Heard the interview on NPR this AM. A bunch of women voted on this, of all backgrounds and ages. That's good to hear. Overall a solid list.
Same.
Wait a min, Alicia Keys way at the bottom....and Beyonce's Lemonade waaay at the top?
I would choose an older Beyonce album over Lemonade... wtf...
Not sure about their taste in music now...lol

Came in expecting shit and ... that's pretty good. Needs more Heart.
Evanescence definitely should be on there for their first LP.

No Francois Hardy? And they could have picked a better SY album to represent Kim.
Nice seeing two of my favs, Laura Nyro and Alice Coltrane, almost next to each other tho
Great Scott Walker avatar btw

I'm kinda iffy about a lot of the placement and people on the list, but I am glad that Selena made the list. Amor Prohibido is my Mom's jam.

My money was on Lauryn and they got it right. Timeless album with hit after hit after hit.

Blue is definitely my #1.
Beyonce being above Carole King's Tapestry is a crime.
My top 3 would probably go:
1) Blue
2) Tapestry
3) Horses
So, at least those are all in the top 10.

Where's the country music singers? Females do really well in that genre. I can't stand country music, but it seems like an odd omission.
I didn't know my dad posted on neogaf. Maybe the corrs is more popular than I ever knew

No Loreena is all I needed to know this list is garbage.
I didn't even notice that. Garbage list.
Good list, but definitely some startling omissions.
It's always annoying when you can tell an author/team's tastes have gaps from lists like this. Like there are whole wings of a genre, or indeed whole genres, they've just not caught on with.
lol

I'm a fan of Lemonade, but it's too high.
Godspeed hopefully some kind soul makes a Spotify playlist to make it as painless as possible.

Nicki Minaj was robbed. The Pink Print is a classic
That list is great, but Penis Envy by Crass is a huge ommission.
And no Stereolab or Electrelane? The fuck? Cibo Matto?

Nina has no business in the top 10, and that's not even the best Nina record as it is.

Like a Prayer, Like a Virgin, & Madonna are all better albums.

This + no Ray of Light by Madonna, Xtina's Stripped, Britney's Blackout or Utada's Exodus are criminal.
Post is my favourite Bjork album. She should have been way higher but they got the right album in there imo.
No Broadcast either.

Before looking into the is thread I expected Lauryn up there. That lauryn hill album is so freaking good to this day. It deserves to be up there. It's a shame she hasn't released a real album since.
I'm going to check out that Joni Mitchell one now.

Yea. It seems like she had a bad experience with her team/label of you listen to some of her more relatively recent interviews. I guess business politics can be awful. But , if I recall correctly, that's why Robyn started her own label to facilitate her amazing comeback.
I don't think Post is a bad pick, I just think it's short changing her. I don't see how anyone could say Post is worth being on the list but Homogenic isn't (Vespertine and Debut too, to a lesser degree).
Same for Tori Amos. Little Earthquakes but no Boys for Pele?
Yea. I kinda understand why they picked Whats the 411 and Control, but I liked later albums by Mary J and Janet too, if not more.
I would pick My Life and Rhythm Nation over whats on the list for those 2 artist.
Lemonade being so high is crazy.
