Stevie Nicks- Fleetwood Mac, wonderful voice , the song Landslide is one of the most beautiful songs ever and circa 1977 one sexy lady

Debbie Harry-Blondie , cool with it and very very hot with attitude, a great combination

Ann and Nancy Wilson-Heart, those voices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nancy is still looking damn good too

Chrissie Hynde-The Pretenders , angry, cool, very distinctive voice, she could probably drink ya under the table as well

Doro Pesch of German rock band Doro, remember them?

Eva Cassidy, that voice, wonderful

Amy Lee (Evanescence)
Pat Benatar
Amanda Marshall
Bonnie Raitt
Joan Osborne
and the amazing Janis Joplin.

Stevie Nicks tops them all in the cool stakes though.

# Posted by DYEHOUSE - 18/08/2009, 17:13 (GMT)

She looks a bit like Ann does'nt she? [Suzzy Hoffs]
I hope Ann's jugs are bigger than that though or I'm not bothering coming on that coach you've got booked for Friday!

I like the way this is filed under "hello" .... or is that "he-ll-ll-ooo"???
Where the bloody hell is Suse Hoffs playing - i'd have gone to Alec's Buskers Ball if I'd known she was on!!!

Does anyone remember Vixen? What a great band they were in the 80's.
What about Suzi Quattro? The original rocker in those leather trousers, oooh that takes me back to my adolescent years and having a sherman thinking about her.
Sheryl Crowe ain't bad either. Saw her supporting the Stones once, great voice and gorgeous with it. Not that looks having anything to do with it of course, it's all about ability.

# Posted by Rob Redfern, Black Rose,more f... - 18/08/2009, 17:47 (GMT)

yeah i do Steve Doggy, and Steve Vai is married to the orginal bass player from Vixen..... 80s rock pub quiz question or maybe not

Would love to meet Kate's Bush

# Posted by Ian from Bolton - 18/08/2009, 17:55 (GMT)

Patricia Morrison

The transcendentally beautiful Hilary Woods, ex JJ72

# Posted by Rob Redfern, Black Rose,more f... - 18/08/2009, 18:04 (GMT)

were sposed to mention about the music as well, i didnt necessarily mean a totty chart....well maybe.......

# Posted by Coldplayer - 18/08/2009, 18:08 (GMT)

Sheryl Crow.. Hubba hubba!

# Posted by Unfinished Business - 18/08/2009, 18:09 (GMT)

Isn't Suzie Quattro from the island of Lesbos? She wears those new trainers, Nikes for Dykes, they have an extra long tongue and you can get them off with one finger.. She'd probably like to meet Kate's bush as well

# Posted by Coldplayer - 18/08/2009, 18:10 (GMT)

Glad to see someone finally got onto my Kate Bush bit!

# Posted by Willow (of somebig™Fish) (Reti... - 18/08/2009, 18:11 (GMT)

she's very nice that Hilary Woods one ..... but she's left a Trojan on one of JJ72s pages within this infernal web that I've just been attacked by whilst trying to find naked pi ..., er, more about her!!
Interesting facts about what the name meant tho ...... last one being "a washing machine serial number"! LOL

Steve have you hanging around with Viking again love?

surely not?

and dont call me Shirley.........

# Posted by Unfinished Business - 18/08/2009, 18:16 (GMT)

Not this week bud, but I listen and I learn.Got that one from you didn't I?

# Posted by Bad Horsie (Mick) - 18/08/2009, 18:54 (GMT)

Anne Wilson has my 2nd favourite voice. 2nd only to Karen Carpenter.

# Posted by Sandwich Slayer - 18/08/2009, 20:23 (GMT)

Karin Axelsson from Sonic Syndicate, great bass player and gorgeous too. Would put a pic in but it doesn't work.

# Posted by Blind Justice (Sarah) - 18/08/2009, 23:23 (GMT)

Karen Carpenter had the best voice by miles from all of the above mentioned, just a shame about her mental state. There is some very good female songstress' out there, what about (in addition to my two penneths woth already) Alannah Myles, Anastacia, Alannis Morrisette, Tina Turner. Oh btw Carol Decker is crp live and has the foulest mouth I have ever heard. But the best has gotta be the welsh girl Bonnie Tyler!!! Us welsh girls can sing! ha ha

# Posted by GRPG - 19/08/2009, 12:37 (GMT)

You welsh girls can sing? what just like catatonia !!! ?? lol
Sorry but I have seen carol decker in concert and she was amazing ! ;-)

# Posted by Unfinished Business - 19/08/2009, 21:50 (GMT)

Did anyone get the "sherman" in my comment?
If not, it's cockney slang - sherman tank = w**k.
Just trying to educate the masses in the art of elocution.

@ steve from hotd-"What about Suzi Quattro? The original rocker in those leather trousers, oooh that takes me back to my adolescent years and having a sherman thinking about her"
