women are the best rock stars because of their periods.
seriously, though. women are the best rock stars because they are women.
even though rock was always a boys club, this list proves that women just do it better. probably because the only reason men ever rocked was because of women. if you look at it that way, rock always belonged to women. take any woman on that list. she will kick any guys ass. often in heels, to boot.
I like the comfort in knowing that women are the only future in rock 'n' roll.

Also: I got this amazing book by Nylon (for $1.90 at Urban Outfitters) a few years ago. It's all about women rock icons.
And lest we not forget Patti Smith, who even got kudos from Joe Strummer when he was with the 101'ers for her cover of "Gloria".
