[QUOTE=pinkfreud] Another vote for Joan Jett. She looked great [in the 70s](http://www.bobgruen.com/files/asst/R.147%20JOAN%20JETT%2077.jpg). She looks great [today](http://www.rollingstone.com/artists/joanjett/photos/collection/photo/6/large). She looked great [blonde](http://www.mortalwombat.com/Image/JoanJett.jpg) (my husband took that photo). She even looked great [bald](http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r31/dinodressed2/JoanJett.jpg). [/QUOTE] Another JJ fan here - and yet another “not just a front-chick, but a real band member” kinda gal. I remember when she tried to pick up a hot friend-girl of mine back in Santa Barbara - I had no idea she swung that way. I love her cover of Sweet’s song AC/DC and the video featuring Carmen Electra… ---

[QUOTE=Savannah] Linda Ronstadt. See, I’m a girl, and my definition of hotness was wanting to be Linda Ronstadt. Prisoner in Disguise era, maybe. I even started wearing silver bangles and hoop earrings, my hair long so I could put it up, jeans and hippie blouses. A lot of that style is still with me to this day. I thought she was hot. [/QUOTE] Seconded like crazy. ---

Mariah Carey was totally hot in the 70’s. Why has that police car been parked outside my house for so long? ---

I turned 12 in 1980. I think I’d be OK if I had a little thing for little Mariah Carey. ---

Damn edit window! Pat Benatar is solidy identified with the 1980s, but she started to rock in the late 1970s. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glAPFCKiB6g) Same thing with Debbie Harry [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNpbgKn_cxo) [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvGQcmBY8JA) Today, though, Debbie Harry looks like a middle-aged ReMax real estate agent … [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/ws-yDlQAACY/hqdefault.jpg "Debbie Harry") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws-yDlQAACY) And Pat Benatar coud easily be mistaken for a middle school principal … [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/MgeMSbbWw88/hqdefault.jpg "Pat Benatar at Art Park in Lewiston") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgeMSbbWw88) Still, in the working-class Buffalo neighborhood of my wonder years, most teenage girls had Cherie Currie hair well into the 1980s, so she resonates with me on a primal level. She’s also held up much, much better. > **[MACAUINDO - Agen Sbobet Terpercaya & Daftar Judi Bola Resmi](https://macauindo.co/)** > > Macauindo situs agen judi online terpercaya dan resmi di indonesia.

I’ll go with Nancy Wilson, if for no other reason than that she thanked me personally for buying a ticket to the concert when I stopped at the ticket window that afternoon. This was at the War Memorial Arena in Johnstown, PA, sometime around '76 or so. But yeah, Stevie Nicks was pretty hot too. One of the YouTube links shows her doing ‘Rhiannon’ during a concert on the '75 tour. I saw a show from that same tour, and _dayum_.
