Which Japanese Girl band is better?

Poll question: Which Japanese Girl band is better?

The 5 6 7 8s



Or Shonen Knife?

1. um, they don't rock more than American all- female bands

Joan Jett, L7, Sleater Kinney and others could blast em out easily.

But Shonen Knife is quirky fun and their lyrics are pretty wild.

[HEyHEY]

3. Doh! Sorry, I for some reason was thinking only now adays

And Patti Smith... you forgot patti

[tigereye]

12. well, she was never in an all female band, but you are right...

The Donnas aren't too bad.... they are more contemporary...

also Brody Dale and the Distillers...

[MrCoffee]

2. the knife

although the Go-Gos would beat the hell out of both of them at the same time.

4. I like them both....

But I don't know of any US girl bands that I'd compare them to. Lately, I'm listening to The Donnas a good bit but I just don't classify them to the same genre as Shonen Knife or 5 6 7 8's

5. Shonen Knife

But in all honesty, I've never heard anything by The 5 6 7 8s. Were they in "Kill Bill"?

[HEyHEY]

8. They did a cover of "Woo hoo woo hoo hoo" by the Rock*A*Teens
