Is there a queen of rock and roll?

Patti Smith :) She had a great influence on the music scene. She also made part of a punk band so I think it's a real queen of rock 'n' roll.

I guess that means Freddie Mercury is out, too. In that case, I'd either go with Janis Joplin, who had the intensity but not the longevity, or maybe Joan Jett, who was the opposite. Of the newer generation, and as much as it might hurt for me to say, no one embodies the rock and roll spirit quite like Courtney Love.

PJ Harvey, how could you not come up with her!! She's the best female rocker I can now come up to. She makes quality rock, not like most female rockers. I also like 'Eddie Brickells and the last bohemians (don't know how you write but you know).

This is a very good question Sript, I adore Maddona but she is more Queen of pop, so I would have to think along the lines of Stevie Nicks, Pat Benatar, or Ann Wilson all three are still strong and stood the test of time. I will probably be thinking about this all day now.

hi script. good question. i think in the past some people may have said dusty springfield but in the modern day mmmmm elton john lol. no seriously i would say the lead singer from the yeah,yeah,yeahs. don't know her name sorry!

Joan Jett by a long shot. "I Love Rock & Roll" is still a big favourite of a lot of people.

Gwen Stefani
