2. Karen O.
Why She Rocks: From orgasmic screeches to epileptic body-thrashing, Karen O is more than an idiosyncratic rocker with an unnatural affinity for spandex. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' frontwoman is a self-possessed force of nature who'll dizzy you up with lyrical riddles, douse you in beer and then sing you a love song to rest your pretty little head.
Most Rockin' Moment: After cursing a blue streak during the band's homecoming gigs in February, Karen O looked up to the balcony at New York's Bowery Ballroom and dedicated 'Maps' to a special birthday girl: Her mom.
