The ladies of rock

Glad to have you at the forum.

I also like Hope Sandoval, especially the "So Tonight That I Might See" album. I think that album is flawless.

Here are some women whose music floats my boat:

Janis Joplin


Grace Slick


Billie Holiday


Nico


Yoko Ono


Julie London


Janis Ian


Joni Mitchell

Pj Harvey
Feist
Fiona Apple
Marianne Faithfull
Patti Smith
Regina Spektor
Shirley Manson
Nina Persson
Janis Joplin

I also like very much Anna Calvi and Karen Elson (The Ghost who walks is an underrated and terrific album).

I could add Nina Simone if we consider a broader definition of what is Rock and what is not.
That's pretty much all the female artists of my record collection, with the exception of Yoko Ono, but if i don't like her per se, i respect a lot her "Plastic Ono Band" album.

Sarah McLachlan, even though I didn't like the two last records


Fiona Apple


PJ Harvey


Regina Spektor


Catherine Ringer from les Rita Mitsouko


Feist


Joan Osborne


Patti Smith


Emilie Simon


Tori Amos


Laura Veirs


Kate Bush



...and so many more: Alison Mosshart, Marianne Faithfull, Shirley Manson, Janis Joplin, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Bessie Smith, Kaki King, Gwen Stefani, Memphis Minnie, Florence Welch...

Thank you all for the response to this thread and I'm glad many of you have included Janis, Grace Slick and other ladies as your fave rockers. I started off by listening to Janis AND gRACE sLICK (jEFFERSON Airplane) myself.....funny how the motions have all lead us to Catpower:)

Nico, "New York, New York"

I thought some of you might get a kick out of this. It so interesting how similar Chan's look was to Nico's. The eyeliner, the bangs. Also, researching all these shows, I just had to check out the 2003 tour openers Women & Children. The girl in that band sounds so much like Nico its crazy. Man, I would've enjoyed seeing shows on that tour.
