Question to all the ladies on the board...

terminal pharmacy · 05.20.2006, 05:06 AM

Do you consider Kim Gordon to be the single most important woman in rock history, I myself cannot think of any female apart from PJ Harvey, Anita Lane, Ani Difranco or Kim Deal to be possibly worth of a title such as this??????????

edit: i forgot Lydia Lunch

SonicMartian · 05.20.2006, 08:39 AM

Patti Smith??

wishful thinking · 05.20.2006, 08:59 AM

Uh...Janis Joplin?

Protectmeyou · 05.20.2006, 09:06 AM

Grace Slick, Karen Carpenter, Patti Smith, Belinda Butcher, Liz Fraser, Bjork, Joni Mitchell?

jennthebenn · 05.20.2006, 10:00 AM

i adore kim, but i give that distinction to joni mitchell.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 05.20.2006, 11:01 AM

Deborah Harry!

Shayna · 05.20.2006, 12:47 PM

She's great, but most important? In all fairness, I don't think so...

thewall91 · 05.20.2006, 01:03 PM

certainly not the most influential or most important, but definitely the coolest woman to walk the earth.

no lita ford fans here???? how surprising!

LifeDistortion · 05.20.2006, 01:13 PM

Well, consider Kim's influnces from the women who came before her.

Patti Smith certainly
Exene probobly

And I'm sure Janis Joplin and Joni Mitchell as well.

In musical terms and as a woman i think Delia Derbyshire is way more important than all the above.

Avril Lavigne and Alanis Morissette

HaydenAsche · 05.20.2006, 06:22 PM

Chan Marshall is the greatest female performer.

i would beg to differ. old r&b was basically the same as old rock 'n' roll. the only things that really separated the two were subject matter and color lines.

that would possibly be true if she ever made it through an entire performance...or started one, for that matter.

val-holla-ing · 05.21.2006, 12:44 AM

everyone i've talked to says that she walked out in the middle of her set for stupid shit like fucking up the lyrics to jay-z's "big pimpin". i had planned on seeing her for this tour, but she did that thing she does.

True. I still love Cat Power. Joanna Newsom isn't far behind her, though.

Hannah · 05.21.2006, 04:31 PM

i think most people would consider the slits and x-ray spex as quite important to, atleast to punk. i can't even think of 1 all girl band before the slits. ?
