I like Pat, too. Her voice is amazingly well-preserved. How about Joan Jett?

Janis Joplin. No other candidates need apply. It ain't even close.

You are correct, sir! All of the others mentioned are good, but the Wilson sisters (Heart) also deserve mention.

But she passed on before she reached her potential. And wouldn't you consider her more of a blues singer than a rocker?

Oh, she doesn't really qualify as a "rocker", but Sheryl Crow is excellent.

Agree about P!nk, but she can't match PB's classically trained voice. PB has got a set of pipes on her.

No.

And even when a song was technically blues she still rocked the shit out of it.

Sheryl Crow? Kill me. Take me now, God.

She is in a league of her own, no doubt about that. As for those that are still with us, I gotta go with Bonnie Raitt.

Not a rocker by any stretch of the imagination, granted, but inoffensive at the very least.

Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics. I've always liked her voice.
