BRAIN: Operation Luv a deadringer for another tune?

is on the X-Brothers CD.

Then John said:

Also, on the X Brothers CD, the song Wild Ones is credited to the same
writers, but it isn't on a Deadringer album.  A B-side maybe?

Vixen may rock, but for my money the best hard rock song by a female
band (partly anyway), is "Barracuda" by Heart.  You can forgive an ex
Zeppelin cover band for ripping off the drumming.  And I think by the
time that song came out the riff was in the public domain... ;-)
Volcano Girls by Veruca Salt comes in a close second.  (I don't consider
bands with just 1 female member like tBS or Smashing Pumpkins to be a
female band per se.)
