6. Meg White
As one half of the rock duo The White Stripes, drummer Meg White was responsible for laying the foundation and rhythm for the band’s work, and boy did she deliver in a major way. The blues-infused garage band had a brilliant sound, and consistently delivered quality music and maintained a sound that clearly separated them from the other bands on the radio. Though they are no longer together, The White Stripes sport an impressive music catalogue, and some of their biggest hits are still played on radio stations around the world.
Meg White kept a very simplistic sound with her drumming, but for good reason. While any drummer with two sticks and a kit can add fills every other minute in a song, Meg excels in playing what is best for each individual track. To be clear, I’m not saying that she can’t. All I’m saying is that she chose not to, and the band’s music was far better off that way.
5. The Wilson Sisters
Although Seattle is best-known for their grunge music scene in the 1990s, there have been several other acts outside of the genre to found their way into the mainstream. In the 1970s, the band Heart would find success in the United States, and begin a career that would numerous hits, massive album sales, and would see the band become legends in their own right. Sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson have remained with the band since the 1970s, and are some of the most respected women in the business.
The sisters have led the band to massive success in multiple decades, with the 1980s being the most financially fruitful for the band. Each sister has their own distinct look, and are some of the most beautiful women to grace the stage. Their talent is otherworldly, and Nancy is such a great guitarist. Ann’s vocals are always in the forefront, but Nancy’s playing is equally impressive, and the duo continues wowing audiences worldwide to this very day.
