Past to present, women have held their own in the Rock ‘n Roll world. From Lady Gaga to Blondie, Rolling Stone Magazine released their ‘Women Who Rock’ list and these 50 women definitely know how to Rock!

The woman who we need to give a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T to is none other than the soul singer herself, Aretha Fanklin.  She takes the number one spot on the Rolling Stone’s list for her ‘I Never Loved A Man The Way I Love You’ album.

To finish off the top 5, we have Joni Mitchell for her album ‘Blue’ at #2, Dusty Springfield for her album ‘Dusty In Memphis’ at #3, Fleetwood Mac for their album ‘Rumours’ at #4 and Patti Smith for her album ‘Horses’ at #5.

Other Notables on the List are:

#6 Adele, ’21′

#8 Blondie, ‘Parallel Lines’

#11 Lady Gaga, ‘Born This Way’

#12 Janis Joplin, ‘Pearl’

#25 Heart, ‘Portrait’

#37 Beyonce, ’4′

#45 Taylor Swift, ‘Speak Now’

#50 Alanis Morissette, ‘Jagged Little Pill’
