Biggest Female Rocker

[Maxman]

Which female has had the biggest impact?

[faba]

Boy George

[Bob]

Depending on your definition of "rocker," I'd say Madonna. If people split hairs between, pop, rock, etc., the answers will be all over the place.

[Verde]

Where is Ann Wilson or Chrissy Hynde in that list??

[faba]

On a serious note Grace Slick

[JetCane]

Yes, Madonna, if rock includes pop.

Good call on Chrissy Hynde, The Pretenders rock.

But I'd say Stevie Nix had a bigger impact due to Fleetwood's popularity.

As a musician, I'd put Bonnie Raitt near the top.

bonnie raitt ( plays an amazing slide guitar)

Mmm yes.. Stevie is right up there. How DID she walk in those boots, anyway?

[SouthernJet]

Biggest? Mama Cass

[gg]

[NJ]

Where is Ann Wilson or Chrissy Hynde in that list??

Chrissy gets my vote.

[Maxman]

Guys,

I can't tell you how to vote. But if Benatar wins you will all be banned.

remember max....

hell is for children

[Garb]

Ann Wilson and Annie Lennox - (love her- one of my all time favorites: Would I Lie to You.)

Pat was cool. Great voice. Opera trained, I think. Gee, anyone know that for sure?

[Verde]

remember max....

hell is for children

Apparently, he hasn't actually been reading the thread!

[Maxman]

I have been reading this thread. I am shocked nobody voted for Weird Al. Not Pac Man Fever Weird Al, but the later stuff like the Thriller parody.

That was far more popular than anything Benatar could ever create.

[Maxman]

remember max....

hell is for children

This is a good point. I am in hell and I am surrounded by children, lol

Guys,

So many to choose from.... Belinda Carlisle...(go go's) a bit chunky but good pipes... er... Susanna Hoffs (Bangles).... <walk like an Egyptian...sings>... Posh Spice...

I agree with those who wrote in Chrissy Hynde.

Honorable mentions to Annie Lenox, Shiela E. and probably several others whose names escpe me.

[vanDoug]

As a guitarist, Jennifer Batten deserves a lot of credit. Anybody that can paly in Jeff Beck's group can PLAY.

I'm happy that nobody is mentioning Courtney Skank.

[The Troll]

Mick Jagger.

[Verde]

Mick Jagger.

Hysterical!

[PFSIKH]

Which female has had the biggest impact?

I went with Yoko. Destroying the Beattles has to count for something.

[i remember shea]

hmmm....

biggest = mama cass

(chicken bone not included)

[Panzer Division Marduk]

Angela Gossow.

[Bob]

I voted for Pat Benatar because Max said not to.

In truth, she was good, though hardly influential.

[joewilly]

what a classic thread. a simple question turns into a hilarious thread with good stuff from all angles.

I can't believe the singing nun hasn't been mentioned.. I had a huge crush on her since that hit single......oh dominica nica nica nica nica nica nica nica nica neeeeeeeeeeee ca nica neeeeee ca nica ca neeeeeeee.

anyone remember that one? anyone?

[JetCane]

I remember her

[PatsFanTX]

On a serious note Grace Slick

And Marianne Faithful.

[PatsFanTX]

Biggest? Mama Cass

SJ, I'm still waiting for your punch line.

[Barton]

Jon Bon Jovi

[joewilly]

I remember her

cool.... it was the flyin nun wasn't it..... my bad

[Preston Howley III]

Janis Joplin. Hands down. After her, Wanda Jackson.

[Boozer76]

janis Joplin

Grace Slick

Tina Turner
