i8hibsh Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Right anyone who knows me on here will tell you I am a grade A sexist pig, but indeed I am not and one thing I do really appreciate(aprt from buns,cans and pins) is the high quality of female musicians through the years. Here are my fav's (in no particular order) Joan Baez Carole King Dolly Parton Janis Joplin Sheyl Crow Kate Bush Amy MacDonald (this girl is gonna be huge) KT Tunstall Annie Lennox Alison Moyet Jewel Sarah Mclaughlin Any others?

I P Knightley Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Nope. Thats them all. I like where you're coming from! Anyway - any old excuse to put this up: As Jeff Green said: She has immense musical talent, huge songwriting skills and a beautiful, unique voice. It's a shame that so many view her just as a sex symbol. Mind you, she hardly helps the cause by going around calling herself, "Bush". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Amy MacDonald (this girl is gonna be huge)' Any others? Aye she has the makings of a fine double chin already and she's only 20. Female musicians are generally ****e and only sing about themselves and their own 'feelings' (Dido/Kate ****ing Nash). You wouldn't get a burd knocking out 'The Ace of Spades' now would you??

I saw her a few months ago doing a one woman show and she was fantastic. There aren't many musicians of either sex I could see holding an audience like that for an hour and a half. Did songs on guitar, keyboards, piano and unaccompanied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is very accomplished on a variety of instruments and what a voice. I have not seen her since then, but she blew me and everyone else away down there. Was surprised how well she came across at an outdoor/festivile gig. Always thought she was more of an indoor draw. Would love to see her at a venue like the barrowlands where it's more intimate than an outdoor setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
