Anyone remember BItch? The Runaways, the Go Go's? The Bangles even, Susannah Hoffs was/is actually a pretty good guitarist.
Most Girl bands seem to have come from America. Britain has produced The Belle Stars (who grew out of The Bodysnatchers), Toto Cohelo and Bananarama but the Americans were more authentic.
There was music before the year 2000 you know.”

Girl groups nowadays do nothing for women. It was all about feminism in the earlier days. Bands like The Saturdays are just shallow airheads with nothing to say.
But I'm just a GrumpyOldMan so what do know?”

To be fair the thread is about UK girl groups not US although all those you mention do piss all over those in the poll, I'm surprised you never mentioned Girlschool though.
