Having Arno Cartens AND SNG is not fair - that should count as one..... I didn’t read thru all the comments so dunno if someone else picked up the Nine are not on the list, nor Lithium.

I also mentioned Brenda Fassie right in the post opening. On your main point though, I'd love to hear your thoughts on those that should have made the list. Please bear in mind though that this was written in 2007, and as I mention above, it was based on my musical experience in South Africa up to 2005 (when I emigrated), so try and restrict it to bands contemporary around that time. One of the artists who springs to mind is Jo Day, who was definitely on my mind when writing this list, but - as I've said - I had to stop it somewhere! : ) Jo was/is a shining light for SA musos... she really helped my band out when we were starting out, covering us in her zine which gave us some cool momentum to start off with. Must say though, the concept of gender never came into my head at all when I originally drew this list up... these were just the bands that I enjoyed; so I'd really love to see your thoughts on who else should have made it onto here :) Hey Rochelle, thanks for the comment :)
