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
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...
