Can't really think of any - Belinda Butcher? Suzi Quattro played bass iirc so not her.

edit: Oh and Cristina and Ampara LLanos from Dover, just because I like 'King George' so much.

Kristin Hersh - but maybe too understated for a lot on here!

Yep a fan of both Poison Ivy and Kristin Hersh with their very different styles. Tanya Donnelly was pretty handy too when she was in the Throwing Muses.

On a folkier note there is Joni Mitchell
