Holy trinity: your top 3 albums made by women

Three is tough, but I'll go with:

Laurie Anderson - Mr. Heartbreak
Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love
Lucinda Williams - Car Wheels On A Gravel Road

Honorable Mention: PJ Harvey - Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea

 

Judy Henske - High Flying Bird
Emmylou Harris - Live at the Ryman
Them Bird Things - Stephen Crow Must Die

 

Historically:

Bjork - Vespertine
Aimee Mann - Lost in Space
Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions - Bavarian Fruit Bread

Today:

The Breeders - Title TK, Last Splash and Pod

 

Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love
Tori Amos - Under The Pink
PJ Harvey - Let England Shake

 

Ricki Lee Jones- S/T
Kate Bush- Hounds of Love
Nina Simone- Little Girl Blue

 

Can't choose just 3; cop-out I know... so I'll piggyback on your 3 excellent selections with a leaning towards Janis (and Big Brothers')Cheap Thrills over Pearl. Got to take a stand somewhere along the line.

 

Can't argue with Billie; but I lean towards her Columbia sides. Not that anything she committed to wax was anything less then etherial.

 

Just consider me a "more people".

 

Nice call on the Jane Siberry; not that the Roseanne or Joni (of your 3 or I'd choose Blue) but Jane Siberry, in particular When I Was Boy is usually overlooked. Calling All Angles!

 

Excellent trifecta... never heard any respect for Walk The Dog and Light The Light in Laura Nyro discussions. Nothing negative; but never a nod.

 

"Like" not exclusively for but predominantly for the brilliant Esther Phillips: From A Whisper To A Scream.

 

Tracey Thorn - A Distant Shore
Stina Nordenstam - And She Closed Her Eyes
Jewel - Pieces Of You

 

Of course they might; but it's a damn fine trifecta.

 

I've only heard one and I didn't like it

 

Excellent all. But the Lucinda and the Iris though!

 

Kate Bush - "The Dreaming"
Annie Stela - "Fool"
Joni Mitchell - "Court and Spark"

 

Nice to see another nomination for Stina's wonderful And She Closed Her Eyes

 

Honorable mention

 

Joni Mitchell - Blue
Liz Phair - Exile in Guyville
Dusty Springfield - Dusty in Memphis

Hon Mentions:

Lauryn Hill - Miseducation of Lauryn Hill
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
PJ Harvey - Rid of Me

 

I heard Little Star and then my GF at the time (total nightmare but another story girl) bought me the CD and since that time I bought Memories Of A Colour - not sure when exactly but soon after Christmas!

 

The first two B-52's rekkerdz, and Judy Garland-Alone

 

I see what you did there, but are you sure it couldn't have been the first day of spring?

 

That was almost a crime. But I have a proposal - tell me another Stina L.P. I might like - something nice - I see she has made seven now?

 

Oh yeah, I concur Fenderesq..
Too much like choosing a best child in a way, many may think that silly. So many more.. I feel I should have put Sister Rosetta Tharpe as I had first intended .. Oh well, enough things to lose sleep over
