While the world counts gold medals in China during in the controversial 2008 Olympics, we’d like to focus on something more important than lip-synching little girls and fake fireworks: video games.

For some reason, video games have typically been the domain of lonely boys.
Same goes for rock’n’roll, to some extent.

So, in honor of rockin’ ladies everywhere, we present today’s list of hot chicks that could beat you at Guitar Hero III. Enjoy.
 
7 Hot Girls Who Could Destroy You (at Guitar Hero III)
7. The Donnas—Take it Off video
Ok, we don’t actually know which of the Donnas play guitar (they’re all named Donna). But, we know that this rock’n’roll girl-gang would make playing video games seem a lot less lame.

6. Joan Jett—I Love Rock’n’Roll mp3
Ok, so Joan wasn’t exactly a guitar geek ripping through sweet solos, but a few well-played power chords can go a long way.

5. Lita Ford—Kiss Me Deadly mp3
While her fashion choices were embarrassing (skank-o leather bathing suit thingies), and her hair was huge (well, it was the ‘80s, after all), there’s no denying that Lita could shred (she dueted with Ozzy!).

4. Nancy Wilson/Heart—Barracuda mp3
One word: “Barracuda.” Yup.

3. Courtney Love/Hole—Violet mp3
She may not be the best of the female guitarists, but she is probably the craziest, and you should never, ever underestimate the power of crazy.

2. Kaki King—Playing with Pink Noise video
Probably the most technically gifted of our list, King made a name for herself with her complex playing style and intricate fingerwork. Personally, we don’t want to listen to it, but we’re pretty sure her coordination would translate well to the fake guitar of Guitar Hero.

1. Wanda Jackson—Fujiyama Mama video
There’s a good reason a young rockabilly guitarist/singer named Wanda Jackson was known as the female Elvis (she also dated him as a teen, but that another story). She’s 71 now, but she still owns you, punk. We think Lisa Marie should name her twins after Wanda.

Is there a rockin’ lady we forgot to put on our list?
