There are two artists known as Hole: 1) the American alternative rock band fronted by Courtney Love, and 2) a British experimental project active in the late 1980s.
1) Hole is an American alternative rock band that initially formed in Los Angeles, California in 1989 by vocalist/rhythm guitarist Courtney Love and guitarist Eric Erlandson. The band went through various lineups through the subsequent decades before its dissolution in 2002, but is now currently fronted by Courtney Love, with lead guitarist Micko Larkin (formally of Larrikin Love), Shawn Dailey (of Rock Kills Kid) on bass, and Stuart Fisher (formally of Ozric Tentacles) on drums. Hole’s abrasive, self-consciously obnoxious style of alternative rock was initially influenced heavily by punk rock and noise rock and had a brief period as a three-guitar lineup, first with Eric Erlandson and Mike Geisbriecht, then briefly with the musician Errol Stewart. The band released two singles, firstly “Retard Girl” in 1990 and then “Dicknail” in 1991, both on independent record labels.
The lineup that recorded the band’s first album “Pretty on the Inside” (1991) was Love, lead guitarist Eric Erlandson, bassist Jill Emery and drummer Caroline Rue. The album, which was produced by Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon, was critically praised by rock journalists despite its limited popularity in the United States; overseas, however, the album was a hit within the UK rock scene, and its lead single, “Teenage Whore” entered the UK indie rock chart at number one.

Twenty years later and Courtney Love has failed to put out a "bad record". From Pretty on the Inside to Nobody's Daughter, everything Hole did was quality work. Even America's Sweetheart isn't what I'd consider a "bad" album. If you sit down and listen to her body of work and pay attention to the melodies and her lyrics, the woman's got fucking talent. Endlessly impressed by her.
