I can't believe Mary Ford isn't in the rankings.

[GUDG]

Sister Rossetta is the Grandmother of Rock and Roll totally should be no1 on this list

[russnurseb]

I agree. However, I think Charo needs to be on this list, too.

[stevebradbury]

Samantha Fish and Eva Cassidy need to be on that list.

[markh]

The women japanese guitarist like Midori and Miyako among others blow every single one of these women away...Every single one.

[vincentwee]

Nothing is mentioned about the Japanese rock goddesses like Midori, Miyako, Saki, Haraguki, Kanami, Misa, Fami.... the Japanese list goes

[MJ]

Jennifer Batten and Emily Remler can smoke all of them. Joan Jett? Seriously?

[GaryChambers-pm]

Yes, definitely agree! I love Joni Mitchell's style. I believe for every song, ''... she has a special tuning. She's amazing! She writes her own songs! And she has such a beautiful voice!

[nickmander]

Nancy Wilson should definitely be further up the rankings, She’s so accomplished on acoustic and electric guitar.

[Zepln]

This list is all out of wack if that's what they are ranked!

[Richard-ptvf]

Me.phis .minni song (blues
Everywhere) 1935 is rock n roll

[guitarman]

I've met Murial Anderson. She plays a harp guitar. She was the first womans American fingerpicking guitarist. Her music was played from the space station back to Earth. Her jealous teacher at music school said she would never make it. She has also got tiny hands and big talent.

[RosscoStixFpV]

Only watched this clip because it pictures PJ Harvey at the start.. but she didn't get a mention?

[gradaloo]

I would put Annie Clark much higher on the list.

[thomasbradley]

Sister Rosetta! Hands down! The rest are awesome also. 😊 The Atomik sends. Peace ✌. 😊

[ETIron-eh]

Molly Tuttle and Samantha Fish should be in the top 10.

[mrreemann]

Sad. None of the Japanese metal players like Midori are mentioned.

[EashomeMarystown]

Lari Basilio owns all of them. Not up for debate.

[jamesbrothers]

JENNIFER BATTEN PLAYED WITH JEFF BECK AT ONE TIME

[stephensuddick]
