- Female cock-rocker
In his paper I Wanna Be Your Man: Suzi Quatro's musical androgyny, Philip Auslander analyzes Quatro's live performances of "Can the Can" plus "Breakdown" and concludes that she performed as a female cock-rocker. He writes that
"she has appeared on occasion just as a bass player, not a singer, and demonstrates her instrumental prowess with an extended bass guitar solo during her own concerts. By foregrounding her status as a rock player, not just a singer, Quatro declares ownership of the symbolic rock cock."

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or style:
“Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“The difference between style and taste is never easy to define, but style tends to be centered on the social, and taste upon the individual. Style then works along axes of similarity to identify group membership, to relate to the social order; taste works within style to differentiate and construct the individual. Style speaks about social factors such as class, age, and other more flexible, less definable social formations; taste talks of the individual inflection of the social.”
—John Fiske (b. 1939)
