Feminist Hottest 100
As female musicians were terribly lacking in the recent JJJ Hottest 100 of all time, I am starting a poll for your favourite songs involving female musicians. I am happy to be flexible in the definition to include female solo artists, girl bands, bands with a few women in them, and even bands with one woman, but I tend to think guest vocals is stretching it.
"The only women to appear in any notable capacity were The White Stripes' drummer Meg White (Seven Nation Army, number 20), Massive Attack guest vocalists Elizabeth Fraser (Teardrop, 22) and Shara Nelson (Unfinished Sympathy, 93), Pixies bassist Kim Deal (Where Is My Mind, 29), Smashing Pumpkins bassist D'arcy Wretzky (1979, 35; Bullet with Butterfly Wings, 51; Today, 78), and Pulp keyboardist Candida Doyle (Common People, 81)." From article in The Age .
