horrible list
Nolan Parker
pretty good list other than lady gaga and adele. don't listen to all the people posting their meme waifus
Ethan Butler
>amy winehouse at #9 >No Joanna >No fiona bullshit, confirmed
Anthony Mitchell
Not an awful list but not including Vashti Bunyan and Joanna Newsom are glaring omissions and the rankings a pretty fucked in some cases. Having legends such as Aretha Franklin, Billie Holiday, and Odetta below current pop stars is really stupid as well.
Carter Sanchez
>Patti Smith #3
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Caleb Howard
>jnew not #1 >not on the list at all >taylor swift, lady gaga, and madonna listed
one of the worst things ive ever seen
Matthew White
PJ Harvey and Gillian Welch should be higher imo. Amy Winehouse should obviously be higher than Adele.
Lincoln Anderson
Good list, taste is different to say the least.
Brody Hall
WHOS DAT JONI BITCH SURE SHE WHITE QUEEN BAY SHOULD BE NUMBER 1 SHE THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME OGA BOOGA #SLAY
Jaxson Cooper
Shit list, but that top 5's pretty good
Gavin Edwards
Taylor Swift > than Aretha??

Parker Scott
>SANDY DENNY
dance in the dark of night....
Mason Thomas
>09 Adele >10 Amy >11 Bjork what did they mean by this
Blake Reyes
Ahaha
Adrian Hall
At least they got the top 3 right.
Ryder Collins
Sarah McLaughlin over Sheryl Crow and Alanis? hmmmmmmmm
Kayden Bell
no vashti? terrible list
Samuel Butler
>tfw if another joni mitchell comes along she'll be a good singer but shitty lyricist with indie twee lyrics
Adrian Murphy
>cat power below all that shit disgusting
Easton Davis
>ADELE Telegraph
Carole King should be 1
Jacob Foster
How fucking coked up were you to put Amy Winehouse above Bjork?
Jason Long
#1 is correct, so there's that.
Carole King #5, OK, but where's Laura Nyro?
Nina Simone should not be lower than Dolly Parton or Chrissie Hynde. Sarah McLachlan should be higher than some of her contemporaries like Shania Twain. Madonna and her offspring shouldn't be so high.
Amy Winehouse and Patti Smith are waaaaay overrated.
Adam Bell
the alt rock girls kinda got snubbed, besides pj harvey
Andrew Adams
