Rock and Roll Hoochie-koo v3.0
There are a lot of female artists who I'm really into these days who, if they aren't solo artists are part of a group and contribute in a significant way to the unique sound of said group. So thus: a shrine to the goddesses of modern music.
(In no particular order)
Sharin Foo of The Raveonettes
Bjork
Tori Amos
Régine Chassagne of the Arcade Fire
Amy Millan of Stars
Meg White of the White Stripes
Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's
Fiona Apple
Tegan & Sara
***EDIT***
I argued with myself over whether or not to put this next picture in. It turns out it's next to impossible to find a picture of Zia McCabe from the Dandy Warhols on the internet where she has a shirt on. I guess I should have expected that from the internet, the old coot! Anyway, I came to the conclusion that if you don't want to see Zia McCabe without a shirt on, you can go and read a book or something, cry-baby. She's a good musician.
You've been warned.
Zia McCabe of the Dandy Warhols

I'm just going to leave this up until I'm certain I've exhausted my list of personal musical goddesses. Thanks to Luke who helped with these two.
Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth
D'Arcy Wretzky of the Smashing Pumpkins

Hullo!
That is one damn fine picture of Bjork! I have one in a book with her hand down her pants. I don't know what she's doing, but hey, who cares! I love that picture of Tori because she's wearing a Tori Amos sweatshirt. And finally, to be 100%-Oprah-honest I've never really liked Courtney Love. Hence, she will not appear on this list.
I tested your theory and found Zia clothed, but what the hey -- she looks much more comfortable and 'in the zone' in the photo you posted.
Hey! Speaking of the Dandy Warhols and goddesses of modern music...
"Cool As Kim Deal"
Dandy Warhols
Hey.
There's nothing in my heart.
I'd rather be cool than be smart.
Hey.
What I'm thinking of.
I'd rather be cool than be loved.
Here's what I feel,
Ba ba ba ba.
Just want a girl
as cool as Kim Deal.
Hey.
I thought that you were tough.
Well I've had it too, had it rough.
Hey.
I don't care if I'm wrong,
'cause right always takes too long.
Here's what is real
Ba ba ba ba
Just want a girl
as cool as Kim Deal
Here's what I feel
Ba ba ba ba

So, you see...now you must listen to the Pixies! I'll burn you a compilation!
Sweet, sweet D'arcy.
Come on D'Arcy! Git on the bandwagon and dye your hair blue like in the "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" video!
By the way, if anyone has any possible candidates for the list, feel free to submit them. But keep in mind that I have VETO power and so help me god I will exercise it!
