I was older when they appeared on the scene than I was when the other groups were popular.

But they are still my favorites

Not sure they’re my favorite, but these gals could play. Maybe the first all girl band who played their own instruments.
Here’s their cover of a Marvin Gaye tune. Takes a minute before the song starts, so be patient…

The Bangles definitely top that list for me.

Vixen was the token 80's hair metal girl band, they were okay.

The Runaways were just a stepping stone to bigger things for Joan Jett and Lita Ford.

Got to see them live in Newark back in the day. (They hailed from nearby Patterson.)
