    I love women who invade a Man's World and show them a thing or two :thumbsup:

    In sports especially, like Danica Patrick in Indy and NASCAR racing, but this is about Rock music...

    How about some Chrissey Hynde? [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eiW_NI9stp8[/YOUTUBE]

    Post videos, CD or LP cover art, interviews, pictures or whatever, bring on the girls who rock your world!!

    OMFG dude, Ann Wilson has one of the finest voices in rock male or female, hands down or UP :eusa_clap, she could sing the phone book and make me weep, I was lucky enough to see them live several times in the 80's, this is a ballad, not one of their best songs but, you get Nancy in there too!!

    Otep Shamaya might be the most badass girl in rock 'n' roll (metal, specifically). I love her It Gets Better video.

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=789Uhey82vs[/YOUTUBE]
    And then there's this song, which absolutely rocks my world. (Warning: video features violent fight scenes. Open it in a new tab and look at something else if that isn't your thing.)

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40pT1211uag[/YOUTUBE]
    And we can't have a girls of rock post without appreciation for Amy Lee of Evanescence.

    For all everyone says about Courtney Love she still used to rock

    I love SLeater Kinney, all girl rock band (two guitars and a drum kit, no bass)

    One last one; Bikini Kill

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZxxhxjgnC0[/YOUTUBE]

    Kerze, your taste is fantastic.
    My favorites:
    Kate Bush, who is my queen of pop.
    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C88yb-OVNmw[/YOUTUBE]

    Jarboe from Swans. She is fierce as hell.
    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA0ODpWEplg[/YOUTUBE]

    Queen Adreena. Actually, anything KatieJane Garside (or her sister Melanie) is involved with is worth checking out.
    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqERBkwBSsY[/YOUTUBE]

    Yapoos, a Japanese new-wave group.
    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgOAmSeLpZg[/YOUTUBE]

    Melt-Banana. A lot of people find them annoying, but I think they're awesome. Their live performances are supposed to be mind-blowing.
    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsiht-Be_Rg[/YOUTUBE]

    Lush. I got my signature from this song.
    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBkMQsu2iwc&feature=related[/youtube]

    Curve was super underrated. They were the precursor to Garbage.
    [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO23stnJ-RU[/youtube]

    Garbage. Do I even need to explain this one?
