We weren’t the only ones who noticed that this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees included many talented women. Just choosing the selections below reminded us of their power and got our feet moving. Some tunes are the standards for which you likely know them: We still admire the incredible guitar work and durable melodies of Heart’s Ann and Nancy Wilson and dance a little to Joan Jett’s reputation. But we think you’ll groove on what Chaka Khan and Donna Summer have been up to more recently as well. Congratulations to all those being honored this week.
