Kate Bush, Linda Ronstadt, Sheena Easton\*, Enya\*, Katie Melua were the first I thought of.

I supposed her look is considered a bit “homely” to some, but I think the young **Joni Mitchell** was absolutely beautiful, and am surprised she hasn’t been mentioned yet.

Tori Amos, PJ Harvey Bjork, Liz Phair, Courtney Love

Clearly I have a think for 90s rockers.

I wouldn’t say homely, not at all but I wouldn’t say beautiful either. But then as we know, “Eye of the beholder”.

I find the young Joni very pretty, especially in the Isle of Wight 1970 film, with one caveat: her teeth are a bit too big.

Taylor Momsen of Pretty Reckless is at the top of my list right now. Saw her live a few years ago, she kept my old heart going a little quicker that night. In my younger days it was Ann Wilson of Heart, Joan Jett and Stevie Nicks.
