Girls' "Rule" Songs

So...the title of this particular post may require some explanation. Here we have a bunch of songs with the word "Rule" or "Rules" in their titles, but these are only by female artists. As much as I try to balance it out in my posts, more often than not there are more male artists or male-fronted bands than females. (This probably says a lot about the state of the music industry, but I digress.) But not this time! The guys in these songs are either nonexistent or backups to the ladies. About time, right? Enjoy!  ~  JH
