Default Best Female Rockers

Funny that anacardo posted his Rock Goddess thread right before I finished this poll. Puny minds think alike...

On the basis of Rockness rather than Hotness...


I included Kim Shattuck because she has the most amazing rock and roll shriek I’ve ever head, even tho she isn’t a solo artist. Same with Lisa Kekaula.

Disqualifications:
Liz Phair since she doesn’t really rock and her last album was produced by the horrid Matrix.

Fiona Apple for not rocking so much and being boney.

Lita Ford for hating Joan Jett

Cub for being a whole band (same with Go-Gos, Girlschool, Smears, Red Aunts, Chubbies, etc…)

Karen O for being bizarre, though hott.

That chick from Evanescence for blowing donkey dix from the back with mayonnaise.

Aretha, other soul singers for being in a different (probably better) category.

Grace Slick for public fattitude.

Others for not making enough albums—Mia, Slits, Detroit Cobras, April March, so on.

Additions? Pix? Silly buggers? Enjoi.

Debbie Harry should probably be here, too. I voted for Chrissy Hynde.

Where's the "Women don't belong in good rock music" button?

you need to put an "other" option

what about alanis? I hate her but I would think she should be included.

Also, I don't like many women rockers period.

The best of the lot was Pearl (a.k.a. Janis Joplin).

Current porkers who definately should have been included are Ann Wilson of Heart and Grace Slick (Airplane version). And Stevie Nicks had her moments.

do all these women come from a time period before 1990, or do they just suck enough that I don't know them? The only two recognizeable names are Joan Jett and Janis Joplin, and I am a fan of classic rock, so i presume the rest just sucked enough to be forgotten by history.

Melissa Etheridge: only rocks if you are an overweight lesbian.
Bonnie Raitt: Blues, not r&r (and wack middle aged blues as well)
Alanis: Canadia
Debbie Harry: Heart of Glass sellout moment
