..there hasn't been a woman singer or musician who has achieved that distinction, yet.

And you can't answer Little Richard...

I'm sure Randi would have said Patty Smith until just
before the election. :shrug:

My first thought when I read the question was Pat
Benatar.

9. If Elvis was the King, the "Female Elvis" would be Queen, no?
That would be none other that Wanda Jackson.



Her voice, a wild-fluttering thing of sexy subtleties and sudden harshnesses, feral feline purrings and raving banshee shrieking, was a vulgar wonder to hear"-Nick Tosches, Unsung Heroes of Rock n'Roll. Dig 'Let's Have A Party" and "Fujiyama Mama" from WJ: Rockin'in the Country (Rhino cd).

17. PJ Harvey is probably a princess of it at least.
I highly recommend any of her stuff. She's a true rocker.

22. The Queen of Rock n' Roll you ask?? Joplin
Hmmm...Well, I would have to say Janis Joplin would be Rock n' Roll Queen the I.

Wendy O' Willams is the Queen Of Metal..DORO PESCH is the current Metal Queen.
