So much talent - and so many names I don't know. And what gorgeous photos. I would add Emmylou Harris, who was and is, in her perhaps quieter way, one of the forces in country/Americana and an outrageously good talent scout.

You know, I actually had an Emmylou photo uploaded, but (as I told halfdutch about excluding a pic of Kim and Kelly Deal), the post was starting to feel too long and I thought I ought to cut back somewhere. But what the hell. Here's the photo I was going to use:

NP. :) Not to be superficial, but I can never quite get over how beautiful her hair is.

I know! I always think the same thing. She's an absolutely stunning woman anyway, but her hair is literally her crowning glory.

I hope she uses some kind of treatment to keep it that perfect silvery shade. Because if that happens naturally, I'll be a big old ball of jealousy. *g*

I can't believe I forgot about her. She did a duet with Dan Fogelberg on one of the first albums I ever owned and it still makes me cry. The purity of her voice is unbelievable!

My list would also probably include the Bangles (first time I knew that girls could have their own bands!)

Mama Cass, Mary Travers, Linda Ronstadt and Anne Murray (Let em show you how much older I am than you.) LOL!

Oh and someone mentioned Alison Moyet above - yeah!

Oh man, yes! The Bangles! I still have their first two albums on cassette. :)

Mama Cass was almost part of the list -- another one lost to the cut. But that's another pic I had uploaded, so voilà:
