300. Lesley Gore

She may not have had the Soulful sound of the girl groups that populated the airwaves during her run, but Lesley Gore didn’t need to have it. What she did do was speak for a generation of young suburban white girls with her Quincy Jones produced sleek Pop songs. It may not have been Rock with attitude, but her place in Rock and Roll history is undeniable.
