Top 5 Women of Rock

5. Sioxsie Sioux

So we have her to blame for all the emo punks sitting on the front steps of Flinders Street station. Seems like a fair trade. Just.



4. Shirley Manson

Forget the fact that these days she’s a Terminatrix camouflaged as a urinal. That doesn’t stop her from being awesomeness personified. In fact, it might even add to it.



3. PJ Harvey

I remember her being at Big Day Out about ten years ago and Jabba from Channel V was trying to get her to put on some trucker cap or something because Fred Durst was at the festival. She refused. And then she made Jabba bleed.

I might have made that last part up.



2. Chrissie Hynde

Pretender? I hardly knew her!

No, it doesn’t make any sense, but roll with me on it. Or not.



1. Joan Jett

Joan Jett is so freaking cool that they’re making a movie all about how cool she is. What’s that you say? It’s starring Twilight’s Kristen Stewart?

…

Ah, shit.
