66 - Women Who Rock
Manage episode 367852191 series 3002419
Let’s face it. Rock and roll has always been dominated by dudes, but music is full of female trailblazers and trendsetters who rocked our world and left their mark on the industry.
We’re talking about the soulful blues of Janis Joplin to Joan Jett’s punk guitar riffs. Debbie Harry embraced her hotness while leading a band that dipped into as many different types of music as the Clash, while Annie Lennox’s androgyny helped make her an advocate for gay people around the world. Tina Turner was a rock star in every sense of the world.
The list doesn’t stop there. Heart, Stevie Nicks, Melissa Etheridge, the Go-Gos, Garbage, Halestorm, Florence & The Machine, X, the Plasmatics, the Interrupters, and Scandal. They all show that rock and roll is for everyone.
In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, in honor of the Kate Bush fans who are STILL calling us misogynists for not liking her music, we’re throwing a guitar through the glass ceiling by looking at women who rock!
So turn up your radio and let’s wreck some stereotypes as we celebrate the women who rock.
