Best Female Musicians

[quote='BusNative;170818;1]Prince tends to have ridiculously talented female musicians in his bands, and they're always smoking hot.[/quote]

Sheila E. was pretty rockin', iirc.

I just saw Drive By Truckers a week and a half ago and their bassist was solid.

And to stray from the Rock genre, I offer the following outstanding female bluegrass musicians:

Sara Watkins, formerly of Nickel Creek:

Sharon Gilchrist and Bryn Davies:

Good call FC.

Not sure why, probably has to do with hand strength, but girls are slow and just average when it comes to playing instuments. There are lots of fine musicians mentioned in this thread, but most of them are singers songwriters, not players.

Shocked that no one has thrown out Joan Jett or the chick from the Talking Heads.

I'm actually shocked there has been no mention of the marvelous Megan Martha White

 

[Buckeneye]

Kristen Randall

Sure the music is garbage, and sure she doesn't do too much aside from some backup vocals, melody and some samples - but for a 'punk' type chick,
pretty hot.

I 2nd Alicia Keys though, that is just heavenly.... the music of course

Kaki King is pretty ridiculous on guitar.

I'm pretty sure John Petrucci from Dream Theater has a wife who can shred too. I'll try to find a clip or two.

 

[Folanator]

Those two ladies are very very good. Good finds. Talented for sure.
