I recently had a conversation with a male friend in which he insisted that the hottest rocker chick would beat out the hottest female model any day, even bodacious Kate Upton. Whether you agree with that statement or not, you have to agree that there is something magnetic about seeing a beautiful confident woman in charge on stage.

Rolling Stone
magazine recognizes this, and is dedicating an entire upcoming issue to "Women Who Rock." To go along with the issue, they created a playlist of their favorite female musicians including a wide range of ladies, from classics like Janis Joplin to newcomers like Florence Welch. Check out their list and tell us who your favorite rocker chick is... I know you have one!

ROLLINGSTONE.COM reports:
Rolling Stone readers will decide whether Delta Rae, Dev, Karmin, Rita Ora, Rye Rye or Sleeper Agent will be featured as part of the upcoming Women Who Rock issue.

    Janis left her mark.. a short career and sadly a short life, but I think all these other rocker chics can thank her for paving the way. Gawd, I miss that raspy voice!

    Back in the day, Pat was great. Stivie Nicks is good to but she was better with Fleetwood Mac than in her solo career. Chrissy Hynde should be on the list too. How about Boy George?

    Oh little Stevie. She is near perfection. She has the voice of an Angel, the body of a Goddess and even NOW(Age 64!!) looks fantastic.

    I note that Joan Jett is currently the leader, with 20% of the votes. How much do you think the fact that her picture was the one which pops up at the top of the page influenced that? (I voted for her, btw, although I never bought any of her albums; I did buy most of Pat Benatar's albums, but I didn't vote for her. Would I have voted differently if Benatar's picture had been the one to appear by default?)

    I love Orianthi Panagaris. She's a Greek Australian musician, singer-songwriter and guitarist, and not only an average guitarist, but probably the best female guitarist I have ever heard.

    so true, shes underrated

    Absolutely, I hadn't heard of her before I watched the final documentary on the making of Michael Jacksons last tour, the one that didn't happen. I was so impressed with her technique. I've been playing guitar since 1976, or 37 years, so I am always listening and watching the guitarist when listening or watching bands perform, and I was instantly drawn to her ability. She also seems very level headed and I don't think were going to be reading about her in the tabloids.

    Plain as a fence, but a total force onstage. Once she made a song hers, nobody, but Nobody, could ever listen to another artist cover the song without thinking of her.

    Some of her songs sounded as if parts of her soul were being forced out with sheer will-power.
