Re: joni for the new generation

Interesting what you say about Annie Lennox - I love her too. But it's more her voice and style I love. I'm not sure her lyrics can compete with Joni, who writes pure poetry, whereas Annie Lennox is more of a lyrics-to-be-sung person, IMO. But brilliant all the same.

. . .I think a case could be made for a lot of musicians who have followed in Joni's footsteps and carved out a similar path for themselves. My vote goes to Annie Lennox, who has been in the game since the late 70s and is just starting to be recognized as an astounding contributor to music, with her recent "Contribution to Music" Brit Award and her 2002 Billboard Century Award. One writer said about her, "Annie Lennox is the missing link between Joni Mitchell and the future."
