Queen Of Rock? You decide!

Speaking solely from numbers and commercial success, Stevie trumphs them. Stevie mind you, not Fleetwood Mac. Debbie Harry mind you, not Blondie. Debbie as a part of Blondie made a HUGE impact on the music industry, but as a solo artist......

Patti Smith... I don't know anyone who even knows who she is other than myself and other music junkies.

Joan Jett, lovely singer, but I really don't see the impact she has made. Anyway, I meant what I said more so towards Gwen Stefani and Liz Phair

Stevie has 5 platinum albums right? If Janis had lived on, even though her legacy is enough, she would be true competition.

Point is, Stevie leeched off of Fleetwood Mac until she gained her notoriety and made her impact as a solo artist. An enduring solo artist. People cite her as an influence, dress like her, cover her songs, etc, etc. That being said, once again, Blondie is one of the all time greats, but that is Blondie. Debbie Harry makes them, but she has never done anything too meaningful to the music industry as a solo artist, which in my eyes prevents her from being competition.
