Subject: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
The current issue of "Women Who Rock" proudly dis[lays the woman I've always worshipped, Joan Jett, on it's cover. While reading through, I thought of Joan back in the day when EVERYONE knew who she was. She has now rocked FOUR dacades!!! What other RockGrrls of the 80's does everyone else still love today?

Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
My all time favorite woman rocker would have to be Pat Benatar followed closely by Heart.

Go Gos
Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
I really liked the Bangles and not for "Manic Monday" or "Walk like and Egyptian". Thier older albums had a folksy feel to them and I loved the song "live"
Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
Anybody remember Susie Andrews, she covered "Der Kommissar" (original by Falco)? I heard 4 covers of Der Kommisar: Susie, Falco, Afte the Fire, and a soul version (don't know the artist). I think Susie's was the best, she had a voice like vanilla ice cream.
Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
I can't believe the German heavy metal goddess Doro Pesch hasn't been mentioned yet. She rocked with Warlock in the 80's on four albums and has been solo ever since 1989.
Pat Benatar is probably the most gifted vocalist ever.
Lita Ford wasn't the greatest singer, but she had attitude beyond balls. She rocked with Joan in the Runaways, but I liked Lita's solo career better. I actually thought her highest selling album 'Lita' which featured the Ozzy duet was her weakest album. "Out for Blood", "Dancin on the Edge" and "Dangerous Curves
rocked.
Last but certainly not least in Ann Wilson. She is my favorite female vocalist although I have high praise and respect for the first three I mentioned. Ann Wilson and her sister Nancy could sing me to sleep on my worst days and listening to them got me through some real hard times. If you are unfamiliar with the album "Passionworks" I highly recommend it.

Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
The Go-Go's are my all time fave 80s female musicians. But I also loved Siouxsie Sioux, Cyndi Lauper, Debbie Harry, the B-52s girls (Kate and Cindy), Tracey Ullman, Bangles, Wednesday Week, Kate Bush, Poison Ivy from the Cramps, Strawberry Switchblade, Lene Lovich, the Waitresses (well, ok some of the band members were male), Excene Cervenka from the band X, the Human League girls, Tina Weymouth from the Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, and Annabella Lwin from Bow Wow Wow
Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
For those of you interested, on Joan Jett's website, there is posted an open letter regarding Rolling Stone's Greatest Women of Rock issue wherein the writer points out many of the neames missing from the list that are much more deserving of a place than modern singers such as Brittany Spears, Shakira, and so on.
Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
Tina Turner most definitely.
Howard
Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
Pat Benatar gets my vote as the Top Female Vocalist...Lita Ford for Top Female guitarist...Susanna Hoffs for Sexiest Female Rocker...
And I agree with Floyd..if you haven't heard Passionworks by Heart do yourself a favour and pick it up. It was the very first album I ever heard on CD and the sound was incredible...
Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
Lita Ford and Joan Jett have got to be at the top of my list, along with all the other ones mentioned before, but does anybody remember Sandi Saraya? She had a song that came out in 1989 called "Love has taken it's toll". This woman has an awesome voice and the song rocked.
Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
Yes, Pat Beneter it's a good one. But there are other one that rock my heart, Miss Patti Smith. There are 2 pattis, one with the mustcahe and the other shave her mustache :P - I like both ;D

Chrissie Hind was awsome doing "I'm only human" on SNL, and she wore a black spiked leather dog collar and tight jeans. I had a rush when I saw her then, awsome, my fave, caramba!
Subject: Re: Greatest women musicians of the 80's
Todd! we seem to have the same taste :)
I forgot to mention Poison Ivy, she rocks too, and the B52's girls. This is so cool, i love Strawberry Switchblade, when i mention about them a lot of people say "huh?", even the old timers.
and of course Anabella from bow wow wow too, I heard they are back but not the same, i still couldnt get over the fact that the guitar player died due diabetes (8 years ago already?), he was my very fave. Kinda looking like an Andrew Eldritch (sisters of mercy) with a mohawk :)
Ok, i came up with other females i forgot to post yesterday:
the girl from Transvision Vamp! anyone liked them?
Nena!!!
Chrissy Hynde from Pretenders

Without a doubt, Pat Benatar! She was a true rocker and very good looking. What a combination.
