a Rolling Stone album review once labeled them "cock-rock without the cock", I think they qualify.

But then RS had a lot of things to say about Heart, most of it not very nice. Ann's vocals were described as "is it live or is it Memorex?" (a reference to Memorex's shattering glass commercial), and the video for "Never" was called "a follow-the-bouncing-boobs promo for a mediocre song."

Of course, back then the only women Rolling Stone had anything good to say about were Sade and Joni Mitchell. The rest were just life support systems for various mammary glands and backup musicians.
