No, it's career suicide to record bad music. From '91-'96, more than half of what she recorded was not her own material.

None of the nullifies her success in the past thirty years. I thought the question was what female rock stars had sustained a career as well as Stevie? As for the touring, she's toured a helluva lot. Even when she had no Blondie album to promote. Her current tour has been going on for over a year.

You must not be a Tina fan because you'd know that statement is patently false.

They do? Both sing and record music.

Cher is a personality? You're losing the argument. And if her shows aren't rock shows, I don't know what are.
