1990: "Swamp Pussy", Babes in Toyland

In fairness to Courtney Love, she and Kat Bjelland played together in several unrecorded bands before going their separate ways to form Hole and Babes in Toyland, respectively, but though both women argued incessantly over whom originally came up with the tattered baby doll look and throat shredding punk sound both bands early became known for, it seems that the majority of their mutual bandmates side with Bjelland on this issue. Either way, it's hard to argue that Love wasn't the first to cash in her underground credentials.
