Courtney Love is an alternative rock singer/songwriter who first gained notoriety during the early 1990s, in the Los Angeles music scene as front-woman of the rock group Hole. Though the group first started off making a distinct brand of chaotic noise rock, Hole eventually indulged in pop leanings and created the crossover hit album Live Through This in 1994. Having since gone on to make a name for herself as a solo musician, widower of Nirvana front-man Kurt Cobain, actress and pop culture headline-grabber with her oftentimes erratic behavior, Love is regarded by many as one of the more iconic female musicians to have emerged out of the 1990s.
