Even though they’re more of a pop-ska than punk, I need to give a shout out to the [Dance Hall Crashers](http://www.dancehallcrashers.com/), my all time favorite group. I’m also a fan of [Fabulous Disaster.](http://www.fabulous-disaster.com/) ---

One of my favorites is the sadly overlooked, all-female [Mo-Dettes](http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/artists/m/modettes/). I also thought of the all-female [Raincoats](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE4781ED84AA97320C2933945CFB575F30FDF45FB881F264B53DDB33068850262EC5DFC85D3E2A528F811D9B959ED0974B686E949FDDA793F3D8DE8EA69323C490C092D55E0B5&sql=11:he8o1vsjzz9a), but they might not be considered a pure punk group. There’s also [Essential Logic](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE4781ED84AA97320C2933945CFB575F30FDF45FB881F264B53DDB33068850262EC5DFC85D3E2A528F811D9B959ED0974B686E949FDDA793F3D8DE8EA69323C4F0C092355E0B5&sql=11:33120r2ac48c) and [Delta 5](http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE4781ED84AA97320C2933945CFB575F30FDF45FB881F264B53DDB33068850262EC5DFC85D3E2A528F811D9B959ED0974B686E949FDDA793F3D8DE8EA69323C4C0C092355E0B5&sql=11:t9txlf3e5cqt), but they only had one and two female members, respectively. ---

People who knew the Go-Gos in their early L.A. punk days used to laugh at the wholesome, squeaky-clean, Girls Next Door image they later cultivated. ---
