 For fans of electronic music – and the far-reaching wave of style and pop culture that followed in
the wake of the 80s – Berlin vocalist Terri Nunn is an icon. As the charismatic vocalist for a band
that virtually launched electronic dance rock in the U.S., Terri earned the No. 11 spot on VH1’s
list of the “100 Greatest Women in Rock.” It might come as a surprise then to hear that Terri
(who inspired legions of modern female rockers) was first inspired by male role models like
Robert Plant and David Bowie. “The first artists that changed my brain about what I wanted to do
were men,” Terri confesses. “On stage they were really loud, powerful, sexy and irreverent. The
guys seemed to have a lot more fun than any of the girls I saw.” But Terri’s perception shifted
when she discovered the artistry of three very distinct women in rock: Grace Slick, Anne Wilson
and Stevie Nicks. “Grace Slick was really like a guy on stage, and she showed me the role I
wanted in a rock band,” Terri explains. “Anne Wilson also had an incredible vocal power and
presence, because she was very influenced by Robert Plant. Stevie Nicks was femininity and
mystery in the midst of the rock world, and I wanted that, too.

Patty Smyth, both with her hit band Scandal and as a solo artist, has always been, at heart,
a rock and roll chick, and that’s no truer today for the mother of six, now back on the road
and raring to play for fans new and old. If Smyth did nothing but marry New York punk
poet Richard Hell (with whom she had her oldest daughter Ruby), then noted tennis punk
and commentator John McEnroe (who had three kids of his own and then two more with
Patty), that would be amazing enough, but she’s also earned both Oscar and Grammy
nominations, recorded a series of hit singles and albums and enjoyed a successful reunion
on VH1’s Bands Reunited series.
