Jess Horrible says
This is a great list, and I like how a lot of the songs you've listed deal with feminist issues. Definitely agree with LadyC, too.
How about some Bjork? And definitely check out Zap Mama.
Michael Goldberg says
I'd include these:
The Shangri-Las
The Ronettes
Wanda Jackson
Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Janis Joplin, Ball & Chain
The Bangles
Holly Golightly
I know you have a Janis track but I think the earlier recordings with Big Brother rock way more.
Michael Goldberg says
Bjork for sure! Also, Veruca Salt - "Seether" was a big indie hit and a great song. Liz Phair. Juliana Hatfield. The Breeders. Throwing Muses.
Sarah Dougher says
Great suggestions all. It is a difficult task to narrow it down to the content of three cds. That is my other puzzle. Michael, is there any way I can make a playlist that you could just down load?
SD
Wanbli says
I would add:
Billie Holiday
Tina Turner
Kate Bush
Stevie Nicks
4 Non-Blondes
Madonna
Joan Jett
Lita Ford
Luscious Jackson
TLC
Whitney Houston
Wanbli says
oops, a few more.
These 2 in particular I feel are very important:
Bonnie Raitt- shows that women can shred guitar
Ani DiFranco - shows the power of empowering and controlling your career
other women artists missing from your list:
Joan Baez
Joni Mitchell
Joan Armatrading
Ricki Lee Jones
