R.E.S.P.E.C.T

It has been recently bought to my attention that the JJJ hottest 100 of all time this year did not feature many female artists. So I thought I would share my top 10 female artists and songs.

In now particular order:

Macy Gray - I Try: Her voice is so different and many think its not that good but I love it and this song has such a good message

No Doubt - Don't Speak: Just a great song and quite sad I always belt this out when I hear it

Aretha Franklin - Respect: What can I say other than WOW! Her voice is absolutely amazing and can not be copied this song has such a good meaning behind it to respect women and I respect her for doing this.

Regina Spektor - Samson: I love so many of her songs but this one is probably on of my faves, it is such a sweet love song about a couple wrapped around the old biblical story of Samson and Delilah.

Garbage - When I grow up: This was my theme song long ago, such a nice song about growing up and living your dreams.

Santogold - LES Artistes: One of my current favourite songs, just such a great beat and lyrics and her voice is amazing.

Paramore - Decode: Written for the twilight movie, such a great love song and sums up that movie perfectly, it almost makes me cry about a love that shouldn't be (the song not so much the movie)

The Distillers - City of angels: One of my favourite punk bands even though I don't listen to them that much anymore, i love Brodie's voice and the hint of whining it has really suits this sort of music

M.I.A - Paper Planes: Only song of hers I really like, espeically the ALL WANNA DO IS *BANG BANG BANG* Such a catchy song

Angus and Julia Stone - Private Lawns: I love these guys and Julia singing is just amazing on this track they both have such lovely voices.

Honourble mentions also go to:
Donnas
Dresden Dolls/ Amanda Palmer
Le Tigre/Bikini Kill
Spice Girls (sure they may suck but they did a lot for music)
Britney Spears/Cristina Aguleria (same as above)
Pink
Cher
Bjork
Sara Barilles

and I could go on
