Philosophy of the world – The Shaggs

This is a signature song by The Shaggs, a band with a unique character that emerged in the 1960s.

Included on the album “Philosophy of the World,” the track presents an intriguing reflection on people’s desires and satisfaction.

The lyrics portray human nature in which different groups—such as the rich and the poor, or the overweight and the thin—long for what the other has.

It sharply points out the contradiction of human society: no matter what you do, someone will disagree.

Recorded in a single day in March 1969 at a studio in Massachusetts, the song later gained a cult following for its distinctive performance style and unconventional lyrics.

It’s a track praised by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana.

“Typical Girls” is their debut single, notable for its punk-meets-dub sound.

The strong dub influence comes from having dub master Dennis Bovell as producer.

A sound like this performed by an all-female lineup was quite innovative for the time.

Fanny – Ain’t that peculiar (1972) | LIVE

Fanny, known as one of the first all-female bands to gain both critical acclaim and commercial success.

The opening track of their 1972 album “Fanny Hill,” “Ain’t That Peculiar,” stands out with its clear, airy vocals and lively ensemble.

The soulful guitar solo, featuring prominent slide guitar techniques, gives the song a powerful, undulating drive.

The contrast between the percussion-led intro and the slide guitar also creates a strong impact, making it a catchy pop-rock tune.

Oh No She Didn’t

This song, included on “The Way We Do,” released by the American contemporary girls’ R&B group Isyss at the end of 2002, became a hit into the spring of 2003, and the album sold 500,000 copies.

The sound woven by the three distinctively flavored vocalists is pleasantly satisfying.
