I daydream a lot, and one of the ideas I have had is the idea of an all-female hard rock heavy metal band. Imagine Jennifer Batten on lead guitar, Julie Slick on bass, and either Meytal Cohen or Roxy Petrucci on drums. I am limiting this list to people of very broadly compatible styles. Add a compelling female singing voice and/or keyboardist (there are of course, many) , and it aint hard to picture them on the cover of Rolling Stone. ( Or maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal in this post-feminist era. I just think the music would be good!)
Other combinations are possible: Paz Lechantin or Gail Greenwood on bass--maybe even Melissa Auf De Mar on bass and vocals and MEG WHITE on drums if you want a more mainstream pop/blues/rock appeal. Or Big Kat on guitar.
But I like the Batten-Slick-Petrucci combination for heavy metal rocking.

Actually, Jennifer and Julie have met and they did talk about collaborating in the future. You never know - Julie is moving to LA and I'm sure their paths will cross.
A great name for a four-woman rock group would be "Four Day Creep" --reference to line in blues classic "Outside Woman Blues" and other various blues songs. I don't know if "Three-Day Creep" would work as well; it might.
