4. King: Jerry Lee Lewis. Queen: Joan Jett.

I am sure there will be many different choices on this.

[Va Lefty]

7. I can't argue with those picks...

My first thought was Jerry Lee and Pat Benatar, but Joan Jett works too!

10. A great and sadly overlooked Benatar song!

12. she's touring

She and Blondie (double bill) just played a casino near here

[old mark]

13. ...as does Pat Benetar with me. I just lean a bit more toward Joan's

rawness. She is still incredible.

6. Hendrix and Neko Case keep coming to mind too n/t

[enigmatic]

14. Dammit, I forgot about Neko

I'd put her on the same level as Maria McKee; I can't believe I forgot her..

[Tommy_Carcetti]

9. Nick Jonas and Hannah Montana.

What's that you say? You don't believe the Jonas brothers constitute rock music?

Then what, pray tell, were they doing in a movie entitled "Camp Rock" if they were not true rock and rollers?



Case closed.

11. if this did
