Best Female Rock Vocalist

Nicks' songs have more of an adult contemporary vibe to them rather than what I think of with pure rock music. Thus her ability to still emulate her older songs is much easier than what Wilson or Benatar would have to cover.

Ann Wilson played a local casino a few years ago and did some of her Heart tunes. Being around 70 at the time there is no way she would ever be able to perform as she once did. The same would be true of any older rocker that may still be on the concert scene. Making a selection regarding 'best female rock vocalist' it's reasonable to assume that we would be choosing based on when they were at the height of their ability and/or popularity.
