Tina Turner
Sure the legs are great, but Turner's voice is the real national treasure. And she made her biggest mark well after most artists would be considering retirement. Best Moment: "It's Only Love"

Yes I far she can sing Rock she can sing about power ballads her sisters awesome and guitar they were probably the first and the foremost of women's bands and are still around and Ann Wilson and Nancy can still do it all I love them since I was younger I mean really younger not even teenager my sister's 10 years older I grew up listening to Barracuda and I'm only 43 so I wasn't even around when it came out I don't think so I mean and I grew up you know even listening to alone and everything else that came along with those so definitely and Wilson would be my number one a close very close second would be leaving there and some people might not say this Stevie Nicks is an icon she's got a voice that nobody else has the sound of and never will see is awesome I have her and Fleetwood Mac on my bucket list to see at least once in my lifetime

Yes, by far. I think she has the greatest rock and roll voice, including all men.

Pearl blended blues into psychedelic rock fronting Big Brother and the Holding Company from a bay area band to a national sensation in the late 60s. Was one of the three big name rockers who died from a drug overdose in 1970.

Annie Lennox
Her work in the 80's doesn't provide even a hint of the range and capabilities of this voice. Lennox can do it all. Best Moment: "Lost"

Kim Richey
I could think of some lame metaphor to compare the beauty of Kim Richey's voice, but it would be just that: lame. If you haven't heard Richey sing, do so. Soon. Best Moment: "A Place Called Home"
