Lady Rockers

Of the sixties and seventies

Up until the eighties, rock’n’roll bands were dudes. Let’s celebrate the few chicks that made it big in that testosterone-laden world.

Nothing but respect for the ladies in Motown, Folk, Pop, and so on. But we’re talking only rockers here.

Janice Joplin

Grace Slick

Linda Ronstadt

Chrissy Hinde

The Runaways (including Joan Jett and Lita Ford)

A whole band of female rockers! (I doubt they would have taken kindly to being called “ladies”!)

Shout out to 70s bands Blondie (Debbie Harry) and Suzie Quatro
