VH1 Classic's Top 20 Women In Rock - No Stevie!
 

I don't know how to break this to you guys, but Stevie didn't make the cut.... Hard to believe I know. I think we should all bobmbard the station and strangle them with our boas and stomp on them with our stilletos! :lol:

Here's the list:

20) annie lennox
19) joan jett
18) cyndi lauper
17) gloria estefan
16) the bangles
15) chrissie hynde
14) carly simon
13) debbie harry
12) pat benetar
11) cher
10) donna summer
9) carole king
8) janet jackson
7) mariah carey
6) go-go's
5) heart
4) tina turner
3) aretha franklin
2) whitney houston
1) madonna

:eek: Where's Sheryl Crow, Bonnie Raitt, Janis, and Linda Ronstadt?

Frickin' tards!

:wavey:

whitney, madge, mariah, janet, and gloria...imo shouldn't be there...

Cyndi Lauper, Cher, Donna Summer, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and Madonna don't qualify as "rock" stars in my book. Unless any of them had a SOTM or EO17 or even a Rosebud Rhiannon moment when I wasn't looking. :rolleyes:

(Also Pat Benatar makes me want to smash things with big sticks, but she's more of a rock star than most of the others and belongs on the list anyway.)

The notion that any of those women are more rock & roll than Chrissie Hynde and Joan Jett makes me sick. :distress: :mad:

Cyndi has/had a lot of those! :p She's a madwoman onstage. Don't be ignorant.

Pat Benetar is kinda... eh. Not my cup of tea.

I guess it was as good for you as it was for me? :p

Is there anyone in the world over the age of, oh, 16, who can listen to Love Is a Battlefield with a straight face? :laugh:

Oh I love that song. :o :laugh: :nod:

Ryan, apparently. :lol:

yes.

:lol:

i agree with you about cyndi, though, and i LOVE cyndi. love her. she just doesn't belong on a r&r list.

Seems as though the list could have spared Gloria and The Bangles. :shrug: It always amazes me how these lists include artists that have nothing to do with the genre...The Go-Go's, Mariah, Janet, etc. Eh, what do I know.

Pat Benatar had some great music back in the day- Promises in the Dark, Hell is for Children, Heartbreaker, Shadows of the Night- all great songs.

I could possibly see how the regular VH1 channel would neglect to mention Stevie (since she hasn't released any new solo music in almost six years), but VH1 Classic??? No Stevie? No Joni? No Siouxsie? No Patti Smith? ... but Mariah, Gloria and Madonna? Totally f***ing crazy.

i agree - i think about a third of that list shouldn't be on there. whoever created the list seriously blurred the lines of "rock" and "pop" ... they are different things!

agreed about PB too. bitch knows how to work it.

We must remember that music stations use the term "rock and roll" loosely. When they say "rock and roll", they mean music in general.

With that said, this list still sucks.

GLORIA ESTEFAN?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


Even as a fellow CUBAN, Gloria Estefan induces vomiting, headaches, and the uncontrolable urge to drive your car into a canal (Or to Conga off of a cliff)...the choice is yours...

Plus, she is no where NEAR rock and roll....
