I will open this up to all genre's. Because I would suspect the answers are based on personal interests. And by favorites, don't out think it, I know some try to show how in depth or knowledgeable they are, and come up with like 20 people no one heard of. And this is not me being woke, this actually came to me driving in the hinterlands of Michigan as a PJ Harvey song came on. These are women that you liked, grew up with, think have interest but basically women artists (solo or group) who you would download their music, search You Tube or other various media outlets or......pay to go see.
Here's mine, limiting to 7-10. In no order.
1) Polly Jean Harvey. Obviously since it was her who brought this to my mind, and if yinz figured out my favorite genre, she is just awesome. Will post some video later.
2) Patti Smith. I mean she is the god chick or godmother of the whole post punk, CGBG type of music. Not the most attractive, she still exude such a sexuality and just is overly cool.
3) The Go Go's Here he goes again, picking on Green Day. Green Day is a perfectly fine band and one I like. But for them to be first ballot HOF and the Go Go's had to wait until the past year, what the?? I mean how many more influential important bands are there than the Go Go's? Plus, they were awesome.
4) Heart/Wilson Sisters. Ann with her chops, Nancy on guitar, this was the first real female fronted rock band to trump the hard rock charts.
5) Hope Sandeval (Mazzy Star). Just my crush...so sexy, great voice, but unfortunately not the biggest resume.
6) Justine Frischman (Elastica). I don't know what it is about her, she is not classically hot, but she to me was so cool, so sexy. Loved this 90's band.
7) Stevie Nicks. I mean simply the queen of female rockers. Gorgeous in the day, her husky vocals fronting one of the all time great groups.....
8) Carrie Brownstein/Slater Kinney. My god, Portlandia and other comedy troupes be damned, she is one of the great guitarists of her generation. This group just rocks.
9) Kate. Bush and Pierson. Okay, I cheated. But Kate Bush and Kate Pierson have two of the most iconic female rock voices.
10) Courtney Love/Hole. Okay, she's a wreck and annoying. But Hole really was really good.
Many others I like alot, but these are my favs.
