I'm sorry but she does not deserve to be in the same category as many of these rock legends. I am not saying she cannot sing or perform. Most of her biggest hits were covers or written by someone else like Prince. Not saying she is not talented.

Most of the Go Go's hits were not written by Belinda Carlisle. They were written by the group's guitarist. She also did not write her biggest solo hits either. I do not think she is the greatest singer but the songs were recorded and delivered to her. All she did was add her vocals over the tracks. Rick Nowels wrote lots of her stuff. Not even remotely in the same league as the other women. Its insulting really.
I loved it on Madonna's Blond Ambition tour documentary where her back up singers would purposely annoy Madonna and keep banging their chest to sing like Belinda in rehearsal. That was one of the funniest moments of the entire 1990s decade.
Seriously though. Why not include Madonna or Janet Jackson on this list too
