Queens of Noise

I don't know what it was, but all of a sudden pioneering all-girl rock group The Runaways just popped into my head. With its most famous alum, Joan Jett, being credited as a major inspiration for a slew of 90's riot grrl groups, The Runaways were initially regarded as nothing more than a badly-told joke. However, with the rise of the riot grrl movement in the 90's, their importance has been, rightfully, given due recognition.

Check out this video of a live performance of their biggest hit song "Cherry Bomb":
