ZeppFanForever Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 4 Non Blondes (Linda Perry) by a wide margin. How's it going "danelectro59?" Three women come to mind at the moment and they are: JANIS JOPLIN, STEVIE NICKS and ANN WILSON! I realize that there are many other great female artists but these three are on my mind at the moment! ROCK ON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi ZFF, For me it has to be Tina Turner, if you regard her as Rock that is, other than that as a Male Show Van-ist i'm at a loss to say.

Footsteps of Dawn Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 If we're veering outside rock, may I suggest Ashton Shepherd? What a voice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Lena_Zep Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Janis Joplin without a doubt.Wild woman of rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Not a favourite but well worth mentioning (if not done already) - Cindi Lauper. Don't necessarily love all her songs but she has a stunning voice IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Danny How's it going "BIGDAN?" I hope all is well with you and your family. I finally got back home this evening although I had fun hanging out with "beatbo" in Biloxi. Tina Turner did sing Rock in the late 1960's and 1970's. Tina Turner definitely deserves her place in Rock n' Roll history. ROCK ON! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timothy5151 Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 (edited) Sass Jordan Listen to her "Rats" album, and you'll see what I mean Hands down, it has to be Janis Joplin. Sass Jordan is great too. I really like her stuff. Another Canadian female rock queen is Lee Aaron. Anybody remember her??? Gwen Stefani was great when she rocked with No Doubt (I think they're back together again). Mellissa Etheridge had some pretty good stuff as well. Sheryl Crowe, although I didn't really fine her first album all the rockin' Lita Ford is great. Alanis Morrissette (not including her first 2 pop albums as Alanis) Tina Turner. Joan Jett Stevie Nicks Anybody remember Chrissie Steel?? How about the female rock group Vixen? The female grunge rock band L7 were good too.

(Just hinting, 'cos she's my fave. ) You know actually, I've been thinking about/singing to myself "I Can't Make You Love Me" a lot lately, so yes, Bonnie is definitely on my list.

danelectro59 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 another one i think is great is Sophie B Hawkins. Not exactly a household name, but worth a mention. Seems that Janis is the crowd favorite and although you can't deny the impact she's had on rock & roll, for some reason i don't share the same opinion of her. In fact she rather turned me off.

Jahfin Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I love Janis too but I have to be in the mood to listen to her. To me, it was all about raw emotion with her and how she went about expressing it on stage. When it comes to vocal range there are others I'd put ahead of her but as far as stage presence, I don't think there's any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I love Irma Thomas. She doesn't scream or wail, just sings. And she does it really f'n good. Great voice. Hittin' On Nothing - Irma Thomas I still don't own any of her records but I first heard of Irma Thomas thanks to this line from Jimmy Buffett's song Saxophones: I cut my teeth on gumbo rock Benny Spellman and Doctor John Sweet Irma Thomas and "Frogman" Henry Use to boogie woogie all night long Speaking of Hittin' On Nothing, I'm not sure if you're familiar with it but Southern Culture On the Skids do a pretty cool version of it on their album Liquored Up and Lacquered Down.

Cool. I had no idea Southern Culture On The Skids made a cover of Hittin' On Nothing. I know you have written a lot about them during the years, but I still haven't got to listen to them yet. Regarding Janis Joplin, she was great and I love many of her records, but IMHO she owe's it all to this lady: This woman blows anyone off the stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
