Some great candidates but, for me, it's Janis Joplin.

I loved Grace Slick as a teenager


Yep. There was a full-page face photo of her in rose-colored glasses from the commemorative Woodstock (Life, I think) magazine that I cut out and tacked up on the wall as a teenager. It stayed there quite a while.

Very hard to pick a "best."

I'm leaning towards Amy Lee. A couple of pop-world contenders maybe not yet mentioned would be Sarah McLaughlin and Cyndi Lauper. Cyndi isn't necessarily an obvious choice, but she's got a hell of a voice.

Lots of great suggestions. Gotta go with Pat Benatar. Although I am not sure she qualifies as 'rock' Mariah Carey deserves a mention too.

'Old School' would have to be Janis Joplin. 'New School' I'd go with Beth Hart hands-down!

Ronstadt.

Unless you shoehorn Aretha Franklin into this category.

But neither one did "rock".
Pop music, there's dozens of great voices.

Rock is Joplin or Benatar.
Sorry OP but I saw Nicks live. The missing studio polishing/tweaking/tone correction was sorely missed.

If you're talkin' rock it's gotta be Grace Slick or Janis Joplin.
