Not that I can remember. I watched the whole thing through, and, 
though it still was a decent series, it seemed to degenerate into 
a glorification of, to borrow Vickie's phrase, "Boyz with Guitarz."  

About the closest the whole series even got to giving some females credit
was during the "Motown" and other subsections; about all that I remember 
coming out of it all was how great Clapton, Hendrix, and BB King are/were. 
Shoot, they didn't even mention Janis Joplin, much less Kate.  As I thought,
deserved attention was given to Bowie and Pink Floyd...
