ha ha hah.
ok im not a lady in the house but i must say this for clarification. though patti smith is certainly a superimportant creature janis joplin was a rocknroll supernova in fact patti smith's "elegie" in "horses" refers to her as well as jimi hendrix, jim morrison, etc.: I just don't know what to do tonight, My head is aching as I drink and breathe Memory falls like cream in my bones, moving on my own. There must be something I can dream tonight, The air is filled with the moves of you, All the fire is frozen yet still I have the will, ooh, ah. Trumpets, violins, I hear them in the distance And my skin emits a ray, but I think it's sad, it's much too bad That our friends can't be with us today. |

her group allowed patti to engage in free noise jams before sonic every surfaced & she adopted this cool le flaneur persona ala baudelaire, but on the other hand, Kim plays the guitar with her heels, delivers vocals with attitude & sweetly equally well, & is the woman rock bassist.

yes yes kim is awesome, but "most important" i think not. perhaps
"most important right now"? ok i agree. ah, always imprecise semantics getting on the way of internet discussions... the thread starter wasn't specific! |

chan marshall may be the second or third most important woman drunk in rock n roll
janis joplin wins that title hands down. and I would venture to argue the case that janis was a blues singer cloaked in rock trappings
