Lolthere must be some mistake. Number 141 should be number 1.
I haven't gotten as far as number 1. Maybe it's there too.
No that's about right.there must be some mistake. Number 141 should be number 1.

You don't expect the people who compiled this list to actually listen to these albums do you? It's about representation not, you know, music.I've always thought 'the woods' was the better sleater kinny album.
i didn't read every entry but i got the opposite feeling from the ones i did i.e. personal responses from the contributors to albums that did and continue to mean a lot to them. i don't know enough about many of the women featured to know what their career bests are e.g. i really like dusty in memphis & roberta flack's first take, to name two, but i've no idea where they rank in terms of career highs.You don't expect the people who compiled this list to actually listen to these albums do you?

Yeah I was being sarky mostly, hence the second part of my post. Of the people on there that i'm a big fan of they tended to choose the breakthrough albums rather than their best album. Some of the artists get two albums which allowed them to stretch out a bit with their choices.i didn't read every entry but i got the opposite feeling from the ones i did i.e. personal responses from the contributors to albums that did and continue to mean a lot to them. i don't know enough about many of the women featured to know what their career bests are e.g. i really like dusty in memphis & roberta flack's first take, to name two, but i've no idea where they rank in terms of career highs.
fair enough, but often the breakthrough album is the one that more people have an emotional connection to. i noticed two nina simone albums - who else got two? joni maybe?

seems there were no fixed criteria. any list that includes oumou sangare (no joyce? no kandia kouyaté?), meredith monk (no patty waters?) and pauline oliveros (no delia derbyshire?) alongside buffy sainte marie (no karen dalton?), spice girls (no reynolds girls?), dolly (no neko?) and adele (no moyet?) is always gonna be a bit random. they should've stuck to female singers/leaders or female-majority groups.Mostly i'm a bit iffy about some of the stuff on there where the songs were all written and recorded by men or even someone like the B-52's who were creatively 50/50 when there's a lot of good female only stuff being left out. It's demonstrably not a list of albums "made by women" nevermind the best albums made by women.
Madonna, Aretha Franklin, Joan Jett/The Runaways, Beyonce/Destiny's child. Possibly more but I think that's most of them.fair enough, but often the breakthrough album is the one that more people have an emotional connection to. i noticed two nina simone albums - who else got two? joni maybe?
