Synic Selects Vol. IV - Female-Fronted Favorites

Distinguished readers, the time all of you - well maybe not ALL of you, but most definitely me - have been waiting for has finally arrived. It's that time of the month again, and no I'm not referring to THAT time of the month, I'm talking about the unveiling of Synic Selects Volume IV. (If I were on live TV, this is where the audience would start applauding.)

For many years, decades even, rock was a man's game. Metal, especially. Girls were basically not allowed to play rock music. And if they tried, they were laughed at. Thankfully, a change started to come by the mid-70's or so. (Ballpark; don't nitpick at me on the smaller details here.) When that change came, women around the world stood up, kicked rock-n-roll right in the dick, and played it as loud and heavy as any man ever did.

Over the years to come, the ratio of boys to girls became slightly more balanced. The scales still weigh heavily in favor of the boys, but nevertheless, progress has been made. This volume was compiled to celebrate the past and present of women in rock-n-roll. This is not a compendium of every female to ever play a rock song, this is simply a collection of some of my favorites.

Enjoy.
