Holy trinity: your top 3 albums made by women

Joni Mitchell:
Clouds
Ladies Of The Canyon
Court & Spark

 

Aretha - at the Fillmore
Karen Dalton - Cotton Eyed Joe
Sainkho Namtchylak - Like a Bird or a Spirit Not a Face

 

My list today... only because the third one was recently acquired & getting lots of spins.
The Roches - Keep On Doing
Kate & Anna McGarrigle - first album
Nellie McKay - My Weekly Reader

 

Help me out. I'm confused. Is this thread about the top three albums by a woman or is this thread about the top three albums by a band that has a woman member?

 

Going to cheat a bit:

Lucinda Williams (Rough Trade album)/ Car Wheels on a Gravel Road - Lucinda Williams
All Over the Place - The Bangles
Everything's Different Now - 'Til Tuesday

 

Basia - London, Warsaw, New York
Bananarama - True Confessions
Billie Holiday - Lady Sings The Blues

 

Both haha. But if it’s a band, the woman has to be the main singer, songwriter, etc. The main thing, you know?

 

I can do five that I like equally, but not 3

Martha Argerich - Klavierkonzert Nr 3 C-dur/Klavierkonzert G-dur
Alice Coltrane - Journey In Satchidananda
Pauline Oliveros - Alien Bog
Yoko Ono - Plastic Ono Band
Ann Peebles - I Can’t Stand the Rain

 

Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved A Man Like I Love You
Patti Smith Group - Horses
Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

 

Joni Mitchell - Blue
Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels On A Gravel Road
Patricia Barber - Modern Cool

 

Chaka Khan covering Janis Joplin. I like Chaka, she’s got some style!

 

This made me laugh like crazy haha

 

I avoided Joni Mitchell as she has been mentioned a ton and many of her albums could easily be considered top 3.
I am also avoiding Carol King Tapestry as that is a great all time album made by anyone.

So my top 3 are:

Kate Wolf -- Give Yourself to Love (Live in Concert). I did not see Kate Wolf mentioned in this thread and many of you probably never heard of her. Her whole catalog is fantastic so if you have a chance, check her out.

Nanci Griffith -- One Fair Summer Evening. No mentions of Nanci either.

Bonnie Raitt -- Give It Up

 

Yes to the little-known McGarrigle sisters!

 

Mitski - Be The Cowboy
Kate Bush - The Dreaming
Roisin Murphy - Overpowered

 

Yes, several times.

 

Amy Winehouse - Frank
Kate Bush - The Dreaming
Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis

 

Hazel Dickens {A Few Old Memories}
Luciana Souza {Brazilian Duos}
Jen Shyu & Jade Tongue {Sounds and Cries of the World}

 

Sandy - Sandy Denny
Prisoner in Disguise - Linda Ronstadt
Ladies of the Canyon - Joni Mitchell

 

Carole King - Tapestry
Lucinda Williams self-titled
Iris Dement - My Life

 

Same as me

 

Joni Michell - Blue
Emmylou Harris - Roses in the Snow
Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes

 

Including Mr. Jason falkner

 

Kate Bush - Hounds of Love (one of the greatest albums ever made IMHO)
Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You
Joni Mitchell - Blue
