Last night's foray into late night tv left me watching MuchMoreMusic's "Listed," that oddly addictive countdown show relating to all things musical. Last night's topic happened to be the ten best frontmen and ten best frontwomen. Here's their list for the girls:
#10: Ann Wilson of HEART
#9: Janis Joplin
#8: Joan Jett
#7: Chrissie Hynde of The Prentenders.
#6: Courtney Love
#5: Annie Lennox of Eurythmics
#4: Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac
#3: Tina Turner
#2: Gwen Stefani
#1: Debbie Harry of Blondie
Okay, so maybe I wouldn't classify Courtney Love as such a great role model, but the list is for best frontwomen, and the chick knows how to lead a band. Other than that, the other girls I definitely agree with. I mean, who knows how to kick ass like Debbie Harry?? Yeah, exactly.
On a sidenote, the men's side left out John Lennon, which was a bit odd, but they did include Freddie Mercury at #2 (#1 was Mick Jagger.) Being a huge Queen fan, this made me pretty happy.

We often end up watching this show as well and saying things like, "How can they put Shakira ahead of Madonna? What, are they crazy." It's silly, of course, because these lists are completely arbitrary. That said, I wonder if you agree with the list of frontwomen. As a Killer Queens blogger, what would your criteria be?
