Stevie Nicks has got to be up there for me.

Who else?

Corin Tucker of Sleater Kinney has to be worth a mention from the modern era. Obviously not an icon like Janis or Joan Jett etc, but few if any female rock bands have ever put out anything like [i]The Woods[/i] - sadly SK's final album by the looks of it.

Ahhh, Melissa Auf der Maur...just beautiful.

I remember watching Hole at Reading 1995 when she'd just taken over bass duties. Bought her first solo album, that was pretty good.

Nice to see a mention for Sleater Kinney's Corin Tucker. By rights they should have been huge, but then they probably wouldn't have wanted that anyway.

Peaches was something of an ultimate rock chick, but I lost interest after the first two (brilliant) albums.

I just can't keep up with their ever changing line-ups, but the two women on bass and rhythm guitar duty with Nashville Pussy cicrca 'Leth them eat pussy' were a force of nature!

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst du vielleicht g'rad an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass so was von so was kommt

Von 99 Luftballons.........

augh! not all over the keyboard mudsux!

Really? I suppose in their time, they might have been something, but don't really compare to proper Rock Chicks of nowadays

Seems the word rock is not the same as it once was.. But for me there's a few names to make the grey cells work:

Lee Aaron
Susie Hatton
Taime Cain

I am sure phantom blue and femme fetale had a girl I recall!

Stevie nicks was gorgeous.
