Nancy Wilson.... (1 Viewer)

Vocally, musically, and everything else. I mean, c'mon! Superior axe slinger for starters.

All else is gravy.

Yes, I am, sorta, dating myself. So?

Ann was the singer though and probably the best female rock voice of all time.

I always post this, because Ann was hotter than Nancy at one point. But Nancy's MTV era -- remember 'Never'? -- killed me every time.

But here's Ann. :wub: Oh Dear God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gpNqB4dnT4

eta* Nancy kicks out the jams at 5:10 into the video. Nice touch.

Mount Rushmore of powerhouse female rock vocalists of the 70s:

Annie Wilson, Donna Summer, Linda Ronstadt, and Chaka Khan.

Aretha doesn't count because she would have to stoop to reach Rushmore, and Streisand doesn't either because she only dabbled (but would've been a GREAT rock vocalist).

 
Worked with a guy once who was a drummer for the Wilson sisters when they were in HS. We used to love to get him drunk cuz he'd invariably tell the story of them all skinnydipping in a pond outside the barn where they rehearsed. As he would tell the story - he actually thought Annie was the hotter - he would glass over more and more til his entire face was trapped in a catatonia of loss. We could never tell if the regret was based in having been so close but so far from being in Heart, or that he never got to dog those butterflies...

Awesome... my eyes are glassing over at the thought.

 
I have professed my lust for her in many a thread.

If I ever met her though, I would be sure not to wear a Captain Hook Fish & Chips uniform.

Have to fit Stevie Nicks in there somewhere, if we leave Summer and Chaka in there due to their voice (not sure either was "rock"..) then Ronstadt has to go but Stevie needs to be in there.

Ha, well I said "not sure." This came up with a great rock songs discussion elsewhere and I raised that Sly and the Family Stone and Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder were left out. Others said they weren't rock. (And btw what you end up with is a long list of white artists in the top 30/50/100 that way, though that really shouldn't play into it it feels strange). You can either view it as an era which includes a lot of variety, and basically anything with an electric guitar, or you can get technical about it and leave out what's called r&b or soul (or blues). I'm ok with it either way. I'm much more inclined to put Chaka in than Donna Summer though, just because funk and r&b (and blues) are a lot closer to rock and its roots than say... disco. And as much as I love her voice and respect her unfortunately much of Summer's work was indeed that.

They were idiots and had not one solid piece of ground to stand on. Ask them to defend it and watch them stammer all over themselves.

Donna's "Hot Stuff" is Pat Benetar's entire career.

 
I saw Heart at the Columbus (OH) Agora in the late spring of '76. Festival seating (standing) - front row. They both wore full length skirts at that show (and often), but Nancy's was always split all the way up one side. When she started jamming she would always put one foot a good step forward and the dress would split all the way to her hip exposing the crotchital area.

I still think of that often, at certain times.

Wasn't really tryin to compare careers...I was kinda going with combination of "rock" pipes and "hotness"

 
Last I looked Donna Summer was known for her disco career. I guess I missed her rock phase. And upon reviewing Ms. Khan's bio somehow they left rock off the genres she sings. Apparently a glaring oversight.

If I were granted a wish to hook up with any girl I wanted, I would travel back in time to 1975 and bang Stevie in a giant pile of coke and velvet.
