Well, as much as you think it so she still isn't pop or whatever else you personally think she is. However, you do realise that metal ('cheese' or otherwise), pop, death metal, acid rock, prog rock, etc are all merely niches in the rock category? If you're going to start such a thread as this you really ought to know such basics, no?

She had a storied career spanning four decades, something most of the others mentioned in this thread (poll or otherwise) can't claim. Yet you in all your wisdom feel the need to quibble over her even being mentioned. Interesting.


You remind me of another guy on here years ago who wanted to start a "greatest rock guitarists" poll on his site and started a thread asking GFYers for our opinions. He started off by saying "And don't say Eric fucking Clapton, I hate that guy" or something to that effect. He then proceeded to argue and scoff at every second name that was offered up for his rather less than impartial 'poll'. Which of course lessened the legitimacy of not only his results but of his suitability as someone to run a music poll.

Please don't be that guy.

Like you said, it's all a matter of opinion. The guy running the poll should really be the one who is most gracious about allowing others to have theirs.


I'm still laughing at 'cheese metal' by the way.
