The Top 40 Female Artists of All Time : 10 to 1
It's 2020 we are making a bigger deal out of how wet the nether regions are rather than the quaity of music being made. Granted the people doing this must have never heard of Lil Kim. This also gives me the chance to take break from the lists of androgynous guys and makes this one.The top 40 hottest female artists, might come one day I am bored at some point but right now we are just focusing on the music. After all if you are writing good songs that stick in my head I do not care what you look like. You are not going to see artists here that I feel are covered by those who do what they do better or are such originators in their genre why listen to imitators. Not only does this list give commonly under rated artists their proper place, but I dig into as expected from me both harder and darker artists not mentioned in the same breath as pop artists. Speaking of that is covered by a handful of ladies as more would be redundant. There is one big one here in particular that takes care of everything . Only one rapper, and they are unique , and this is about their impact on music as a whole so iconoclasts not strippers with prodiucers or entertainers alone. Since this the Abysmal Hymns list there will of course be a darker slant and singer's with any gospel leanings that are blasphemous are obviously disqualified. So here we go...
10-Bjork
We have already cover a vast array of artists she has influenced going back to her days in the sugar cubes . One of the most unique creative forces making music.
9-Tori Amos
While sh takes a great deal of influence from the artists in our number one spot , so much that when I played the number one artist for my ex wife she could never listen to Tori again. Despite that she is an incredible musician and song writers
8-Tracy Chapman
She is more than a fast car. She has incredible depth to her song writing a roch voice. She not only deserves this place on the list , but eliminates the need for many other artists who try to do similar.
7-Madonna
If We are going to have any pop singer on this list it has to be here. She has done more than this from her campy performance on the Dick Tracy soundtrack to Evita. At her peak she had a great voice as well
.
6-Sade
The smoothest voice in jazz, she add so many level of other styles to it while being true to what she does. Live it is obvious she hold back in the studio
5-Joni Mitchell
I can't have Tracy Chapman or any female singer even influenced by folk with her on this list. Her phrashing is fucking unreal. She weaves her melodies like a jazz player.
4-Siouxsie
I would say she is the best goth singer of all time, but the next two artists on this list have been embraced by that community, she is however the best of the more punk influenced artists and almost any female fronted goth band these days tries to replicate what she does.
3- Lisa Gerrard Dead Can Dance
The most powerful voice I have ever heard live, she would very well be number , but the two top spots edged her out more for their song wirting ability.
2-Cocteau Twins
Um she has her own language and just uses her voice as an instrument...this is how a fairy would if fused with the vocal chords of an angel.
1-Kate Bush
I am not sure what is in question here ? SHe came out in 1978 and the world never had a chance to catch up. She is untouchable.
