Do you like women in ROCK?

[Dongie]

In 1977, a little known band was starting up. Anne was approached by a radio promoter after a show and asked how her and her lover were getting along. She figured he was referring to her boyfriend but discovered he was talking about her incestuous tangling with her sister and fellow band member, guitarist Nancy. This did not set well with the leader of the band, and she went to her hotel and wrote these lyrics...

All fantastic artists who had a significant presence in Rock music, and all present in my music collection.

This list would be much bigger if I included artists who were more Pop than Rock, but arguments could be made for Pink or Sheryl Crow, and for dozens of amazing backup-singers and co-vocalists - I mean, can you imagine Gimme Shelter without Merry Clayton's vocals? She SLAYED in that song.

The world of music would be so much poorer without them.

I have no problem with them. We've had at least one in the band 5 different times.

[Nikki1989]

Absolutely. It was Tori Amos that made me want to learn the piano back in 1997.

I also love Heart, Kate Bush, and many other female artists. I recently came across Rosalie Cunningham, who is another amazing singer/songwriter.

I get the feeling you're old school.
You belong in the 70s.
It was the best decade!

[Nikki1989]

I am very old school when it comes to music, movies and books.

[AI Opinion]

Women in rock have truly made their mark, bringing powerful vocals and incredible talents to the forefront. The story you mentioned revolves around the band Heart, fronted by Ann and Nancy Wilson. "Barracuda," the song inspired by that encounter, showcases Ann's powerful voice and Nancy's exceptional guitar skills. It became an anthem, reflecting their resilience and artistic prowess. 🎸 Their impact on rock is undeniable, inspiring many female artists to take the stage.
