. "Rebel Girl" is a manifesto just waiting to be discovered, and the rest of the album sees the band occasionally adding fun to their recipe for punk chaos. A good starting point. Heather Phares, All Music Guide see all copies from $3.99! new only from $8.99!
24 view cover	Peel Session (1994) more music like this by Bratmobile see all copies from $21.93!
25 view cover	Nemesisters (1995) more music like this by Babes in Toyland see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.11!
