Kristen Sollee: December 25, 2005

  1. Patricia Morrison
    (Top 10 musicians who have inspired me this year…) The Bags, The Gun Club, The Sisters of Mercy, and The Damned. Need I say more?
  2. Patricia Day
    The HorrorPops’ leading lady slams her four-string like no other while downing shots of Jaeger and looking fabulous in spike heels at the same time.
  3. Siouxsie Sioux
    A legend never gets old…
  4. Alison Goldfrapp
    Her icy soprano and steamy stage presence have made Goldfrapp my new favorite band.
  5. Melora Creager
    Electricity + cellos + rapier wit + a fascination with the macabre = classy and creepy, the perfect combo.
  6. Nina Hagen
    She’s never afraid to make ugly sounds, which makes Hagen’s music all the more beautiful.
  7. Hanin Elias
    Evil, hardcore gabber techpunk with earnest social commentary never existed before this Atari Teenage Rioter went solo.
  8. Jarboe
    You’re only as good as the company you keep, and Jarboe has collaborated with Foetus, Bjork, Bauhaus, Einsterzende Neubauten, Nick Cave...
  9. Vas Kallas
    Hanzel Und Gretyl’s lead screamer will put the fear into you like no other. And she has a great sense of humor too!
  10. Theo Kogan
    The only artist I know that can rock full sleeves and couture with panache and make new wave disco with passion.
