Women Who Rock Right Now: No. 1
Who: Amy WinehouseBirthplace: London
Sound: Girl-group soul
The tatted-up, beehive sportin' British neo-soul chanteuse is unapologetic about two things. One is her drinking, which is formidable. The second is the uncanny way in which she meshes modern urban attitudes with classic blues, soul and girl-group sounds. Her second album, 'Back to Black,' was recently certified gold, no doubt in part to its lead single, the middle-finger lush anthem 'Rehab.'
Listen to 'Tears Dry on Their Own'

Amy Lee of evenescence is by far the hottest rock chick out there right now, Just look how she sells out venues.. Whatever she puts her voice on sells. It is a disgrace to pick whinehouse over amy Lee or any of those other chicks Amy set the standard for all these chicks to be heard.

how incredible, they actually list the last ten women i hooked up with--what a coincidence......

Amy Winehouse could very well be the biggest young talent on the music scene. What distinguishes her, far above and beyond the rest, is NOT her exceptional voice. But, rather she writes all her own songs. Sure, Lauryn Hill is an influence--one Miss Amy pays homage to in her live shows. But, sadly Miss Lauryn has been one and done, for ten years running now.

Anyone ever heard of Tracy Bonham? Okay she spans the gap between "pop" and rock and so is not strictly a rocker, but her 2003 cd "blink the brightest" is killer.

I don't like any of them except Lily Allen, she's awesome! Amy Winehouse is like an ex-druggie, and her music sucks. Regina Spektor is O.K., but I think she sounds like crap. Rooting Lily Allen all the way!!!
