Greatest Female Vocalists

[Chewbaccer]

I always loved the song Evergreen she did. Mostly because my Mom liked it. I was about 7 when I heard it while we were visiting my Aunt in Evergreen Colorado. Always remember all the trees there and the smell of that place when I first heard this song (and the name Evergreen) Kinda rainbow worthy, but whatever...

Different strokes I guess.

I'm not a fan of pop at all, and her voice is nails on a chalkboard to me. But I'd only go in deep to troll someone like Oscar,

Deborah Harry...

He's pretty much the reason why Country music sucks today. There were those that infused pop into their music and called themselves country before him, but ultimately true Country music always won out, but when Garth came around it let fags like Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney know it was ok to be a pop singer and call yourself Country. There were enough of the true Country singers around to keep it alive through most of the 90's, but that was pretty much the death of Country music with the exception of a few singers you won't hear on the radio. Waylon Jennings is my hero, and this is what he had to say about Garth Brooks:

"Garth Brooks did for Country music what panty hose did for finger fuckin."

I don't even include him in my top 20 country singers from Yukon, Oklahoma.

He's as fake as you can get in Country music.

I didn't know being alive was part of the equation ... I had the biggest crush on her at one time ... that's what I'd like to remember about her.

So you wanna bang a dead chick

Not me ... That's Alice Cooper ... if you dare

I'm adding Patti Smith to the group... not for her singing "acumen" or lack thereof, or somewhat limited vocal range....but rather for her raw energy, emotion and poignancy in many, if not most of her tunes. She ain't too shabby at songwriting either.
I just felt like she was being overlooked and needed a mention.

IMHO Carrie Underwood is the greatest female vocalist since Ann Wilson who was the greatest since Janice Joplin. What say you and why?

Nope...not even close.

Try again.

Gonna also add a shout out for Anne Murray (great voice,very popular in the 70's) and Martha Davis (lead singer of the band, The Motels...very big in the 80's)
