Where's my Rock Goddess?

[imported_anacardo]

Inspired by the poster thread.

Since my shortpants infatuation with Joan Jett, I have yearned for a frontwoman / singer-songwriter that could be my all-time celebrity crush. It has been two decades of bitter disappointment since then.

There are, as I see it, two distinct categories.

Category A) Great musicians that aren't hot enough.

Examples:

Meg White

Great rack, occasionally looks incredible from just the right angle, but can't quite put it all together.

P.J. Harvey

http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/4685/4m26dd.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

One of the greatest musicians of the 1990s, but.. well.

Category B) Hot girls who aren't good enough musicians.

Examples

Fiona Apple

That one video is like the hottest thing anybody's ever seen, right? But she just hasn't ever put out a truly first-rate album, and she doesn't exactly "rock."

Liz Phair

One great album. The rest of her career is a bit of a train wreck. Some might even argue that she's not hot enough, but [censored] all y'all.

Can anybody do better, or is it strictly Category A or B, one or t'other?

I love rock 'n' roll...

meg white is a terrible musician. Dont kid yourself.

[diebitter]

Tori Amos seems to fit into all subcategories here bizarrely (as they are mutually exclusive!), for reasons I can't atriculate, even to myself.

Roxy Epoxy of the Epoxies

[Jack of Arcades]

more epoxies stuff, including music, can be found at their official site, htpp:://theepoxies.com. They're synthwave punk. So good live, Roxy is [censored] charismatic as all hell.

I love Chrissy Hynde of The Pretenders. I think she's really talented and love the early Pretenders stuff, when they were on their first and second drug deaths. I saw an Esquire "Women We Love" pic on her, and they described my love for her pretty well -- she's the kind of totally real down home woman you know could utterly rock your socks off. Too bad she isn't prettier, or even pretty. She's like the one you never married and probably should have, but you didn't know sh*t back in those days.

By the way, what's with Meg White's hand in that picture? It looks friggin enormous, like it should be on Lurch or something. She looks like she could palm her whole head with it.

Cat A: Kate Bush

As far as I'm concerned, aside from Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush is one of the greatest female musicians of all time (and the inspiration for other great female artisits as well) But, defintiely NOT HOT!

I'm looking for a picture from the 70's to see if she was hot then.

If you can see the video for Babushka, you will get insta-blueballs.

Here's a sniff of it:

That's funny, I can't stand Kate Bush, but I've seen her looking pretty hot before.

[Quinn Warren]

Karen O? Atypical, but very sexual.

She is probably in her 50's now but back in the day...

Strange but sexy.

[Jack of Arcades]

Ah, vn pick.

Siouxsie Sioux was awesome back in the day.

My internet connection is really sucking right now, so I can't get any pics, but Joan Jett was pretty badass. I think I would also throw my crush of Kathleen Hannah and Toby Vail I had when I was 15 in the mix as well.

[Ulysses]

Excellent post.

A few for consideration/evaluation:

Melissa Auf Der Maur
Shirley Manson
Gwen Stefani
Poe
Nina Gordon
Kay Hanley
Sheryl Crow
Aimee Mann

[Lazymeatball]

I don't think Joan Jett takes the cake in either category. And I like Joan Jett. but do you ever hear of her discussed in the category of great musicians, or hottest women?

i think you just have some personal thing for her that affects your judgement.

[woodguy]

A little dated, but in the 80's Lita Ford was all that.....

we were just having this discussion in another thread -

she's considered country, but in my mind, no one rocks harder then Lucinda Williams...

http://img484.imageshack.us/img484/8919/lwilliams3300cmyk1gg.jpg

but there is that um, elder woman thingy going on - think she's 50 now.

Wow...looking at these press photos - (http://www.lucindawilliams.com/photos.html) damn...for the most part, I could handle a 50 year old like this...hell yea.

I know I'd have to start drinking again though...

Aimee Mann's always been pretty damn sexy to me....even now, in her 40s....

I've always had a boner for Nina Gordon, too...great musician, hot body, and she rocks. And that big 'ol shnozz is just too freakin' cute, for some reason.

I thought I was the only one who thought Melissa Auf Der Maur was hot....

[Dominic]

Lita Ford always seemed to me to be a copy of a C-level stripper - I expected to see scars and stretch marks if I got too close.

[imported_The Vibesman]

I haven't seen many pics of Poe, the ones I've seen look cute, but I don't know if she's hot. But her album "Haunted" is fantastic. I'm not as big a fan of her first album "Hello," though.

[Georgia Avenue]

The only famous musician I've ever had a crush on was the atrocious goodygoody Amy Grant. I think that, as a 14 year old boy, I saw her as a beautiful flame that I could stomp upon...an unsullied field of snow for me to piss my name therein...corruptible good girl waiting for a snake like myself...

Well, you see, I was three at the time. I hope that's enough to explain everything.

Annie Berge-Strand (usually just Annie, but it's pretty hard to find a picture of just Annie on GIS)...

Emilie Simon is an incredible musician. She wrote soundtrack for movies, plays many different instruments and is very beautiful:

I have trouble understanding how Liz Phair doesn't meet your criteria...but in any case you're not gonna find anyone to beat her.

Blah, after claiming that meg white is a good musician, you don't really deserve it, but this (http://www.giantdrag.com) is what you're looking for.
