Jena ArdellEveryone has had a crush on rockstar before, but these woman actually pursued and conquered rockstars. In order to make our Top 10 Most Recycled Women of Rock list, these ladies had to have dated (or bedded) six or more famous musicians. There's one musician who appears on four of these ladies' lists. You might be surprised when you find out who it is …
10. Pamela Anderson:(shown above) Surprisingly we could only name six musicians this bombshell has been with: Tommy Lee, Bret Michaels, Vince Neil, Kid Rock, Fred Durst and David Charvet. Anderson will forever be immortalized in two (homemade) videos by ex-boyfriend rockers as well as two music videos: “Can't Have Your Cake” by Vince Neil and “Miserable” by Lit.

9. Carmen Electra: Born “Tara Leigh Patrick,” Prince renamed her “Carmen” and she added “Electra.” We're going to assume they boned after that. Carmen has dated Tommy Lee, Mark McGrath, Fred Durst, B. Real; was engaged to Rob Patterson of Korn; and married to Dave Navarro. And remember when Electra was rumored to be dating Joan Jett in 2007?!

Pamela had relationships with Zappa, Don Van Vilet, Nick St. Nicholas, Keith Moon, Terrence Trent D'Arby, Chris Hillman, Mike Stinson and sexed Jimi Hendrix, Tom Jones, Jim Morrison, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Ray Davies, Waylan Jennings and Dave Navarro, among others. She was married to musician Michael Des Barres for 14 years and wrote two memoirs about her experiences as a groupie: I'm with the Band and Take Another Little Piece of My Heart: A Groupie Grows Up.

1. “Sweet Connie” Hamzy: There's just something about rock music that makes Hamzy want to get horizontal. According to Hamzy, her lists of sexual conquests include: the Van Halen brothers, Paul Stanley, Peter Criss, Richard Stevens, Jimmy Page, Willie Nelson, John Bonham, Keith Moon, Graham Nash, Stephen Stills, Nigel Olson, Davey Johnstone, Dee Murray, Joe Walsh, Mick Fleetwood, Carlos Santana, Don Henley, Alice Cooper, Waylon Jennings, Rick Springfield, Neil Diamond, David Lee Roth, Frank Zappa, Eddie Money, Paul Shaffer and Vanilla Ice.
“Sweet Connie” is mentioned in Grand Funk Railroad's song “We're an American Band” (“Sweet, sweet Connie, doin' her act / She had the whole show and that's a natural fact”). Hamzy published a memoir Rock Groupie: The Intimate Adventures of “Sweet Connie” from Little Rock and is more than happy to divulge names of who had the biggest (Huey Lewis) and smallest (Peter Frampton) units!
Today, Hamzy is 57 years old and can still be found backstage. While being interviewed by Howard Stern, Hamzy mentioned an “encounter” she had with a member of Godsmack last year.
