I'll have to keep it just rock. There are a few jazz and soul singers that would ordinarily be on my list. Anyway here we go:
1. STEVIE NICKS (the queen of rock, and part of my personal Mt. Olympus of Songwriters)
2. Ann Wilson
3. Joan Jett
4. Chrissie Hynde
5. The Bangles
6. Pat Benatar
7. Joni Mitchell
8. Dusty Springfield
9. Deborah Harry
10. Christine McVie
