NPR just published their list of the 150 Greatest Albums Made by Women.  

 

 

 

 

That's gonna keep me busy for a while.

At a quick skim they don't seem to have much of a consistent standard. I see a lot of acts that have a woman as one of multiple creative minds, but if that's the criteria they could have been significantly more inclusive.

I mean not many publications ever produce a top whatever that doesn't leave me feeling like I just wasted two minutes of my life scrolling through it, I just can't help but think if you can make room for Britney Spears you better be covering the dozens of top tier indie and post-rock acts of the early 2000s that had women writing as much of the music as men.

 

In general I think the predominance of music written 100% by men and handed to a woman to sing and stick her name on is kind of insulting when they could have dug a bit deeper and presented a lot of actually talented musicians.

Well I thought the top 10 were pretty spot on and browsing quickly through the rest there seemed to be a fair amount of variety.

I mean, Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin make that top list 10/10 times.

 

Amy Winehouse brought an entire style back into vogue, Missy Elliot broke up the boys club and slayed, idk about Beyonce bc I've never been a huge fan, Lauryn Hill yes please - that album is yuge.

I agree with the "written by a man" argument, but I think a lot of what they looked at was influence.

Maybe I'm just salty that they didn't show Wata any love.

 

Oh that reminds me to pick up the album they just released last week.  Heh

Kids at the daycare were singing this yesterday and it reminded me to tell you how much I loath you for sharing it.

I managed to grab like six Touhou soundtracks now and I'm totally hooked.
