‘Florence’ has been voted the greatest woman in ‘rock’ even though she isn’t


Story filed by Mikey on March 26, 2012

Listeners of XFM have given Florence Welsh the accolade of Greatest Woman In ‘Rock’.

The pop singer beat competition from Alison Mosshart of The Kills, who finished in a commendable second place, followed by Skin of Skunk Anansie fame, Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Karen O and Debbie Harry rounding off the Top 5.

With an apparent straight face, Florence said that being a woman in rock was all about “perverting the idea of femininity – managing to be vulnerable and powerful at the same time”.
