Woman musicians

The only singing women should be doing is while they're makin' my dinner!

*runs and hides*

[Steven]

Joan Osbourne for raw power and sexuality in a vocal delivery (right hand man)

Courtney Love for her anger, it has a honesty to it that I respect.

Nancy Wilson for her guitar chops and taste.

Nikka Costa for her soul roots and because she's so damn hot that she jsut kills me.

Stevie Nicks for being one in a million and for that VOICE.

Joan Baez and Carol King for starting it off.

Tori Amos, just because. Great piano, good voice, interesting lyrics, cool arrangements ... (And the red hair doesn't hurt either.)

That was totally sexist...and I would be angry if I wasn't laughing so hard. Nothing like a good women in servitude joke to lighten my mood.

Thanks for not taking me serious.

In answer to the thread though, I would have to agree with Tori Amos, she's amazing, and she plays Kurzweil pianos and synths.

I own all her CDs. "The Highwayman" is awesome! "Bonny Swans" is one of my faves as well. For some reason she always puts me in the mood to play the rpg Earthdawn.
