I don't agree with some of the choices...

Some people *cough*cough* Miley Cyrus, Ke$ha, Nicki Minaj *cough* don't even belong on this list. And people like Katy Perry, Rihanna, Britney Spears, and Kelly Clarkson hardly belong so high up on the list. And people like Hayley Williams and Florence and the Machine belong higher up on the list....
Sad that popularity sometimes wins over true talent.

lil kim should be infront of nicki minaj she basically made her in a way

reply
Adam Dodge to lolo 2012/06/23 04:37:19

I agree. I don't know if you've heard about this or not, but Nicki and Kim actually got into a feud because Nicki didn't give Kim credit where credit was due. Either way, I don't think that Nicki Minaj should be on this list at all.

Where's Janis Joplin, Niki Minaj rated higher than Melissa Etheridge?, Where's Ann and Nancy Wilson?, What about Wynonna Judd? This is just a popularity competition.. If It wasn't, there'd be a lot more of the greats and alot less of those who... well, lets just say, get their boobs out for money. P!nk has a rightful place on this. It's nice to see Sheryl Crow and k.d. Lang higher up too.

What the hell is Nicki Minaj doing above Amy Lee? -.-

Amy Lee, Florence + The Machine, Tori Amos, and Bjork are the ones that stand out.

Yes, it's a good list.

Demi Lovato, Colbie Caillat, Jordin Sparks, Avril Lavigne, Hayley Williams, Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, etc. ^^

No!

Based on the fact that the list's official title is "100 Greatest Women In Music" and not "100 Greatest Women In Music From The Past Twenty Years," this list should have covered ALL women in music. It's insulting to put most of these women in front of legends like Tina Turner, Joni Mitchell, Chrissie Hynde, Grace Slick, and, of course, Aretha Franklin.

reply
The Doc... to Adam Dodge 2012/03/11 04:45:47

It was only from the past 20 years though. That title would have been too long. And they didn't forget the women that made way for the artists of today.

reply
Adam Dodge to The Doc... 2012/03/11 16:28:26

I'm just speaking my mind. I know they gave brief mentions of Aretha, Tina, and several others, but they should've been on this list. Just saying.

Is this supposed to be "of all time"? Who did Mandy Moore, Avril Lavigne, Miley Cyrus & co have to sleep with to get a spot?

reply
The Doc... to Happy_E... 2012/02/20 15:37:31

It's of the past 20 years. So from 1992 to now.

I didn't recognize a few of them either. This of the past 20 years, so that could be why you don't know some of them. And yes Demi is 99 on the list; I'm glad she is on there. But she should have been higher on the list than Miley Cyrus. >.<

I agree. And also Ke$ha :P Her songs are fun, but she is NOT one of the greatest women in music.

Some of the people on the list are good, but in the wrong places. Amy Lee needs to be in the top 5 at least, for starters.

I know right? It's ridiculous. I was shocked when I saw Ke$ha on the list. But this was based on popular vote, so whatever. At least they are quite a few talented women on the list

reply
peaches to The Doc... 2012/02/16 22:30:26

Yes, I agree. Some definatly do deserve to be on the list (:

reply
Adam Dodge to peaches 2012/03/11 04:50:21

I agree with you somewhat. Miley, Nicki, and Ke$ha definitely shouldn't have been on here. However, I do disagree with your comment on Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry. Considering that Kelly won American Idol and all but the last two of her albums have gone at least platinum (last time I checked) and Katy Perry tied Michael Jackson's record of most #1 hits off a single album, I say they both belong in the top forty at least. Paramore has been my second favorite band for the past two years, so I share your opinion on Hayley being underrated. (Sorry for the lengthy response)

reply
peaches to Adam Dodge 2012/03/12 02:39:53

It's fine lol though being popular doesn't mean seriously talented... I, personally, don't think that they, as well as many others, have nearly enough talent and musicianship to be so far up... Paramore has been one of my favorite bands for a long time as well (:
