100%
If L7 was my first major feminist awakening ("Pretend We're Dead," 7/25/08), Kim Gordon was the next strong woman-in-rock type to smack me upside the head. This blonde, leggy badass was holding her own in a band with three noisy dudes, while simultaneously looking like a starlet and not giving a shit about anything. This video was my introduction to Sonic Youth. (Side note: supposedly, the second line in the second verse is "He's off to check his mind." I first heard it as "The zoftig chick is mine," and even though I'm probably wrong, enjoy singing it this way better.)
Bull in the Heather
Featuring the dance stylings of one Miss Kathleen Hanna! Check out the awesome riot grrl baby doll dress on Kim, too. (Hey, it was 1994!)
Little Trouble Girl (feat. Kim Deal)
Ah, the Kims. "Little Trouble Girls" is also the name of Rolling Stone's awesome book of women in rock (inspired by this song), which I highly recommend checking out.
