Happy to accept a disqualification (either on the grounds of not quite being rock, or not quite being 70’s – though she was signed to a label in '79), but I have to put in a mention for Laura Branigan… on whom i had a crush just from her album photo and voice. 🙂 I didn’t realise until i checked her bio just now that she had died in 2004. Sad. ---

[QUOTE=Wee Bairn] At age 10 I thought she was scary, but hot- what type speech impediment did/does she have, I don’t recall? And I didn’t know she’s married to Robert Fripp. [/QUOTE] A very slight whistling lisp on sibilants - quite interesting and appealing - not really a speech impediment at all, I guess. ---

Hell I still think Joan Jett is hot. I’d pick Kira Roessler but this isn’t an 80s thread, so I’ll say Jett. ---

I’m pure het and I think she’s besottedly beautiful. And the thing is, she was even more beautiful in the 80’s and 90’s. What’s endearing is that even with those glamor shots, she could also often look dorky and geeky. Of course, it’s the music that matters most of all, and I was in love with her music long before I ever saw a photo of her. [/QUOTE] I have to say, you’ve not changed my mind, but you’ve made a very strong argument here. Kate has a whole Emma Samms/Counselor Troi’s love child thing going on that hots me up pretty good. ---

70’s Anne Wilson and Debbie Harry are my votes. I always liked [Kate Pierson](http://www.jensunmack.dk/wordpress-2/wp-content/images/pierson.jpg) too. ---
