A week ago I wrote an entry I entitled The Female Voice in Rock. I applauded the presence of three songs on SLS11 sung by women.

This raises the question as to how many songs with a woman providing the lead vocals have made an edition of SLS. Below is the complete list in chronological order.

• Veruca Salt - Volcano Girls (SLS1)
• Garbage - I Think I'm Paranoid (SLS1)
• Hole - Celebrity Skin (SLS1)
• Tracy Bonham - Mother Mother (SLS5)
• Garbage - Shut Your Mouth (SLS6)
• Bif Naked - I Love Myself Today (SLS6
• Holly McNarland - Do You Get High? (SLS7)
• The Distillers - Drain The Blood (SLS10)
• The Distillers - Beat Your Heart Out (SLS11)
• Metric - Combat Baby (SLS11)
• Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps (SLS11)

So you see, only eleven songs in all of SLS have a female voice singing lead vocals. Still, with three of them appearing on the most recent edition, this could be a turning point for women in rock.

lookin at all the covers of the previous sls editions, wonderin why they are mostly of american landmarks or landscaping with the exception of a few, but none seem to be of canada, its a canadian run forum is it not?

Yes, 4 of the 10 photos were taken during my trips to U.S. destinations:

SLS1 - The Sound Garden in Seattle
SLS3 - Times Square
SLS4 - The World Trade Center
SLS9 - Brooklyn Bridge

One was taken in France:

SLS5 - Sunset from the Eiffel Tower

One was taken in Egypt:

SLS10 - The Great Pryamid

The rest were taken in Canada:

SLS7 - a Clear cut in Nothern Ontario
SLS8 - a beach on Price Edward Island
SLS6 - a glow-in-the-dark mini golf place
SLS11 - the roof of a theatre in Lindsay Ontario.

So you can see that most of the photos were taken while I was travelling.
