Ultimate Music: Top 10 Rock Songstresses in Looks and Talent


by RJ Chamberlain, Sep 25, 2008

In modern rock music it’s often the female artists who provide that unique sound and style of which has never been heard before. Some fantastic songstresses have graced the musical airwaves over the decades and it’s only fitting that they be given the credit they so often deserve but never receive.

So what defines the term "rock chick" or "rock diva"? These women have a certain nouse that fits their often outrageous yet stunning looks and personality, not to mention a fantastic, unique singing voice that they have evolved into the metal rock genre. Often these ladies are the leaders of some wildly extrovert and alternative bands who end up sulking in the shadow of their iconic lead singer.

For your listening and viewing pleasure come "arguably" the greatest modern rock divas of all time....

Joan Jett (Joan Jett and the Blackhearts)

'Bad Reputation' was not so much an attribute of Joan Jett but one of her smash hit rock ballads alongside her band The Blackhearts during the 1980's. Her leather clad look and the awesome power ballad "I Love Rock n Roll" ensured her place in rock history.
