[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4399825, member: 19675"] Thunderfoot, excellent post as usual...but with two glaring omissions. Any mention of women in rock is incomplete without mentioning Janice Joplin. Some of her stuff was as heavy as Zep's, and she definitely proved the girls could bring the [B]noize![/B] She had power in her vox unequaled until present day vocalists like Melissa Etheridge (I saw her post-chemo rendition of a JJ song, and she NAILED it), and hard rockers like Doro and the current crop (from bands like Arch Enemy and Straight Line Stitch). Also, you forgot to mention Blondie's emergence from the NYC punk/new wave scene- arguably the (comercially) biggest and (artistically) important band fronted by a woman in those genre. I'd at least put Blondie ahead of the Go-Go's and The Bangles. A third omission, though not glaring in any way, is that of semi-obscure guitar wizardess, Jennifer Batten. You may not know the name, but you've seen her mane- her sky-high bleach-blond poofador was the equal of any 80's metal shredder's. So is her technique- she's the big-haired axe-azon you'd see copying EVH's shredding on Michael Jackson's "Beat It" tour (and concert vid). She was also a member of Jeff Beck's band for a while- and you know you can't get that gig if you can't play. [/QUOTE]
