Best Girl Group

See this content in the original post

Gorgeous harmonies! Relatable lyrics! GIRL POWER! Girl groups have been a critical part of the pop-music landscape since at least the 1960s (and arguably earlier). From Motown legends to 80s New Wave bands to the Brit Pop groups of the 90s to the reality-show-created ensembles of the 2000s, girl groups have topped the charts and captured our hearts for more than 70 years. Now as part of Season 7, the Great Pop Culture Debate podcast wants to determine the best girl group of all time! Groups discussed: Destiny’s Child, BLACKPINK, The Pointer Sisters, Wilson Phillips, Dixie Chicks, The Bangles, Little Mix, Salt-N-Pepa, Spice Girls, B*witched, The Supremes, En Vogue, TLC, Fifth Harmony, The Ronettes, Pussycat Dolls.

Join host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Amma Marfo, Curtis Creekmore, and Jake Lewis as they harmonized while debating the best girl groups in music history.
