Concrete Blonde - Bloodletting (1990) and Mexican Moon (1993)

This is another band that I don't think gets talked about nearly enough whenever someone brings up how awesome the '90's were. The fact that they're still going strong to this day indicates how strong they are as musicians. Some may blame them for the rise of female fronted hard rock/ goth rock acts, but they shouldn't pay the price just because some hack musicians heard them, and decided they wanted to be like them. Bloodletting is my personal favourite, but Mexican Moon has a strong follow too. Their 1986 self-titled album is something also worth looking into.
Yay. Concrete Blonde. I haven't even seen "Joey" on VH1 Classic for a long time, but I could tell from that and the few other songs I heard that that was a good band. One of the best female-fronted alternative rock bands of all time.
