Answer 1

Mike you are a mean mean man to make me choose here! These are my two fave female 'rockers'.



Its a really close call. But Raitt doing 'Love me Like a Man' is awesome. Thats a great song too. So today I'll give her my vote.

Bonnie and I love the album The Best of Bonnie Raitt. Favorite songs Hear Me Lord and Silver Lining.

Answer 3

Bonnie Raitt

Answer 4

Bonnie Raitt!!

Answer 5

Melissa Etheridge

Answer 6

Bonnie Raitt is one of the best slide guitar players around. And a good singer. I give her the nod over Melissa (who is a fine artist).

Answer 7

Bonnie Raitt is twice the performer Etheridge is. She has more charisma, can play better, has better taste in material, and has a far wider range of voice and singing styles.

Answer 8

Love Bonnie Raitt is superb
