Australias Greatest Rock Chick?

[Severe]

She goes alright but hardly a rock chick.

Just my opinion.

 

[Allikat]

Adalita was my hero growing up!



And she's not a frontwoman, but Vanessa from Jebediah is such an awesome rock chick

 

[rocker_oz33]

Dat school girl Chrissie Amphlett.

 

[Toump Ass]

Caroline Kennedy

Deadstar

Her new band is awesome (Caroline No).

 

[rocker_oz33]

Debbie Conway had some songs on the radio back in the day.

 

[Plugger35]

Chrissy Amphlett then daylight.

 

[Plugger35]

Sarah McLeod from Superjesus would get my next vote behind Chrissy.

 

[Severe]

Too butch IMO.

 

[Plugger35]

Katy Steele?

 

[Plugger35]

Some more of Katy Steele's work, she's a quality Aussie rock chick in anyone's language.

 

[benji2]

Chrissie definitely, then Adalita a clear 2nd.

Another one not mentioned is Sianna Lee from 2000s band Love Outside Andromeda.

 

[Leaping Lindner]

The two gals from Brisvegas rockers, HITS give it some

What he said. Plus some others not mentioned
Liz Dealey - Acid Drops. Twenty Second sect (The original Riot girl 10 years before anyone came up with the phrase)
Penny Ikinger - arguably the best female rock guitarist this country has produced
Cathy Green - Cough Cough, X, Love Addicts, Poker Hearts
A couple of newer ones....
Vanessa Vee - Valentiine
Bindi Masterson - Dead River, Killerbirds

Some great talent there indeed. Kudos for mentioning penny ikinger and Cathy green - Bindi goes alright too.

As far as current musos, you simply can't go past Adalita! Great voice, wicked guitar, and an amazing woman all round.

 

[benji2]

Would Wendy Saddington qualify also? She was more blues than Rock, but she was waayy out there and has been dubbed Australia's answer to Janis Joplin

 

[Ron The Bear]

Joan Kirner

 

[IAMDASH]

Amphlett win hands down.

Nitocris rocked in the 90s, The Spazzys, Jenny Morris, Fiona Horne are also worth mentioning

Jenny Morris is a Kiwi bro.




Quality rock chick though, sang on a lot of INXS's stuff.

 

[bradrowe#32]

Fun fact about Adalita - she was obsessed with Daniel Johns and wrote a lot of songs about him.

 

[wally funk]

Really? That's a bit surprising. What about writing for him?

 

[Mofra]

Worth a mention - Dallas Frasca. Crazy good live.

 

[Agent13]

Sarah McLeod for me.

 

[SnakeMan86]

Current Adalita for sure.
Honorable mention

Suze Demarchi was a Superstar

 

[Damon_3388]

Isabella Manfredi is the current queen

I can't take a band called The Preatures seriously. The name just screams pretentious indie hipster wank.

For me, it's Adalita (NFI why her recent solo work has been so underrated) and Sara McLeod, then then rest.

 

[rank and file]

Chrissie and Adalita,two of the best that Geelong have produced
