18. Agreed......

Especially Janis--she could tear your heart out. Gracie was more acid rock oriented. Gracie was acid; Janis was heroin.

15. Coutney Love

shirley manson rocks harder than she does and she's hotter.

shirley manson doesn't rock in the general sense, just moreso than Love

14. those categories are completely arbitrary

tina totally *crossed over*. her tone at times is much to raw for soul.

What difference does it make how much airplane I've listed to? I never said Grace didn't rock.

16. I forgot PJ

awesome...

Janis and Grace were blues and psychedelia. Not necessarily hard core rock.

Throwing Muses
L7
Babes in Toyland
Sleater Kinney
Liz Phair (on occasion)
Shirley Manson
Ani DiFranco (also on occasion)

17. hard core rock

is not exactly a genre.

Liz Phair sucks. I think she was replaced with an alien clone. How the woman who produced Exile in Guyville can be capable of the dreck she produces now is astounding.

Sleater Kinney just like to act like boys.

When ani kicks it up, it's more like hard core folk.

I miss the Throwing Muses, but they were more like hard core remember-when-it-used-to be-alternative-and-not-this-indie-crap?

L7, they were more "hard core" in their image, but they weren't very talented

Babes in Toyland. Whatever happened to them?

Shirely Manson is hot.
