    Are we talking musicians, or singers? To me there is a distinct difference.
    Then I can answer the question honestly. :)

    Frazey Ford is the only one that doesn't have multiple threads here, she only has one, though The Be Good Tanyas does have a couple. Not that they don't deserve more, but plenty artists don't have any threads here.

    Nicole Atkins - I'm smitten with this woman and her voice. Seems destined to remain relatively unknown.

    I'll go ahead and assume that Shannon, Brandy, and Angel Haze are not porno actresses, no more than Madonna.

    Was it really necessary to list Emma and Geri SEPARATE from the Spice Girls? Was it necessary to even list the Spice Girls in the first place?

    While I'm here, I'll mention Debbie Hastings as a bassist worthy of more recognition.

    Yes.

    And yes.

    Otherwise, I would not have written them down on the list.

    Comments like this are why women in music never get proper dues.

    People are too busy masturbating over Paul McCartney compilation track lists while then referring to women in music as skanks. :thumbsdow:thumbsdow:thumbsdow:thumbsdow:thumbsdow:thumbsdow:thumbsdow
