Ladies Who Rock!

Time to stand up and be counted!

Let's give a shout out to some of those great women frontliners,, groups or group members, soloists, songwriters,etc that we've loved through the years - and if you'd like to add why, do that too!

One of my all-time faves:

They glammed her up in the '80s, and she was gorgeous. She went along with it back then, you gotta do what you gotta do, I guess. But I knew that anyone with a back-up group named the Blackhearts had some real potential.

So glad she's still here for us - the stage persona, the way she seems to love it when she's performing, the great look. The fact that she looks half her age?

Hooray for Joan Jett!

My current favorite: Floor Jansen, the singer of Nightwish.

Her voice is absolutely amazing, ranging from pop, rock, operatic. Her talents were finally recognized in her own country (The Netherlands) just this last year.

Yes, Joan Jett. I got her autograph after a concert of the Runaways (post-Cherie Currie) in the 70s. Already a wonderful talent in her teenage years.
