Joni by far, and if you seriously prefer Vashti overall I have difficulty taking you seriously. That being said, I love them both and Vashti's last album was my favorite of 2014.

This thread is fucking depressing.

Vashti is good, but Joni is honestly just on an entirely different. Vashti basically just stuck to the folk song tradition and conventions, which is fine, but explains her relative obscurity. Meanwhile the breadth of Joni's work (both sonically and in terms of her songwriting) extend so far beyond that that this isnt even a fair match up. She pretty much singlehandedly legitimized female singer-songwriters, like seriously guys what the fuck.

*different level

>She pretty much singlehandedly legitimized female singer-songwriters

Jesus christ Sup Forums really knows jack shit about female songwriters.

Joan Baez was even further entrenched in the folk conventions considering she primarily just performed traditionals or contemporary covers. She was a great singer, but you know, being a songwriter is generally one of the requirements for "legitimizing female singer-songwriters".

The other requirement is "legitimizing", which Baez did better than Mitchell.

Go back to your Wymen's Studies class, you spineless twat.

kill yourself

you can't fucking legitimize a group that you don't even belong to.

And it's just a fact that Sup Forums doesnt know shit about female songwriters that can't be memed or waifu'd.

p.s. best baez album is any day now and her performances with dylan in 64 (see bootleg series vol. 6 & 50th anniversary edition 1964 box set) were the best thing she ever did
