Maybe after a year and a half the peeps at GQ have forgotten about it...Anyway Steves still has 49% of the vote and a 20 point lead over Tina Turner.... http://www.gq.com/women/photos/20101...n-of-rock-poll Go vote for Mama!!!

I didn't realize it was old... I had just come across it today. :/ Maybe it's just an ongoing poll.

This poll is rather meaningless, isn't it?

Still, I'm glad that one of my favorites made the list - Michelle Phillips from the Mamas & Papas.

Michelle was behaving like Stevie Nicks before Stevie was. She was the quintessential stunning beauty of her era. While she was in a band with her husband John Phillips, she slept with her fellow band member Denny Dorherty, not to mention Gene Clark from the Byrds. Lots of sex, pot and acid. She was actually fired from the band for her affairs early on, but was reinstated after some begging. She was and still is a very strong-willed, tough, liberated and unconventional woman, much like Stevie.

Again she end up getting feeked from these polls.

No Pat Benatar on the list? And since when Lauryn Hill is Rock artist? Maybe I missed something but her first and last studio release "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" was hip/hop-R&B masterpiece far from Rock realm. I'm glad that there's Stevie and Susanna Hoffs. I would add Alannah Myles to the list as she was tough sexy woman in her glory days of "Black Velvet". And what about hippy looks of Emmylou Harris? I know she's more country than rock but hey, if Lauryn Hill made to the list...

Rock n roll is Rock n Roll.How these non Rock artists get nominated.This is like getting Manning into the Basketball hall a fame.Kid Rock is probably working on getting into the Country Music hall a fame next.I guess it does not matter anymore.

OK, so if there are no formal restraints I would add: Paula Abdul (whom I idolized during my kids years

), Olivia Newton-John, Diana Ross, Donna Summer, Jody Watley and so on.

Its meaning is that it provides GQ something to put on the page, in between the display ads.

Many of those names are completely unfamiliar to me. But Joan Jett? Sexy? That gal wasn't even jolie laide. She was butch & homely.

This is about an Exhibit "Girls on Film: 40 Years of Women in Rock" on display at Lehigh University:

Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac was another charmer, Pantsios says. "I interviewed her for the alternate news weekly I was working for. She was so friendly and candid, so honest with what she had gone through in the late 1980s, with her drug abuse. I really had a lot of respect for her," she says.

With her long, swirly dresses, scarves, and cloud of blond hair, Nicks, likeLady Gaga,Madonna and others, was defined by what she wore. But some performers were defined by what they didn't wear, such as Wendy O. Williams of the Plasmatics. Pantsios captured her performing at the Richfield Coliseum in Richfield, Ohio, in 1982. Nearly naked, she's holding an electric guitar high above her head.
