Women Who Rock Right Now: No. 7

Who: Tegan and Sara
Birthplace: Calgary, Alberta
Sound: Folk punk

Tegan and Sara Quin are out and proud identical twin singer-songwriters from Canada. The two have released five albums of hearty folk-punk, and garnered mainstream attention after the White Stripes covered 'Walking With a Ghost,' off the sisters' album 'So Jealous' -- a record Rolling Stone named on their 50 Best Albums of 2004 list.

Well let's see...nominated by Rolling Stone 50 best albums 2004, they have, what, 5 albums by my count since 1999, they have hooks for days, no one seems to have heard of them so they can walk down the street comfortably, and their songs get covered by bands like the White Stripes. I don't think you can get any more RAFR (rock and f'in roll) than that without being labelled as a sell out. Tegan and Sarah rock and I fell in love with them quickly even though love wasn't what i was looking for.

The twins have a great and interesting sound. They're harmonic voice blend so well. With a slight alternative sound, they still portray a soft edge, which is refreshing. When I bought SO JEALOUS, almost every song gave made me physically feel something; they're really grand.

I love Tegan and Sara but I believe Meg White should be on this list...Jack gets a lot of the attention, even though he doesn't mean to...maybe she's not on here because she already is an awesome woman of rock...meh, she should still be on here. haha

PLUS I can't stand Amy Winehouse...she annoys me.

These girls are actually pretty good. But my favorite girl who "rocks" is Brandi Carlile. They did not put her on this list. She should have been on here. Please listen to some of her songs. They are really great.
