Nominate your "Ultimate Rock Chick"

Amy Lee is great and so is Hayley from Paramore.

But I give you Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil:

CG all the way.

You’d better believe it sunshine. 😀

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

CG all the way.
You’d better believe it sunshine.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Yes, I believe it is what she is famous for! The force behind her popularity

😛

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.

Cristina Scabbia from Lacuna Coil

Hmm, I wonder what angle they’re going for in the marketing?
The “Katy Perry” technique perchance?

Except LC have been around a damn site longer than Ms.Perry.
Would have to go with DS’s choices, good taste that man.

I used to love these, still good actualy

Juliette Lewis is just trying far too hard to be Mick Jagger

@SpaceMonkey …

i own that ‘born to be sold’ t-shirt, got is off her after a Leeds Uni gig

That’s awesome … I bet you wish you’d come away with more than just a t-shirt though?

No one has suggested

Patti Smith?
And with all these people who like body hair too!

But the one that got me every time was

Louise Wener! I think I shall go rub my thighs for a while

@SpaceMonkey

i used to work security at Leeds Uni Refectory back in those days and on that day i was on the front of stage by that monitor, she wasn’t very well trimmed !!

she wasn’t very well trimmed !!

Nice.

Has anyone mentioned Beth Ditto?

or Susanna Hoffs …

I’ve looked up her dress

Suzi Quatro was my hero; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXok94y3nLg Sounds sort of ordinary now, but I wasn’t allowed to listen to ‘pop’, even the Beatles. My Mam was a musician and thought it was all trash. I can still hear her describing Led Zep as “like a load of cats’

joan jett..

Have Lacuna Coil not been on the go since the early 90s? That must make Ms Scabbia about mid 30s by now, unless she was a really early developer. I have to say, she’s looking good!

+1 for PJ Harvey!

Best. Thread. Ever.

+1 for TJ Harvey!

Lacuna Coil are rubbish though.

*saves thread to favourites*

Ritzy Bryan of Joy Formidable. She rocks

Joan Jett – can’t really sing or play guitar. It just doesn’t matter.

Proper Grrrrlll power.

Well you are all wrong!

Melissa Auf der Maur, Hole and Smashing Pumpkins bass player

Juliana Hatfield

Hayley Williams

Saffron from Republica

Am I allowed Kim Wilde?

Damn, how could I have forgotten the lovely Ritzy!
Then there’s these ladies, not necessarily rock, perhaps, but they all rock for me:

Maria McKee

Beth Gibbons

Aimee Mann

Laura Marling

Z Berg

Rod Stewart?

What a great thread.

2 Kims – Deal & Gordon

And Hilma Nikolaisen, the bass player from Sereena Maneesh …6′ tall, beautiful, plays bass and really has got the moves!

Gaye Advert

Chrissie Hynde, by a mile. The sound of her voice excites me greatly.

For me….

I was thinking of Kim Deal, well the breeders infact, weren’t they some sort of female indie supergroup.

Joan Jett
Blondie
Chrissie Hynde
Bjork

Rock is based on blues, hence Sister Rosetta Tharp.
Without her rocking, none of the above could have been.

Iggy Pop?

Taylor Momsen from The pretty reckless

GlitterGary, showing, as usual, zero interest in music. Butt out, troll.
The Breeders were excellent, part of the Boston indy scene. Connections with Belly and The Throwing Muses. Kristin Hersh, Kim and Kelly Deal, Tanya Donelly; seen all of them at one time or another.
Auf Der Maur I would include, and all of the Bangles, fabulous band live, Suzanna Hoffs is stunning, and the harmonies outstanding.
I would also include the beautiful Juanita Stein, singer with Howling Bells. Oh, Lordy…
