I was recently watching a syndicated episode of How I Met Your Mother and in it the lead character was dating a girl who played bass guitar in a reggae band. He and his friends proceeded to talk about how cool female bassists were, and that led to the weekly theory.
I Have a Theory…
…that bands with female bassists are two times cooler than bands without female bassists.
Top Ten
In honor of the theory, the top ten songs by bands with a female bassist are:
10. Lazy Eye – Silversun Pickups (Nikki Moninger)
9. It's a Shame About Ray – The Lemonheads (Juliana Hatfield)
8. Tomorrow, Wendy – Concrete Blonde (Johnette Napolitano)
7. Top of the World – Shonen Knife (Michi Nakatani)
6. Pretend We're Dead – L7 (Jennifer Finch)
5. Drown – Smashing Pumpkins (D'Arcy Wretzky)
4. Violet – Hole (Kristin Pfaff)
3. Our Lips are Sealed – The Go-Go’s (Kathy Valentine)
2. Teenage Riot – Sonic Youth (Kim Gordon)
1. Gigantic – The Pixies (Kim Deal)
Song of the Day
In honor of any bassist named Kim, the song of the day is, of course, the Pixies' "Gigantic".
