Much like female comedians, there aren’t that many women who can rock and get away with it.
BUT, much like when you do find a funny female, a rocker woman is just awesome. It’s like there’s no middle ground. They’re either great or rubbish.
Here we have a few of the fairer sex who prove it’s not just a man’s game.
Heart
Let’s start with a belter! Heart are just about the greatest female fronted band that have ever been!
Here’s one of the best from Ann and Nancy Wilson.
Debbie Harry
Blondie is one of the faces of the 80’s and pretty much the first girl you think of when trying to list lady rockers.
Suzy Quatro
Suzie Q, the woman warms the hearts of rockers everywhere. Creedence Clearwater Revival even sang about her.
Gwen Stefani
This one only counts during her time in the band No Doubt. Since then, I don’t know what happened…
Alanis Morissette
She’s a naughty girl with an innocent face. Even though she doesn’t know the meaning of irony, we forgive her for being generally a great songsmith.
Nina Persson
The lead singer of Swedish band, The Cardigans.
Meredith Brooks
It’s a little known fact, that this is a completely separate person from Alanis Morissette.
Stevie Nicks
Of Fleetwood Mac fame, she’s one of rock’s royalty.
Kate Bush
Quirky, maybe a bit mad, but she’s at that level where crazy becomes genius.
Dolores O’Riordan
Lead singer of The Cranberries.
4 Non Blondes
The girls that did that ‘Heeeeeyheyyyheyy I SAID HEY! WHAT’S GOING ON!?!?’ song. Them.
Grace Slick
Known as the lead from Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship.
Alannah Myles
Some think she’s a one hit wonder with ‘Black Velvet’, but she’s worth so much more! We finish this list with another absolute face melter.
