Shirley #10: Missminx’s 100 Rock Woman

Shirley got the #10 position on the 100 Women in Rock poll of the alternative UK site MissMinx. #1 position for Brody Armstrong (The Distillers), #2 for Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), #3 for Sleater-Kinney, #4 for The Donnas, #7 for Gwen Stefani (No Doubt), #8 for PJ Harvey, amongst others.
“The Nineties saw a lot of female singers take the limelight, but none were more striking and memorable that Shirley Manson, fronting Garbage. Now a new decade is upon us, and Shirley is still a spokesperson for females in rock, recently completing a tour of the US with No Doubt and The Distillers. Though her trademark red hair is something of the past, Shirley most definitely is here to stay!”
