18. Beth Ditto

Why She Rocks: Frontwoman for dance-punk trio the Gossip, Ditto -- a plus-sized lesbian with a Southern drawl and a soulful howl -- challenges the skinny white boy indie-rock canon with riot grrrl mentality and a disco backbeat. It's social consciousness wrapped in a firecracker.

Most Rockin' Moment: During one of the band's shows Down Under, Ditto responded to a sexist jeer from the crowd with a verbal barrage . . . and self-induced vomit.
