I'm sorry if this has been posted already, i'm way behind on digests. Here is another one of those somewhat questionable polls from Q magazine. This time they are are looking at the greatest female singers. Joni is in the top ten, not as near the top spot as I'd have put her. I think that i would rearrange the list with joni at #1, Patti Smith at #2, then alanis, madonna, annie lennox, bjork, tori amos, debbie harry, pj harvyer, fiona apple, in that order. However, it is great to see so many greats, like Marianne Faithful, Kim Deal, Nico, Karen Carpenter, Cher and Janet Jackson getting into the poll. No Jewel or Kiki Dee or Barbra Streisand, hhmmmm.
