The Sexiest Women of Indie

Ok, today a very different sort of post. Don't take it too seriously. 

Last week, Nerve magazine posted a very peculiar list on their website, "The 10 Sexiest Women in Indie Rock: 2012". I usually wouldn't care (not to say post) about that sort of "issues", but the list has provoked a "seriously" funny discussion with some friends and my girlfriend. So, after a long (kidding) deliberation process, here's mine. As you will see, they are not just beautiful women, but foremost, great indie musicians. They are all artists I like/love. So, let's talk about girls who play guitars (or keyboards, or cellos, or just sing, whatever)!

11. Miriam Gutierrez
(The Bright) 

12. Jenny Lewis
(Rilo Kiley, Jenny Lewis, Jen and John) 

10. Kate Jackson
(The Long Blondes, Kate Jackson Group) 

9. Rose Elinor Dougall
(The Pipettes, Rose Elinor Dougall) 

8. Basia Bulat

7. Annie Monroe (The Like)

6. Lourdes Hernández
(Russian Red) 

5. Gemma Hayes

4. Chan Marshall
(Cat Power)

3. Lisa Hannigan

2. Annie Clark (St. Vincent) 

1. Zooey Deschanel (She & Him)

 Coming very soon, the male list, done by my girlfriend....
