Best Female Rocker

There's no wrong answer here; who do you think she is?

My knee-jerk would be Janis, but there's Grace, Annie, Ann, Pat...

Who do you think is the best, ever?

Sheet, I dunno, but I'll throw in Patti Smith. "Pat", that would be Pat Benetar, right? She can rock allright.

Yep, Pat Benatar. Questionably, yes; but an unquestionable rock voice nonetheless.

anyone going to post anything current...?!

Marissa Paternoster fronts the band The Screaming Females.

I saw them in Montreal a couple years ago. I've rarely seen chops like this on anyone -- let alone someone who barely weighs 100lbs and plays in a wool dress..
