    9. Janis Joplin

    Anyone who's listened and loved Janis Joplin's music will be able to notice the gritty realness that dominates her tracks. She'll always be remembered as one of the greatest rock n' roll singers in history, but her beginnings were far less glamorous. The 'Piece of my Heart' singer had a rebellious nature and recorded her first song on a tape. Joplin lived a beatnik lifestyle and during her time at University in Texas, she used to commute to Austin to perform alone with her guitar. Picture: PA
