Rockin’ women, well, they rock.

Rock and roll ain’t noise pollution, and unfortunately, in our subtly and not-so-subtly misogynistic culture, women who rock are few and far between. But women who rock, rock. And since pleasure can be progressive, here are a trio of music videos for tunes belted out by the just-as-strong sex.
First up is “Fast as You Can” by Fiona Apple, a video directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, whose other creds include two modern classics: the films Boogie Nights and Magnolia.

And here’s a cover of the pop-rocker “Your Daddy Don’t Know” by The New Pornographers, a mainly-Canadian outfit sometimes fronted by Neko Case. Case, for my cabbage, has some of the best pipes on the planet.

Rounding our our triumvirate, give a click and check out the purest from of rock: punk. Below you’ll find the Breeders (fronted by sisters Kim and Kelly Deal) kicking the &$?! out of “Gigantic,” a song orginally recorded by Kim’s other band, the Pixies. Punk is only punk when it’s live, so enjoy.
