Women musicians have fearlessly redefined what it means to rock for decades, and their influence is stronger than ever. From Janis Joplin belting out the blues at Woodstock to Stevie Nick’s transcendent poetic power to Patti Smith’s endless authenticity to Debbie Harry leading Blondie with effortless cool, and bands like Bikini Kill leading a punk rock revolution in the 90s, we owe them a huge debt. These women didn’t just break the mold—they shattered it. Fast forward, and we’ve got queens keeping it going like St. Vincent, whose guitar riffs are as sharp as her wit, Hayley Williams of Paramore, BLACKPINK, and the list goes on. These women don’t just play music—they dominate the stage, the crowd, and every riff, reminding us that rock isn’t just noise; it’s about rebellion, creativity, innovation, and meticulous attention to detail. Enjoy this curated ROCKTOBER 2024 playlist on P11 FM’s Spotify, which includes numerous music styles (and, of course, rock), proving once again that doing it your own way rocks every time.
