Courtney Love

Courtney Love is one of the most argued-about figures in rock, and I think the arguments usually miss the point. Strip away the tabloid noise and you find a songwriter who articulated female rage and glamour-as-armor better than almost anyone in the nineties, and her band's best work still sounds dangerous decades on. I do not excuse the chaos, but I refuse to let it erase the music, which happens to women in rock far more often than to men. Her influence on alternative culture is documented and real. Survival itself, in her case, reads like an artistic statement, and I find that strangely admirable.
