THE YEAR IN ROCK
There’s never been anyone in rock’n’roll quite like Chrissie Hynde. Of course, there were women who rocked before she arrived on the scene 40-odd years ago, such as Wanda Jackson, Heart’s Wilson sisters and Patti Smith. But Hynde sort of synthesised the influences of all those women into something new, and topped it off with great songwriting chops and her distinct vocals.
