these ladies love rock and roll
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
front women in rock
number 10 Hayley Williams Paramore from
the Tosk as the face and voice of pop
punk and alternative rock outfit
Paramore Hayley Williams has shown her
performances can be as fiery as her hair
her singing and songwriting skills
impressed music reps so much they signed
her when she was just a teach
she’s now known for attracting fans with
her spunky attitude and animated stage
presence as well as vocals that have
been praised by the likes of John Mayer
and others
I’m only happy when number nine Shirley
Manson garbage
even though the Scottish last had to
leave her home country to record
garbages first album with a group of
American musicians the risk paid off
the band’s self-titled debut gave them
worldwide exposure and turned them into
one of the 1990s biggest alt-rock acts
with her foreign accent candid
personality don’t care attitude and
musical contributions Manson is
undoubtedly a big part of the band
success
number eight Grace Slick Jefferson
Airplane
oh she later became a solo artist Grace
Slick sang lead for a number of bands
but it was during Jefferson airplane’s
evolution from folk rockers to
psychedelic rock band that slick really
found her voice this both as one of the
acts most versatile vocalists and as a
songwriter thanks to her looks unique
singing style and onstage persona she
also became one of the sixties biggest
female rockers number seven when Stefani
no doubt
whether with no doubt or solo when
Stefani has proven she’s not just a girl
with her expressive vocals and up the
image she first caught our attention
while fronting the Scott Punk influenced
rock band
signature style including platinum
blonde hair bright red lipstick and
midriff-baring tops also made their mark
but it’s her successful solo career and
accompanying fashion ventures that have
shown she’s no one-trick pony
number six Chrissie Hynde the pretenders
the pretenders never would have existed
without the talent and determination of
Chrissie Hynde as the bands only
unchanging members since 1978 the
singer-songwriter and guitarist led the
new wave and punk group to pop crossover
success
but she wouldn’t be on this list if it
weren’t for her energy and ability to
hold her own against the men of rock and
roll
number five and Wilson heart
stupid bug along with sister guitarist
Nancy and Wilson has been the core apart
since the mid 1970s
as lead singer she’s demonstrated her
versatility and genres like folk and
hard rock and helped take the band to
the top of the charts with these dreams
and alone
Wilson has also opened doors for women
to front hard rock and heavy metal bands
today and earned the respect of legends
like Led Zeppelin
number four Stevie Nicks Fleetwood Mac
you see
though she might not fit your
traditional definition of frontwoman
stevie nicks songwriting abilities and
vocal prowess were so vital to Fleetwood
Mac success during the late 1970s but
she made our list
as the woman behind hits like Rhiannon
and dreams NYX also inspired countless
female singers with her theatrical
performances and distinctive heavily
accessorized costumes
number three Janis Joplin Big Brother
and the Holding Company
mostly remembered for her solo material
Janis Joplin wouldn’t have become the
queen of psychedelic soul if she hadn’t
joined Big Brother and the Holding
Company her time with the band helped
her home the live skills for which she
later became known
described as an electric and provocative
performer Joplin also remains etched in
our memories
thanks to her colorful fashion sense and
flashy hairstyles
number two Debbie Harry blondie
Oh
considering her past is a go-go dancer
and Playboy bunny is it any surprise
Debbie Harry’s looks are as famous as
her musical talents after forming
blondie with Christine’s she quickly
made a splash on the punk scene with her
singing songwriting and youthful but
sexy style
with her trademark bleached blonde locks
she was a standout in the band’s music
videos soon
Blondie’s mix of disco punk rock and New
Wave took over the world number one Joan
Jett The Runaways and the black hearts
after sharing lead vocals and co-writing
songs with the runaways
jet developed her skills as a solo
artist but it was with the black hearts
that she truly shined by nabbing a
chart-topper with I love rock and roll’s
Idol
and by selling out Broadway’s
lunt-fontanne theatre the godmother of
punk didn’t only sing and play guitar
she also inspired the riot girl movement
with her no BS attitude and rocker chick
style
